"Outsourced" is one of the worst shows of 2010 according to MSN:
What could have been a grand step for diversity on television is instead TV's longest-running ethnic joke. A much-maligned riff on a relatively obscure 2006 indie movie, NBC's lame sitcom "Outsourced" centers on the foibles (and there are plenty) of a really, really white guy (Ben Rappaport) from Middle America who is sent to run a call center in the heart of dirty, smelly, Delhi belly-inducing India. Naturally, cow poop, curry and Kama Sutra references abound, along with some silly tension about arranged marriages, sexual harassment and interracial office romances. Then there are all the stupid name jokes -- like Hardeek and Manmeet, followed by self-congratulatory laughter. Really, guys? Maybe the funny got lost in translation. -- Sona Charaipotra
