My smartphone reminded me that the debut of the show was near. It is this Thursday. Thursday night at 9:30 pm. So I got onto Facebook, then texted and twittered some of my friends to remind them. I wanted to make sure I had something to talk to my coworker about his daughter's debut. The coundown is over!
"Outsourced," the comedy about a man from the Midwest who gets sent to run a call center in India, debuted as the newest part of NBC's popular Thursday night lineup. It got started with great fanfare and lots of expectations.
The half-hour show is definitely a satire about consumerism and prejudice. Yet, it does a good job of going crosscultural as it takes a look at what's going on in American and Indian cultures. For example, the idea of selling anything even excrements and vomit or making any products such as cheesehead and dancing breasts makes us take an introspective look at ourselves.
Obviously, you will hear about jokes about both cultures, good and/or bad ones. Indian food, Indian accents, Indian names, the crazy caste system, American dating and stupid consumerism etc. are part of the show. Even the American pop culture is fair game.
No it is not insensitive in regards to the Indian culture. Some critics are saying that it is an excuse to mock the Indian culture. I see the show as a new vehicle to get acquainted and exposed to the richness and beauty of the Indian culture.
It is a good transition between the Office and Donald Trump's show as it takes a light look at the economy.
One new show to watch from now on....
A great debut, Kody! Way to break into show business! We hope to see more of you in the next episodes!

Fans of the Twilight Saga Series Are Playing a New Love Triangle Game Found at LittlebitsofLoveArt.blogspot.com
Fans of the Twilight Saga series are involved in a very serious game which they hope will be spread all over the nation and the world. Inspired by the series and their love of art that can help heal and inspire others, fans are looking for Bella and Jacob's love art notes in places that nobody would think about. Once a lucky finder is able to find one, he/she reports their findings to Little Bits of Love Art by sharing the impact of this love note finding on their own lives and on their friends. In turn, they may go ahead and strategically place it somewhere else so the journey of searching, finding, discovering and healing can have its own life story.
Needless to say that as a fan of the love triangle between Bella, Edward and Jacob, I was so happy to be the discoverer of a love note seen here
The message was clear to me and my friends. I read it and looked at the back of the card where I found the address of this blog, http://littlebitsofloveart.blogspot.com

Anybody can participate. If you are a fan of the Twilight Saga series, if you are as beautiful as Bella or as handsome as Edward or as muscled as Jacob, you can be part of the Little Bits of Love Art
