3rd and Late

This is my 3rd Blog, and only 3 days late.


So the more I watch Outsourced, the more I find myself liking it.
1. There is a love interest already, but the characters have not pursued their feeling for each other. Which is good, some shows (like News Radio) had the two main characters fall for each other, do it, regret it, then get back together all in the first episode.
2. I like how it is not taken place in one set. I find myself almost forgetting it's a TV show, and not a movie.
3. The jokes are pretty funny, and the actors/actresses play their parts very well.
4. Outsourced is already a movie, with the same title and concept. But after I watched the trailer, the show seems alot better.
5. the show is written well. After 4 episodes, you have a good idea of what most of the characters are really like. ex. the boss is a total dick, but in the 3rd episode, you see that he has heart. (awwww)


"In its first week on the air, Outsourced attracted a 3.6 in the 18-49 demographic and 7.49 million total viewers. For the timeslot, it ranked in third place in total viewers but was second in the demo, where the numbers really count.
On the downside, Outsourced lost about 20% of its Office lead-in audience in the demo and 12% in total viewers. Also, about 15% of its audience tuned out midway through the episode. Those people gave it a try and probably won’t be back next week."--http://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/outsourced-cancel-keep-18725/
Big Lake has not been cancelled yet, somehow. But I am sure it's not coming back for a 2nd season.

Shows Sell... But Who's Watching?

"Outsourced" is apparently doing pretty good. I kinda can't stand the lead guy, he remind me of Jim from the Office, he only had one character, and he plays it to death. I haven't been able to watch the full second episode, but i am attempting to watch it now... as I type this blog.
"Big Lake" is so lame. I watched an episode by myself, then I watched another with company. We both agreed that the show is lame, yet we still watched the full episode and ended up laughing a good bit by the end. But most of the show is just awkward dialogue, it is not very well written- or acted, i can't figure it out.

okay, "Outsourced" is a little funny.
