Mosque Acres

stuff 116 Comments

I’ll let others speak to the rest of it, but after watching (Little Mosque On The Prairie) a few minutes (or was it a minute?) it occured to me that the spectrum of “white rural folk” portrayed were vaguely reminiscent of television characters encountered in an earlier life.
Perhaps Arnold Ziffel will make his appearance in a later episode.
PS… Huh. I’m not the only one who noticed.
Update Read the comments for suggestions on other show titles (just a sampling):
Guantanamo Bay Watch

  1. ‘Had the pleasure of company last night, people we see once a year on their migratory trip south, so no LMOTP. ‘Shed a perfunctory tear and promptly forgot what I was missing.
    Talking about prophetic voices, I knew it wouldn’t be funny! I knew it would be preachy, and I also knew, being a CBC sitcom (hey, isn’t that an oxymoron?), that it would be stilted and amateurish.
    How do you know that CBC itself recognizes that it’s got a real clunker on its hands?
    * Play trailers every half hour pumping the show;
    * get Tom Allen, CBC host of Music and Company, to (astonishingly and embarrassingly) gush over it;
    * and have Rick Mercer pimp it (as Canadian Infidel says) just after a PMSH- and CPC-bashing show with high-fives for Dion and the Libs.
    Sadly, even if only a handful of people watch it, the CBC, which knows no shame, will continue to air it, all on our dime.
    I’m going to have to steel myself to watch LMOTP sometime, just to see what it’s up to. I’ll have my barf bucket handy.
    PS–I hope that Laura Ingall’s estate sues the pants off the writers for ripping off her title.
    LOL, Mississauga Matt: “I have observed that anything with Sonia Smits in it is crap; maybe they’ve found a way to be crap without her.” Yeah, they’ve recruited Sheila McCarthy to take Smits’ place. Just more mediocrity, what we’ve come to expect, at the CBC.

  4. Ten bucks sez, even with all the contrived controversy, this CBC dog won’t pull the numbers to justify its ad spots.
    12 people will be watching 🙂

  5. I didn’t watch, so comment is not appropriate.
    The Bill O’Reilly Factor at Fox channel is on at the same time.
    I will perhaps sacrifice a half hour next time out of curiosity so I can make my judgment.

  6. Out of curiosity, I watched last night’s initial episode. Contrast the “convert” wife character’s dress with that of the Toronto convert who made the news with the terrorist arrests last year, who was covered head to foot. I thought the whole show was hokey, the locals portrayed as mostly yokels. I don’t think I’ll watch it again.
    BTW,I live in a rural area of Ottawa and we have twice elected a Canadian of Lebanese origin as our councilor (Eli El-Chantiry, a great guy). So much for rurals being redneck ignoramuses.
    The Sheila McCarthy/Sonia Smits comment ties in nicely with the ACTRA strike. The same 10 recycled actors over and over again in every CBC production. I had to laugh at Eric Peterson’s performance at the press conference – I thought Oscar was a fictional character. Jacka**!!

  7. Popped in to check out “Mosque”. First thing I noticed was the cross lying on its side on the stage where the imam was speaking. And the “white” female convert praying.
    Changed the channel soon after that.

  8. btw they are having quite a colder winter in Iran this year…..apparently Allah is stopping Global Warming there.
    Time to convert I guess…but there is no going back right? Hmm better save the cobversion for the moment I or my family is threatened with death so I can avoid execution.
    Sure glad the the Jehovah’s Witnesses that come to my door dont work this way.

  9. True enough, but the sad part is with the tax dollars flowing in the ad money has never seemed to factor in to the crap spewed out by CBC.
    There is a common group of commercials that would run on CBC even if the only thing they put up on the screen was the old black and white test pattern from 1965.Which by the way might be an improvement to the current lineup.

  11. In addition to the Sonia Smits rule of thumb, basically anything filmed in Toronto with Canadian actors is crap. The Vancouver stuff is slightly better. The acting is always overacted and something to do with the lighting. Toronto TV crap has a feel to it.
    CBC will keep it on for two seasons, to enlighten us. I saw some CBC exec spouting how it wasn’t about ratings but about the buzz. A TV exec. Sigh.
    Alex had some laugh out loud stuff there. Stepehn, the bit about getting the Jewish writing staff is almost too true to be funny.
    Just 5 minutes was all it took. Be prepared for the barrage of news on high ratings. Then next week there will be nothing on the vacuum of ratings. Drive by viewers.
    By the way, there is some good stuf on Canadian TV. Corner Gas is a prime example. We make sure to watch it every week. Good is good. No need for the can-con crap.
    enough

  13. Skeptical: “I thought Oscar was a fictional character. Jacka**!!”
    That was my exact reaction LOL
    btw, Did anyone else think the minister on LMOTP looked a lot like Paul Martin?

  14. John Doyle, g&m, is bashing cdn viewers re comments on ACTRA strike. There are 21000 union members on strike. Mosque writer is taking questions today in g&m. Mine wont be answered-when do you plan to show a suicide bomber, beheading, or the sentencing of a girl to hang for killing a rapist. Joe W has a column in the Sun praising this show. Apparently muslims like it, so that will be the audience, and revenue source. Maybe they can be convinced islam is a religion of peace. I suggest all posters send a question to this woman, flood them with anti questions and maybe she will get the message, Christains are offended. If viewers in TO think this show is reality, it shows how ignorant they are of western canada. Typical TO cbc crap.

  15. Ya I need the CBC to tell me “I’m racist and muslims are not”.
    Again!
    I did catch a CNN interview were Carlos Roga (sp) looked visbly pissed off while he was being interviewed to sell this bomb.

  16. Little Kitman on the Prairie.
    Plot:
    Portray genital mutilating, suicide bombing, racist, bigoted, pedophile, supremacist, misogynist, head removing, limb chopping, medieval, fascist, haters as urbane, professional, comedic, tolerant Canadians.
    And portray local white westerners as troglodytes.

  17. (Mercer says) Rona Ambrose is bad but John Baird is worse
    Considering what they have in common you’d think Mercer would go easier on him…

  18. For the couple of people who are sorry they missed the premiere last night,CBC is re-running the show tonight.
    How about Burka’s Law.
    Disgusting drivel.

  20. Reginacon: Are you serious? LMOTP is being re-run tonight? If the CBC is re-running it, ‘must be to up the ratings. They’ll conflate them and say what a hit the show is with viewers. If that’s the case, I probably shouldn’t watch it this week.
    Kathy Shaidle; Thanks/no thanks for the info! Too bad.
    Stephen: About the need for Jewish writers, I hope that any Jewish writer approached to improve the LMOTP laughometre refuses outright. ‘Problem is, most Jewish television writers aren’t observant Jews and probably buy into the multiculti CBC stuff.

  22. I didn’t watch it. I won’t ever watch it. Most CBC is drivel, CBC sit-coms are worse than drivel, this one is apparently also cultural marxist multi-culti propoganda, and there is nothing comedic about Islam and its colonization of our cities.
    End of story.

  23. Where is/are the actual site(s)used for Mercy?
    What airport(s) did they use?
    I agree with 99% of you that the show sucked, but I am still interested to know where it is being filmed.

  24. Alex – good stuff.
    I checked it out for a few minutes (2 of which were commercials) and got steamed… our tax dollars are paying for this crap?

  25. They’ll also rename some existing shows.
    City Infidel Whores (Sex & the City)
    Suburban Infidel Whores (Desperate Housewives)
    Infidel Whores Talking (The View)
    Black Infidel Whore (Oprah)

    The first three episodes apparently were shot in Regina,although the only thing I recognized was the Novia Cafe,sort of a historic landmark.
    After that they move to Toronto to shoot more episodes and give us their enlightened prairie view from there.
    BATB
    Yes,some local radio guys were discussing the show this a.m. and said it is being re-run tonight.
    They thought the show had “potential”but I can’t say as I agree.
    It’s just tinny CBC garbage.

  30. Come on poster, get your questions in to the G&M. Still none have come in by 10.31 am Alberta time. At least none that can be posted.

  33. Those of you who donate to food hampers, soup kitchens etc. make sure you include pork products. I read there is a campaign in Europe to ban these items as Muslims and Jews don’t eat them. Coming soon, Pork free restaurants.

  36. Funny,there has been no post-premiere hype on cbc that I caught today..I’m sure if the feedback re show had been positive,all would be orgasmic!I for one can’t wait for the cbc to create an all-muslim all the time spin-off channel..maybe some porn thrown in for good measure?cbc seems to have an affinity for trash that they call “documentaries”

  37. I thought the line, “Hey, you don’t get to decide which country we deport you to”, was kind of funny.
    But eventually this program could be exported to New Zealand or South Africa or Romania etc. and this will lead to confusion if they’ve been dosed with other Canadian TV shows.
    Where’s the Indian? Where’s Joe Two Rivers, Pete Gawa, Jesse Jim? All small towns in Canada have one lonely Indian to stoically pass on wisdom or more recently Sergeant Davis Quinton, who can be as zany as any of the white folk in Dog River.

  38. I hear that Mercer will be renaming his own weekily TV show to LMOTP sometimes soon. His show will soon become the “Little Man on the Pulpit” show.
    aka, the Lieberal anti-American pulpit show.

  42. Regardless of any audience numbers, the show will go on.
    You’re Canadian, you’re on, quality and content optional.
    Taxpayers are stuck paying for this, and all the other unmarketable drivel. Strange, though, I don’t recall ever being asked if I wanted to fund the great Canadian demand for second rate productions.
    Really I’m just posting to thank everyone for the wonderful parodies of this politically correct apparatchik effort. LOL.
    Cheers!

  44. Finally, some questions for the author, and not all of them are supportive of the show. To read them you have to click on NOW, not the comments. Author says the characters will develop in future episodes. One questioner compares it to Beachcombers, and says he hopes to watch it for years. Bet those questions are coming from phoney liberals, aka jasons petition. Some have pretty muslim sounding names. Guess what, the talk show host will develop a thing for the matriach of the family.

  50. Watch for the guest appearance of Farah Fatwah Majors in next weeks episode of LMOTP.
    Its a laugh a minute when Farah,playing the role of a adulterous Iranian woman escapes to Saskatchewan to…. ready now… get stoned at the local country music festival.
    Cheech and Chong co-star as her husband and lover.
