Julian Ichen Little Mosque on the Prairie is awful. Why do Canadian sitcoms on CBC have to be so terrible all the time? This show was written by a public school creative writing class on "wacky fun comedy day" and acted by community theatre volunteers who weren't quite good or convincing enough to get parts as extras in a Paris Ontario production of Hamlet starring the local barber as Hamlet and by the way the local barber has a lisp and is 92 years old. Every one of these characters is so awful and the actors are so horribly sent from hell awful that I get physically sick and angry watching them spasm all over my TV screen spitting out the puerile vomit inducing garbage the idiot writers and director gave them to say. This dog vomit of a show lasted more than one episode which is proof that the CBC seriously does not care one bit about if the shows it produces are good or liked by Canadians, they just keep spending our money on whatever garbage they want especially when the star of this show, the guy playing the Muslim imam, is in a relationship with the head of CBC and ended up marrying her! That's right this awful show stayed on the air and in my mind shouldn't it be criminal that tax payer dollars were directed by the head of CBC to a show because her boyfriend was on it? It's disgusting and these people should be thrown in jail.
jmwlmt I don't see why this series has gotten so many bad reviews. It just came to the US market on Pivot and I think it's pretty entertaining. It's not trying to be high drama or acerbic satire-- It's just a cute little show. It can be a little predictable and the jokes sometimes fall flat, but it's funny inoffensive and emphasizes the similarities between Christians and Mulisms rather than exploiting the differences. Deconstructing and over analyzing programs like this one is a waste of time. You don't go to a picnic expecting surf and turf, and you don't watch shows like Little Mosque for the brilliant writing and heartfelt acting.
Ahdar A nice addition to the Canadian television scene, Little Mosque is another "small town with wacky characters" type of show, like a cross between Doc Martin and Gilmore Girls. Zaib Shaikh plays the Fish Out of Water character as a Toronto city slicker who moves to quirky prairie town Mercy (for some reason, Toronto versus the rest of Canada is a theme in Canadian TV) to become the new imam. All of the usual characters are here; mercenary Yassir, his independent daughter Rayyan and her neurotic mother Sarah. Supporting "villagers" provide plenty of comic relief: ex. Rush Limbaugh-esque radio host Fred Tupper and the hilariously judgmental economics professor Baber. It comes as no surprise that the show shares writers with another successful Canadian export, Corner Gas. It must be noted for first-time viewers that after they left the show in the third season Little Mosque scripts became bewilderingly stupid, so it's best to stop with the third season.
doctorawesomepants Little Mosque on the Prairie was so over-hyped by CBC that I am actually angry. All those advertisements probably cost a whole lot of money, mostly the tax dollars that CBC is given to stay on the air obviously, plus the tax dollars that were wasted just making this show.... it makes me seriously angry.And the hype was a terrible idea. Sure a lot of people watched the premiere, and it hitched onto the whole "Corner Gas" phenomena which was huge at the time (before Corner Gas became a bad show itself) by setting itself in Saskatchewan, but as soon as anyone saw it they realised how awful it was. People were actually worried it would be too offencive! The show is somewhere on the level of offensiveness scale between peanut butter and a glass of water. If you are offended by this show I hope it is the atrocious attempts at comedy that are offending you. The writing is so predictable and so elementary that it makes me vomit in my mouth just thinking about it. These people actually get paid to write this garbage! The acting is the show's real undoing though. Not a single one of these characters can deliver their lines in at all a believable way. It's hard to tell if it is the writing or the horrible acting that ruins every possibility for a joke/laugh in this show. The two main characters, Amaar and Rayyan, couldn't act their way out of a dollar store paper bag. They are seriously two of the worst actors I have ever seen on a TV show, and they are the main cast members for some reason! What is CBC thinking?
