joebondo I discovered LMOTP by accident while looking up Boyd Banks on IMDb. Because the show did not air in the U.S., I was lucky to find a dedicated you tuber who uploaded the new episodes each week. Being an American-Arab, I can see why many non-Arabs might find the show lame but being Arab myself, I was really able to identify with all the story lines week to week. Obviously, one is going to identify with their own culture closer than others. I would agree that many of the jokes may come off as being "corny", but at the end of the day, it really is a good, "clean", light hearted show. It probably would have been better received in the 70's or 80's. If you try not to take the show too seriously, I think you'll find a delightful little comedy. I think if more people understood Arab culture, do's & don't's, rules, etc. more people would appreciate the show. With many shows on TV today displaying so much "filth" as far as explicit sex and language, LMOTP always kept it clean and I appreciated that.

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.

azergreco Shame on you CBC for airing garbage like this year after year and either cancelling or never making anything good for Canadians to watch. Who picks your shows? Why do we get 15 awful seasons of 22 minutes and Air Farce long after they were relevant or funny? Why take a good premise like Little Mosque on the Prairie and then totally ruin it with the worst cast and writing you could ever imagine? The jokes are terrible literally the worst jokes and acting on TV. The characters are all so awful I wanted them to die on screen in painful ways. Please replace everyone at CBC, fire yourself, and put someone in who will put a good TV show on the air.

seneyt-2 The show jumped the shark when they changed Anglican clergy. The current actor, with no negative reflection on his ability, is too antagonistic and the Anglican priest is made into a 'cartoon'. He wears his collar all the time and even the most staunch Anglican clergy I know at least take their off to shower ;-) Although I'm not Anglican, I hold a doctorate in Anglican studies, have taken courses at Anglican colleges and hold theological degrees from United, Anglican and Full Gospel colleges, including a PhD in theology. The absence of Carl Rota is another downer. Corner Gas, Canada's other giant contribution to humour, knew when to call it quits at the top of their game. In spite of the excellent acting, the story line has grown stale and it may be time to pull the plug. (I don't think this has a spoiler, but I checked the box just in case).
