Outsourced TV Show Premiered

Outsourced, the new TV show on NBC, premiered on Thursday night. The New York Times’ Alessandra Stanley made a review of the prime time American show.

“Back in superpower times, cultural clashes took place on this side of the ocean and the joke was on the foreigners…,” wrote Ms. Stanley, adding that “Outsourced” “reverses the premise to place an American naïf out of his depth in the developing world.”

“‘Outsourced’ is a comedy about Indian capitalism that mostly makes fun of American decline. That’s a healthy sign — television may be the one American industry that is not on a downward slope,” said Ms. Stanley.
