Baha'i couple

There are a Baha'i couple who are involved with this either as a producer or creator - who are they?

Who cares? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.225.76.207 (talk) 17:27, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Episode List

Some one should write an episode list. (unsigned comment by User:Little Spike)

That's a great idea, LS. Thanks for volunteering. Ground Zero | t 22:40, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Okay I will start it, but not tonight.

Merge it with this, until it gets bigger? RIII 01:14, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Any way...

Is there any way for those who don't have CBC to watch this beyond the first four episodes that are on YouTube? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.33.241.190 (talk) 02:54, 12 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

All of the episodes are on youtube, search LMOTP ....

It hasn't been picked up yet by others.... RIII 01:18, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

someone named Mydienmusic has uploaded them, they usually go up every Thursday after the show airs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.189.135.87 (talk) 19:17, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

better this article

We need to make this article beter. Richardkselby 13:58, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

What about including Amaar's parents - they do give a different view of what it means to being Muslim than even Amaar and Rayyan. The father's love of scotch, their attitude towards the hijab, and their incessant need for grandchildren. BTW - I think that the Mayor represents "temptation" in the series - both in her own life and in Sarah's - and I doubt that she was any different when she (and Sarah) were younger (since they seem to know each other from school). 00:05, 15 November 2008 (UTC)24.77.37.31 (talk)

That's true, but his parents are also pretty minor characters who appear in maybe two or three episodes per year at most. It's worth mentioning, but probably more as a brief addition in Amaar's bio blurb than their own. Bearcat (talk) 00:43, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Little Mosque Wikiproject

Yeah, the title says itself. . . anyone favor one???? Richardkselby 00:36, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Umm, this article in itself is just a stub, unless your planing a ~~single~~ three article+ 1 category wikiproject (which is quite pointless), I don't think you'll be able to get anything else to meet notability guidelines. Bawolff 05:23, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How do we fix that?

Zaib Shaikh

THere is now a Zaib Shaikh article. Please help expand it. Ground Zero | t 04:42, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I found his myspace

Propose External Link: Rayyan Fashion

I have just started a blog which explains to people how to copy the clothing that the character Rayyan Hamoudi wears in the show. Would it be ok and be acceptable under wikipedia regulations for me to add this as an external link? If you would like to look at it before you give your opinion, my blog is http://hijabchique.blogspot.com. Celeritassquared 05:54, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Corner Gas and Little Mosque On The Prairie

I read in this article that Corner Gas (my favourite show) and Little Mosque On The Prairie are rivals. May I ask how? I don't see the rivalry.... and in my opinion, it seems that the two shows seem to get along well, of course except for the fact that LMOTP stole two of CG's writers.

Loghead1 23:35, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They are shows that belong to rival Canadian networks and thus sometimes take jabs at each other, although always playfully. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.24.141.36 (talk) 03:04, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Centralized TV Episode Discussion

Over the past months, TV episodes have been redirected by (to name a couple) TTN, Eusebeus and others. No centralized discussion has taken place, so I'm asking everyone who has been involved in this issue to voice their opinions here in this centralized spot, be they pro or anti. Discussion is here [1]. Even if you have not, other opinions are needed because this issue is affecting all TV episodes in Wikipedia. --Maniwar (talk) 03:48, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can we have more quotes on wikiquote for this??? there is only quotes for the first season. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.24.78.139 (talk) 01:57, 20 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Altar Boy Gang

I noticed that certain Catholic groups were upset about CBC's poor coverage of Christian and/or Catholic socio-cultural issues in comparison with Little Mosque on the Prairie, especially because of its alternative show Altar Boy Gang, which involved abused and abusive altar servers. This could perhaps be mentioned in the article as part of the controversies section. [2] ADM (talk) 21:19, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reception

Is this bit really proper for an Encyclopedia?

"Unusual for a Canadian television series,"

It seems more like a commentary rather than fact to me.

SeanJA (talk) 23:09, 2 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Carlo Rota

He stopped appearing part way into Season 4, and has yet to appear in Season 5. Has he left the show?

207.6.167.84 (talk) 04:19, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not permanently, no; due to other commitments, he was dropped to "recurring" status. According to the plot synopses he will be back later this season. Bearcat (talk) 01:57, 6 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Critical reception

All the reception is about # of viewers for the first couple eps- how do critics rate this show? --208.38.59.163 (talk) 16:43, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wikileaks controversy

According to this BBC report, Can Muslim sitcom from Canada prove popular elsewhere?, our little programme was the subject of American diplomatic cables regarding its "anti-American" content. Varlaam (talk) 02:54, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Guest actors who have appeared on the show..."

Is is possible to specify which episodes these guest actors appear in? Masalai (talk) 07:51, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article format in question

This doesn’t read like a Wikipedia article, but instead like an industry sell sheet for the series. For example the overly lengthy character descriptions describe story arcs that belong in episode descriptions instead.

I suggest a complete overhaul. Is there anyone else who would like to work on this too? Denstat (talk) 14:17, 31 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
