Outsourced

The new series (based on the 2006 indie film of the same name) centers on the all-American Novelties company whose call center has suddenly been outsourced to India. Todd Dempsy (Ben Rappaport) is the new company’s manager who learns that he’s being transferred to India to run the operation. Overwhelmed, Todd discovers that his new staff needs a crash course in all things American if they are to understand the U.S. product line and ramp up sales from halfway around the world. Robert Borden (The Drew Carey Show) is executive producer/writer. Ken Kwapis (The Office) developed the project through his company, In Cahoots, and serves as executive producer/director. Sure the concept isn't new but it looks fun. Coming thursdays this fall on NBC.
