WOW, just WOW

I'm speachless

Not because i have seen something amazing but because it's so darn weird & unusual to see such a title for a show & actually work with that sort of religious theme in a country that well, isn't used to that type of theme

ALSO, terrible amount of what i call islamophobia going round post 9/11 through media covnveying negative programs since, so nice to see a theme like this with a western muslim slant showing muslims are just like you. Humans

Yeah, I'll admit when I first heard the name I was kinda like "oh, whatever" thinking it was ....well, not sure what it was.

But then I finally watched it and it was really funny. It's a very light hearted and family type show that everyone can watch.

It doesn't beat you over the head with the religious stuff, and it's kinda funny. There's some stuff in there that I could understand if a Christian (as I am) got upset over it, but it's really not that serious. There's no sharpness to the light jabs that get sent to everyone that it's just hard to be mad about it.

A third of the way through the fourth season now. This will probably be the final season as I was surprised that it got this far.

Excellent show though. I encourage everyone to check this show out if you can. Go to Youtube and there's entire episodes uploaded (in two or three parts).

Such a great and funny show.

supposedly there's going to be an American remake which I'm dreading. It's going to probably dumb it down and make a bunch of innuendo jokes and whatnot. Not that I'm against innuendo, btw. I LOVE innuendo, just not for this.

I just was watching the extras on Season 1 DVD, and in an interview with Sitara Hewitt (pics below) used to be a backup dancer for hip hop artist Foxy Brown. lol. Had no idea!

Read this and thought of you Groo....

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!
