Four grandmothers who live in the old tradition gets a dose of modern society in the Arab world (and moreso Dubai as an example of "modern"): Umm Alawi, the yellow one, Umm Khammas, the green one, Umm Saeed, the red one, and Umm Saloom, the blue one.
Plenty of one-liner satire that hits the right notes on the reality of the modernism and its effects on the old Arab culture, from leaving the grandma to a nursing home, to maid-to-mother conflicts, to recession issues and the way people will cheat their way out, to hiring the wrong teachers for the prestigious Arab school, to as much as 'misunderstandings' in Arabic conversations (I have to give Umm Khammas a credit for that one as she always get that way). All pushed up in 15 minutes of one episode.
The only difficulty I had was all of these satires were really pushed in one 15-minute episode that you really have to catch up all the satire as much as possible or else you wouldn't get the enjoyable part of the whole series execution. But if you're fast enough to 'absorb' all of the one-liners you'll laugh out loud with this series.
This was made in production in Sparky Animation studios in Singapore. I have a friend who works in there. Might as well ask him if he did some works on this series run.
