I really enjoy this show. I have yet to see the movie the sitcom is based on, but after watching the first season of "Outsourced", I might just check the movie out now that I know the show has been cancelled, which, while disappointing, makes sense, because how long could they draw the premise out and keep it fresh, interesting, and entertaining?

"Bad for a Different Reason Than You Thought: Outsourced
The argument against Outsourced as a xenophobic show that consistently paints Indian people and their culture as weird, silly and crazy in order to keep its “fish out of water" storyline rolling is well-known and well-documented. It’s also not exactly false. Even though the show tries make the message “We Americans are just as crazy, if not even crazier," the jokes at the Indian characters’ expense are still there, and still more"
