My girlfriend made me watch an episode of this today, and I laughed a few times. Anyone else see this show? I kinda like it, but I'm not sure it'll find a way into my regular rotation.

We started watching this last weekend on Hulu. We started with the pilot and are on episode 13. Mike, this show is funny. It could be that I had such low expectations since I thought it would be extremely derogatory towards Indians. It is not, it dances around it nicely. The show is all about culture, the Indians learning about American culture, and the Todd (the American call center manager) learning about Indian culture. In the Thanksgiving episode the call center workers dressed up as Pilgrims and Indians. When the employees asked about Thanksgiving Todd told them that they don't wnat to be called "Indians" that they prefer "Native Americans." They asked why and Todd said, "Because they find it offensive." l0l!!

This show is getting better. It's good that you skipped the earlier episodes. They seemed to have run out of some of the obvious Indian jokes (some of which were kinda racists and terrible) and now are getting funny with the characters. I like the characters with exception of the main guy and the Nicole Kidman lookalike. Diedrich Bader is hilarious. The more Diedrich Bader the better. I am glad I didn't give up on the show but I think many people bailed out with some of the terrible early episodes. I probably stayed with the show only because of my affinity for hot Indian chicks.

The earlier episodes help to establish the characters. I thought they were funny, but as the season went it, it got progressively funnier. You are right about Bader. He is the man.
