TLC's 'All-American Muslim' Cast Faces the Critics

The cast of TLC's All-AmericanMuslim addressed the TV press Friday with a singular message: We're just like you.our editor recommendsTLC's 'All-American Muslim': More Educational Than the Cast Will AdmitTLC Orders 'All-American Muslim' Series The series, set to premiere in November, is designed to bring viewers inside a Dearborn, Mich. community which is home to the largest mosque in the United States. The cameras will chronicle the everyday lives of five diverse Muslim-American families, focusing on their customs, celebrations, conflicts and misconceptions. The decision -- strategy, even -- of the Discovery-owned cable channel to once again deep dive into an unfamiliar and potentially controversial subculture as it did with polygamy-focused Sister Wives has proved a winning one, with TLC becoming the No. 2 cable net among its core women 18 to 49 demo last month. Complete TCA Summer 2011 Coverage "People have been waiting 10-plus years to show the world that we're just like you," says Muslim cast member Shadia Amen-McDermott.Adds Suehaila Amen of the community's response to the cameras invited in to document the faith and its people, "They love the fact that they're given the opportunity ... They feel like they're misrepresented." If this group has any real trepidation about the reactions inside or outside of the Muslim culture, it isn't letting on. It's a stance similar to the one taken by theWivescast, who appeared before the Television Critics Association audience a year earlier. "We knew there were risks but we feel that the story, for the sake of our entire family, is an important one to tell," Janelle, one of Kody Brown's three wives, told the press at the time. Like her fellow cast members, she was excited about the opportunity to inform viewers about the untraditional lifestyle on what became a top-performing show. Like that one, the Muslim cast is insistent that this show wouldn't be political in any way, reiterating instead the importance of having a series that can showcase a culture that many know little about and often judge."People fear what they don't know," says the series' Mike Jaafar. "This show is based on everyday Americans, which we are. I'm not from Mars." Adds Amen, "This isn't about politics. It's about the joys of celebrations, weddings, the birth of a child, momentous moments in life that people can relate to."

Darabont walks away from The Walking Dead

 The Walking Dead, the first season of which got rave reviews, won multiple awards, and built up a huge following here and Stateside, will now be without helmer Frank Darabont, the man who adapted it for TV.Starring Andrew Lincoln, The Walking Dead is based on the comic book series by Image Comics. Series 2 is currently in production, and is till due to premiere on 16th October this year. As yet there's no official announcement as to why the writer/director has decided to leave the show.Darabont recently took on Glen Marazza, former scribe/producer on the excellent FX series The Shield (an episode of which Frank directed) as his second in command, so there’s a good pair of hands to possibly take the reins.This news may suggest that Darabont, whose last feature was the classic 2007 horror The Mist will be returning to the big screen. For anyone who saw that film the news may be met with some excitement along with disappointment.There is a possibility the director will remain involved in the series in some capacity, and rumours abound that the gruelling schedule of producing a series was too much for him.However, in a Q and A with Deadline last month Darabont said: "In TV, you have to get ideas across in a more economical way, but the process is fundamentally the same (as features), just accelerated. There’s no time for second guessing. The wheels are in constant motion. I love that about television. If I’d known how much fun it was, I’d have done it years ago."Considering the above quote, and that at Comic-Con he was excitedly talking about the show that he spent so much time and effort bringing to life, the news really does come as an unwelcome surprise.
