IRAQI TV UNVEILS FALL LINEUP
By Stockton
In a sign that things are getting better in Iraq, the Iraqi Television Network unveiled its upcoming fall schedule. The schedule is well-rounded and includes not only dramas and comedies, but a smattering of "reality" based shows that are so popular in the United States. Some of the highlights include:
A Jew in the Family
What happens when the daughter of Fundamentalist Cleric Akhmed Barzib marries Ira Goldberg, a young jew from Brooklyn, New York and the young couple has to move in with her family? Zany antics ensue as Akhmed splits his time between the Mosque and attempting to have his unemployed son-in-law assassinated.
Guess Who's the Infidel
Ten randomly selected Iraqi's live together for ten weeks. Each week they undergo a series of challenges. The winner gets immunity, the loser is hacked to death with machetes. But, one of them is a Christian and the ultimate winner has to guess which one is the infidel.
Will you be able to guess the Infidel?
Dude, Where's My Camel
In this "coming of age" teen comedy, two friends go on a continuous search for their stolen camel. Whacky situations are this comedy's weekly fare, as they buddies exact revenge upon various people they mistakenly believe stole their camel.
Will Jamal and Abdul find their camel? Tune in.
When Good Suicide Bombings Go Bad
A camera crew follows a group of four young suicide bombers as they prepare to detonate themselves in front of police stations. Improper mixing of explosive materials and defective detonation equipment may make this a short-lived show.
