A number of news sources are reporting that NBC is going to develop a sitcom based on the movie “Outsourcing.”  According to the coverage in Variety,

“Indie feature ‘Outsourced’ is being developed into a TV comedy by helmer Ken Kwapis (’The Office’).

NBC has made a premium script commitment to the half-hour, with Kwapis attached to direct a pilot if one is greenlit.  George Wing (’50 First Dates’) and John Jeffcoat, who wrote the feature, are set to adapt their work for TV.

Like the movie, ‘Outsourced’ will revolve around a customer service manager from Seattle who is sent to India to train a ragtag group of call-center employees.”

I can’t help but wonder whether anyone would watch a movie about a software testing lab in China.  I’m afraid that it doesn’t have the same emotional resonance with NBC’s audience.  Will you watch the “Outsourcing” show on NBC?
