What a shame. I really liked this show. It was really funny. Does anyone know if they are going to put it on DVD?

So, as usual, quality, funny shows are dropped and reality TV schlock like America’s Next Top Model is renewed. This show was funny and the premise was quite different than Little Mosque, which is also good. Oh well, more time for reading as one less TV favourite to watch in 2008-09.

I have my list of shows, like everyone. But this was the only show I had, that made me feel, plain and simply, good.

John, It is too bad that you never checked it out, because then you would’ve found out that your suspicions were incorrect.

It just goes to prove, once again… just because an American network can steal a good idea from another country, it doesn’t mean that they can make it work. This show suddenly appeared right after the CBC ran its first successful season of “Little Mosque On The Prairie” in Canada. “Little Mosque” is a funny and smart, in its comparisons of a Muslim community and how they relate to “the rest of us”.

Alas, I never took the time to catch an episode of “Aliens In America” (likely because I considered it a rip-off of the CBC production), but I suspect that the series was never able to find that balance that it needed, to show the necessary respect for the Muslim religion, and to highlight the “human” foibles that we all have, regardless of how we worship.
