I said Outsourced was careful -- too careful, probably, to be very funny... I liked Rizwan Manji as Rajiv... I also thought Diedrich Bader did his usual excellent job.

Filled with simplistic clichés, iffy writing, and ignorance.

Careful viewing reveals that American customs bear the brunt of most of the gentle humor of this series that should fit seamlessly into NBC's goofballs-at-the-office (or in-the-classroom) Thursday-night sitcom block.
