Why is it that shows that i like (or semi-like) seem to never last? On NBC it was The Cape and Outsourced. Either that or they mess up what i like about the shows (ex. the horrid Chuck season 3).
i guess i was thinking about Outsourced after i saw the movie of the same name. They were a lot different (though some of the characters feel familiar). The cast for the TV show was so much better in my opinion than the movie.
This is actually an interesting way to showcase the culture clash, while providing a way to make fun of it (both the clash between cultures and between business methods). The show was never about extolling the virtues of outsourcing, it was about a comedy based in an office that was a little different setting. i know i have weird taste in entertainment, but i would much rather watch something like this (should have taken things a little more absurd) than the boring Office with Steve Carell (what is his appeal anyway?). True the show was not great, but it was at least somewhat entertaining (not buy the DVD set entertaining).
Basically, there were two shows that i watched on NBC Thursdays (it has really, really slipped in my eyes). It worked for me when they were back to back (Community and Outsourced). However, they decided to move Outsourced later to promote a really, really lame show (Perfect Couples?). Let's just put it this way... i can't stand Parks and Recreation, The Office or 30 Rock. So the move to later in the night prevented me from watching Outsourced.
