Think a tomorrow

Think about it: back in the 80s Michael Jackson's Thriller had millions of kids singing along with Michael "now is the time for you and me to cuddle close together, yeah."

*shudder*

A weekend of food, fun, nookie, housework, skating, shopping. Catching up on sleep. Noice. Today I'm in the office (*gasp*), prepping for an early meeting tomorrow morning and some reports due at the end of the month. Lately I've been keen to come into work, c'est bizarre ça, non?. But I'll be gone before 4, since tonight I start a new cycle of skating lessons: I've gradumanated from intermediate to intermediate/advanced.

Tomorrow we've got some pretty innovative TV starting here in Canadovia: a show called Little Mosque on the Prairie. It's a comedy about the experience of Muslims in a small Saskatchewan town. I *love* the idea of it; I hope it's even 50% of what it could be. Regardless, I think it's pretty awesome that such a show could make it on air...and wonder where else in the Western world it might.

As of next week, Little Mosque will air on Mondays, which should effectively kill it, at least for me. It will be up against 24. Couldn't the CBC leave Tuesdays at 8:30? They could move 22 Minutes back to Fridays after Air Farce. Monday is already jammed - Prison Break, 24 and Heroes - talk about a death wish for any other show...

I have the "time zone bump" option on my cable, so I'll be watching it either at 5 or 6, depending on my schedule that day.

But I don't watch many shows regularly, so conflicts almost never come up.

Unfortunately, LMotP looks like it's been cursed with bad actors. Bring back Four on the Floor! Bring back Kids in the Hall!!! Bring back SCTV!!! :)

Apparently, Little Mosque has been getting quite a bit of press in the U.S., as well as in Canada. There was even an interview with the lead on The Hour tonight, and some discussion about it. The commercials certainly look good... and really, how much more "Canadian" can you get?

I missed my George Stromporn The Hour tonight...darn!

Indeed! And I hadn't realized the woman who produced this is the documentarian whose doco on women and mosques in Canada was shown widely on Rough Cuts last year.
