Last week saw the premiere of the much-talked about new CBC sitcom Little Mosque on the Prairie (which has received media attention throughout the world; naturally, like any Californian, I found out about it through an Australian radio program). In case you have not picked up on it yet, the show is basically a satirical look on the Canadian Muslim community.
Anyways, the show was a bit of a smash hit despite mixed reviews, drawing in 2.1 million viewers and setting a new record for the CBC, drawing the network's largest audience in a decade. It is worth noting that a show with an audience more than a million is considered to be a "runaway hit." The rerun of the premiere episode the following night drew 887,000.
I'm about halfway in, and half of the show I have seen was brilliant, with the other half being of varying quality.
