The good news is NBC's new sitcom "Outsourced" is not as offensive as I expected it to be. The bad news is it isn't as funny as...well, it just isn't funny.
Thursday night's premiere scored fairly well in the ratings, so many of you may have already sampled this half-hour about an American sent to a call center in India to have wacky cultural misunderstandings with them--er, train them up and run the business. But for the rest of you, here are some reasons why you should check it out:
*You think India is just a pretty damn funny country...
*And its citizens, even more so.
*You think it's about time someone set a situation comedy in the glamorous, high-stakes world of novelty toy sales.
*Ever since co-star Diedrich Bader became the voice of Batman in "The Brave and the Bold," you just find everything he says in live action funnier.
*You're determined to watch NBC each Thursday at the same time until someone goes ahead and dumps this and returns "Parks and Recreation" to the schedule (if this is you, Ivan, I'm telling you, buddy, back away from the TV, and we'll let you know when it's back on).
