The little Mosque on the Prairie!!! email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 79/100. berlinlife (4345)3 years ago

There is a new Canadian sitcom that deals with the life of Muslims:
I just so a reportage about it on CNN International, and found it very interesting, intelligent and funny! The creator of the show, a very atractive muslim woman was explaining the whole process and intentions of creating a sitcom like this one.
Do you think it is a funny thing? Would you watch it? Or you think it is too risky to be using this point of view for westeners? I really would love to watch it, but I'm in Germany, not in Canada! What are your thoughts about this. Following is a bit of information I've found and the link to it.

"The CBC has quietly ordered eight episodes of a promising -- but potentially politically controversial -- new sitcom, Little Mosque on the Prairie, about a fictional Muslim family living in rural Saskatchewan. But instead of hoisting pitchforks, rolling down hills and selling eggs at Oleson's General store like Michael Landon's Ingalls family, this transplanted clan will be trying to interact with the denizens of a little Prairie town in a post Sept. 11 world."

I would definitely watch it. I lived for 4 years in North Africa and it would be so interesting to see how they portrayed a Muslims family. Perhaps it would allow more tolerance (which we badly need) for people of difference races and beliefs.

Having lived in the Detroit area forever, I have always had access to Windsor, Ontario TV, channel 9. I have always liked much of the Canadian programming better than a lot of US shows. They have had some great comedy shows over the years. The Red Green show comes to mind. Some of their dramas have been good. One show I always liked was North of 60.

I would watch this comedy/sitcom without regard to it being about Muslims. In my view, comedy is comedy no matter the nationality, race or country. People are funny in any language. Unfortunately, I am now further outside of Detroit and the local satellite company does not offer channel 9. Otherwise I would like to watch it. I think it could be an excellent show knowing some of the past Canadian gems to be aired.
