RaziaK Review of Little Mosque on the Prairie

Little Mosque on the Prairie (2007–2012)

"The Saudis couldn't see the moon if it was spurting with gold"

[10/10 · 11 January 2007]

That was probably the funniest line, after: "My parents never fasted...they are huge." This isn't edgy comedy-- its light-hearted satire on some very serious issues. The writers sure addressed some difficult issues like Saudi's obsession with money with a lot of humor (Baber "The Saudis couldn't see the moon if it was spurting with gold". The acting is pretty good -- all the actors did a superb job, although the accents were kind of thick. The show's creator based the show on some of her experiences growing up in Regina, so it'll be interesting to see a Muslim woman's perspective of small-town Canada. The white people portrayed in the show were pretty cool. This sitcom may not last after the 8 taped episodes, but it was well worth the effort CBC! Thanks!
