"In America, we call that a wife-beater."
"How ironic, for I have no wife to beat."
It's a little uneven, but I think this show is pretty funny. I caught up with it on Hulu and was pleasantly surprised.

I like it so far, the first ep was kind of a primer but sense then it's taken on it's own enjoyable quirks.

I will admit they have managed to navigate away from the dangerous political incorrectness the pilot was veering toward. I have to admit I have laughed out loud several times during the past 3 episodes.

This was by far the best episode. Great interaction between Diedrich Bader's character and the three call center employees. Liked the nicknames he gave them.
Also liked Todd's interaction with his assistant manager and Asha.
Loved the wifebeater joke since I've had conversations with a couple of other people about when this slang came about.
Hated the Harshit joke. Ha ha! We get it, Indians have funny names.

I miss 30 Rock in that timeslot. It has some amusing parts here and there but not convinced it would hold up without the strong lead-in.

I'm enjoying this show more each week, though it's still not "must-see" for me...but it makes a good watch with The Office. I'll keep watching, even though it is still a bit uneven.

Same here. And I think it's hilarious that people are still upset that they are making fun of Indian people and their culture. Hello, they're making fun of everyone - include us white people!
I am already invested in a lot of the characters - loving Gupta!
And the episode brought back memories of having shrimp vindaloo and uncontrollably hiccuping like crazy (very loudly) in a restaurant full of people with the back of my head pouring sweat.

They've improved since the first two episodes, but only marginally in my book. We'll see what happens. This last episode was definitely the best. That said, if this wasn't on between The Office and It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, I wouldn't even bother watching it.

Well, for those that thought this show would go away quickly...sorry.

I really can't believe this got a full season. One of the reasons I don't like this show and want it to fail (all my other criticisms aside) is because it prevents my favourite comedy of last year - Parks And Recreation - from returning to television. Outsourced getting a full season means we won't see Parks And Recreation for a while, probably March or April.

True. Better they hold it and air it properly than just let it die off. I just miss it being on the air. At least the Season Two DVD comes out in November and I can watch it in the meantime.
As far as Outsourced is concerned though, the episodes have been improving each week, so there's that. If the trend continues the show should hit it's stride by the end of the initial order.
