But dont all writers get paid after they write a good book not before? Mouse: If someone started to sponsor writers I bet people would help out definitley financially of course.

I didnt realy care if it was funny or not or if the plot was bad. Same thing with LMP and of course different people have different tastes. I havnt watched LMP after the first 3 or 4 episodes maybe I tune back and see Actually my intentions to start watching AiA was so I could see the Muslim and his character and actions.

As ridiculous as LMP is, there was at least one decent episode (in the new season) where the girl finally chooses to wear hijaab. I was actually surprised at how, for once, they addressed a pertinent issue in a correct way. As for Aliens in America, like I said, I found the plot to be ridiculous, the characterization obnoxious, and the jokes lame. I find it too over-the-top... LMP's quieter humour (far more successful in the second season than the first - I think they've got new writers or something) suits me better. “I think its better than little mosque on the prairie because there arnt any morals or anything in that one.”
