I personally saw many negatives in the series, the most important being
the culturally and religiously apologetic (my own opinion) stances
of several of the guests. But the important thing was that the guests
were Arabs, not "experts" talking about Arabs. Whatever its shortcomings,
the series was the best American media have produced so far about
Arabs. Please take this opportunity to support whatever positive
developments occur in an institution most Arabs deem to be biased
against them.
