Good Arab Comedy... Please !

I love Saturday night live, the Simpsons and Futurama and I sometimes wish we had similar shows running all year long in the Arab world.

We need some good comedy for a change, something that you can simply relax watching. I wish we he had our comedians collaborate in creating a funny Arab cartoon like the Simpsons for example. Block 13 was a good start, but it was too Kuwaiti oriented.

I have met quite a few people in Kuwait who are genuinely funny. They will say the funniest jokes / stories and make the most hilarious comments on anything.

Arabs from all nations have their share of comedians, but most of them have not been in a position to use their comedy professionally. We need to laugh and loosen up a bit, cause that will most probably ease our melancholic lives.

I feel Arab blogs should aim for creating networks of people with common abilities and capabilities and brainstorm to create something unique such as an Arab comedy blog. Such platform may be used to connect the funny Arabs to collaborate in creating a new hit and open new doors for so many others from promoters to financiers.

Blogs in our part of the world should aim for the next step and become a platform for new ideas and a workbench for innovation.

Just a suggestion.....
