MTV Arabia? Score.


In one of the filler ads, a cartoon woman in an abaya strolls past a spice-seller. Her perfume wafts over him. Then we go back to the World Chart Show, where Soulja Boy places first. We also have FOX Series, Fashion TV and a channel that shows only movies with sappy endings. Someone must fall out of a boat and the girl must cry. In Saudi we called these Hallmark movies, because they played on the Hallmark Channel. 

Best of all, though, are the channels named after countries:

Bahrain
Oman
Yemen
Jordan
Sudan

Alaina and I agree that Channel Sudan has the most unique content. Arabic is still gibberish to me, but I imagine the husband was praising his wife's cooking. Wrapped neatly a green head-covering garment, the wife smiled and rocked back and forth, herself overjoyed by domestic bliss.
