Nbcs show

I would say it has to be based on this movie after watching the trailer on NBC's website.

The main characters name in both is Todd. They are selling novelty items in both. There is a person working in the call center named Manmeat in both. I don't think these are just coincidences.

I did notice that the movie was a little more serious then the tv show seems like it will be. The tv show seems like its trying to fit in more with the comedy of Community and The Office.

Yes, the series is based off the movie.

the only person that isnt the same from the movie to the show is Gupta.

there is no gupta in the movie.

other than that, it follows a similar path, although TV shows need to add things for longevity of course.

They seemed similar, but it was confusing to me, because they used a completely different cast. They probably just found people who could provide the same service cheaper. I hear that's a trend. ;)

Also, I thought Madhuri was a lot prettier than Asha in the movie, but Asha was prettier than Madhuri on the TV show. I'm trying to think if there is any significance to that.

Coming in late here but yes. Unfortunately NBC cancelled it after 1 season. Much more light hearted and whacky than the movie. Really good fun.
