The Official Little Mosque on the Prairie Discussion Thread

[Groo The Perverted]

UPDATE: Season 5 was greenlit!

UPDATE #2: Season 5 Begins on December 6th 2010, according to their facebook page.

Actor Zaib Shaikh, who plays the role of imam Amaar Rashid on Little Mosque on the Prairie, credits timing, and the wisdom of the powers-that-be at CBC, with a large part of the show's success, set to begin production this summer on its fifth season.

"I think the folks at CBC were very smart when they took ( Little Mosque) on," said Shaikh in a recent interview.

"It was a post 9/11 world, at a time when there was a growing curiosity about the Muslim culture, and at a time when fear had turned to fascination."

FILMING UNDERWAY:

Good news for those who were left wanting more of this little Canadian series.
It has gone into production for series 5...

"The fifth season, which will debut the first of 13 episodes sometime in January after a special stand-alone Christmas special in December, features all the original characters from the first season. Carlo Rota, who had to bow out of the second half of last season due to scheduling conflicts, will return for a limited number of episodes, as will Derek McGrath as Reverend Magee in the second half of the season."

Good that Carlo is returning - it made a big difference him not being there - but I guess Stargate Universe is a bigger gig for him - as I saw him bit-parting there!

I LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!!

I first discovered this show near the end of the second season. Such a wonderful show.

Anyone else seen it?

The only actor in it that the average American may recognize is Carlo Rota, who plays Morris O'Brien on 24 (Chloe's Ex)
