I see that CNN is reporting on the new Muslim comedy that the CBC is going to start running this month. It’s called Little Mosque on the Prarie. I will definitely give it a chance, but I’m afraid it’s one of those shows where they’ve used all the really funny lines in the commercials, and so the actual show will probably be disappointing. I hope it's not too preachy.
But you never know, it could be okay. It can’t be more small-town than Corner Gas and that’s pretty amusing some weeks.
You can tell from the CNN report that they think we are all cutting edge up here in that someone is daring to air a comedy with Muslims in it. If it was really out there, it would be a comedy about married gay, pot-smoking Muslims who vote Socialist.

Corner Gas has just started here, but I haven't caught it yet - is it any good?
I feel more comfortable with the Canadians tackling a muslim comedy than the Americans - can you imagine how preachy that would be!
Corner Gas is hit or miss. Some episodes I've laughed, while other times I've thought wow there really is nothing going on in this prarie town. That's too realistic.
we people of the mushrooms only recently discovered corner gas on dvd "we laughed our heads off," comments miss mushrooms
