TV show description:

As this comedic series begins, a small Muslim community in the fictional prairie town of Mercy, Saskatchewan (population 14,000) finally gets its own mosque. The only problem is that it's in a church and some of the local residents become irrationally alarmed.

The mosque's new Imam, Amaar Rashid (Zaib Shaikh), arrives from the big city to smooth things over. Unfortunately, his easy charm and progressive ways do little to convince the locals that Muslims aren't simply a bunch of terrorists.

Zaib Shaikh and Sitara Hewitt, better known to "Little Mosque on the Prairie" fans as their alter egos Amaar Rashid and Rayyan Hamoudi, are reminiscing about their influential little show with a "fond sadness." Even after six seasons, both still seem awestruck by the incredible reception the show has had around the world, racking up humanitarian awards, critical accolades and even an induction into the Museum of Radio and Television in New York City.

The groundbreaking CBC comedy is winding down in its sixth and last season, with the series finale set to air on Monday, April 2. The show has attracted a loyal fan base over the years, both in Canada and beyond. In fact, "Little Mosque" now airs in 83 countries around the world. Not bad for a little show from Canada's public broadcaster.

Huffington Post TV Canada sat down with Shaikh and Hewitt to look back on the series...

Although CBC, a Canadian public TV network, didn't make any announcement, the fifth season of Little Mosque on the Prairie, a sitcom, begins production today in Ontario.

This show follows Amaar Rashid (Zaib Shaikh), a young and "liberal" Muslim imam from Toronto. He decides to go live in a small town of the Canadian Prairies (hello stereotypes!) where a small Muslim community coexists with "white" (if you know what I mean) people. Besides, it appears that the town's mayor (Debra McGrath) and one of her councillors (Sheila McCarthy), are so in favour of Canada's multiculturalism policy, which isn't an immigration policy in case you're too dumb to know.

The show also stars Carlo Rota, Sitara Hewitt, Brandon Firla, Neil Crone, Stephen Lobo and Arlene Duncan.

Finally, it appears that Little Mosque on the Prairie will premiere on CBC this fall.

They've never met, but "Diet Tribe"'s hunky trainer Jessie Pavelka and Jake Pavelka, the hot new "Bachelor," are distant cousins. "My dad explained it to me," Jessie tells Et, but also admits he doesn't quite remember how the family tree grows. "My dad met his dad, but I never knew him growing up. I went to college in the same town where he grew up, but I have never spoken to him." Even so, Jessie says he thinks it is great that Jake is going to be "The Bachelor." "Hopefully, he does a good job and finds love," says Jessie, who is a newlywed himself. He and Canadian actress Sitara Hewitt, who stars on the CBC TV series, "Little Mosque on the Prairie," tied the knot on Sept. 18. "We met through a mutual friend," he says. "It is pretty amazing." Jessie moved to Hollywood with the hope of becoming an actor.
