There are some green-lit TV series that seem destined to be cancelled. “Cavemen,” the show based on the Geico commercial Neanderthals, was one of these series. “Poochinski,” the series in which the main character was a cop transformed into a bulldog, was another. Hopefully “Outsourced,” the new part of the NBC Thursday-night comedy block, will join “Cavemen” and “Poochinski” in the Eighth Circle of Cancellation Hell.

Put simply, “Outsourced” is awful. The series follows an American manager working in India thanks to outsourcing. Hilarious hijinks are supposed to ensue because of all the culture clashes that occur when an American has to manage an office in India. But the show is poorly written, poorly acted and poorly made (nobody buys for a second that its actually set in India). It’s also racist—against almost everyone. I don’t really understand that strategy because you can only appeal to people who hate both Americans and Indians. I’m pretty sure that isn’t one of the target demographics that you have to win in order to triumph in the ratings battle.

More important is the fact that “Outsourced” isn’t necessary. There was no void in the NBC Thursday-night comedy block. “30 Rock” was steadily gaining viewers as it accrued prestigious awards like a fourth-grader collects Silly Bandz; “The Office,” despite a dip in quality, was still well viewed; “Community” came off a strong first season featuring some of the most talked-about moments on the tube; and “Parks and Recreation,” was arguably the best comedy on television.

But the brilliant suits at NBC decided to move “Parks and Rec” to midseason. This move came despite the fact that their cast and crew filmed as many episodes as possible before Amy Poehler had to take maternity leave so that the third season would be ready for fall. This move came despite a critical consensus that it had vastly improved since its second season to become one of TV’s best sitcoms. And this move came despite having a cast of comedic rising stars and veterans that had just found its groove. NBC executives have moved “Parks and Rec” to the midseason, when such hits as “Superstars of Dance” and “Howie Do It” premiere. If cancellation is hell, midseason might as well be Limbo.

Thus, in the name of well-scripted and well–acted comedy, in the name of not being racist, and in the name of “Poochinski,” I beg thee to boycott “Outsourced.” Multiple shows have already been cancelled this pilot season, almost all of them with better reviews than “Outsourced.” If you have a choice between quality and stupidity, the answer is obvious.
