CBC-TV'S GROUND-BREAKING COMEDY SERIES LITTLE MOSQUE ON THE PRAIRIE IN HDTV

Welcome to Mercy, small town Canada with a little Muslim twist! LITTLE MOSQUE ON THE PRAIRIE, an unabashedly comedic look at a small Muslim community living side by side the residents of a little prairie town, repeats Tuesdays, at 8: 30 p.m. ET. on CBC Television, following The Rick Mercer Report.

This highly entertaining, witty comedy leaps into uncharted waters by openly addressing Muslim and Canadian stereotypes for the first time on Canadian television. The story unfolds in the fictional community of Mercy, as the town tries to cope with the little mosque that recently opened its doors inside the local Anglican parish hall. At its heart, LITTLE MOSQUE ON THE PRAIRIE is a humorous look at relationships, family, love, the generation gap and balancing Muslim beliefs and traditions in a prairie setting.
