CSI: Mumbai?

February 24, 2009 -- Santa Monica, CA. America watched in suspense Sunday night as Steven Spielberg said, "And the Oscar goes to ... Slumdog Millionaire." And while many viewers teared-up and cheered for the rags-to-riches film, savvy television insiders recognized the opportunity and were looking to strike.

"The floodgates in India are now open and with the SAG situation in crisis, executives may go non-union and hire nothing but Indians to rule the big screen," said a Hollywood reporter. "We're farming out all our jobs already, it's not out of the question to see CSI: Mumbai or Hindu Idol popping-up." Reportedly, many executives skipped the Oscar after parties and hopped on private jets en route to India to find their next location and star. The rush is on.

As news of this continues to flood our phones and email, we're hearing of many shows already being pitched for summer or fall release. A few of them include How I Met Your Mullah; Dancing With the Indians; Everybody Loves Rahul; the Bombay Bachelor; Survivor: Kashmir; and The New Delhi Deli, which features contestants trying to make the best sandwich and an angry chef who makes Hell's Kitchen's Gordon Ramsey look like a kitten.
