Creator: Zarqa Nawazdue to the WGA's strike, I had to stop watching my usual series and I started with this one: as it's Canadian it shouldn't be affected.
it was a casuality that I found an episode, even though my friend Victor already showed me a video about it months ago.
In Canada the second season is already on air, even though the show is new (it started in January). this states the success that this show had.

the title is a quote from the "Little House on the Prairie", but there is no other link to this show.
this serie is about the muslim community in a small town, Mercy, in Canada.
the episodes are 20 minutes long, that's why the characters are more like caricature. we have the 2 "extremists" (not in a violent way), those who are not so strictly believers, there is the mixed married couple, the feminist, the rebels... the wicked is represented by a "western" radio presenter that resembles the way the media increase the hatred between cultures, in this case not so successfully. on the opposite side there are the imam and the anglican priest, who give each other suggestions about how to deal with their communities.
this muslim community tries to find its place in this town, trying to keep its own tradition and on the same time trying to integrate with the town costumes.
it's a really nice and light example of what integration may be for all the cultures, and it offers a really good humour.
