I get tired of the same old situation comedy and this one had some fresh ideas in it because of being in India. Not all call centers are located in India. I had a great talk with someone who was in Ireland. Problem was that she couldn't help me but she did sound sypathetic. Now I can't remember why I called, just that I liked her.

I have actually seen the movie and found it pretty good! Hope they don't mess up the TV series. Although, I wonder how they are going to drag it into a TV series since I felt the movie was sufficient. Wow! This is news to me! I have actually seen the movie and found it pretty good!

I had someone calling me from India every month because I ordered a prescription on-line once (based on a friend's advice). I would tell them every month that I did not want a refill, that I wasn't taking that prescription. This probably went on for a year and a half. Then I started telling them that Sharon (me) had moved. I did that over and over and over. Every once and a while my husband or son would just say I was not home. I was getting to the point of yelling (swearing was next on the list). Now they only call about every 3-4 months. I do not have caller-id so I have to really be sure it is them before I tell them I moved. I think the show looks funny and probably not one that you have to follow from week to week.

I'm not really sure how well it will go over with the TV public. There may be a lot of animosity about losing losing one's job due to outsourcing. We are originally from India and even we get frustrated by the call centers. Hubby and I really enjoyed the movie and are looking forward to this show.

We don't have a DVR and I have a terrible memory regarding tv. If I really want to watch something, I have to tell my 5 year old to remind me to turn it on. "Tell mom to turn on the tv tonight at 8:00, okay?" Believe me, it's a less than reliable system. I watched your clip, Vera, and I thought that accent part was the funniest too!

I must say there are a few companies I deal with regularly and I appreciate that when you call customer service you are dealing with people in the US. My frustration is not so much the outsourcing but the press 1 for this and 2 for this and then 20 minutes later you get to talk to someone.

Looks funny ... Not sure I'll *have* to watch it, but I'll probably catch it when I can, if for no other reason than to see if it's really what I'm led to believe via the previews :) I saw a commercial for this during a football game a week or so ago, and thought it looked like a variation of ‘The Office’ — maybe trying to find something to fill that impending void?
