Block 13

Block 13

Block 13 (Arabic: قطعة 13‎) is a Kuwaiti animated television series that serves as the Arabic adaptation of the popular American adult animated television series South Park. It was created by Sami Al-Khars and aired on Kuwait TV in 2000, running until 2003. It is the first animated TV series to be produced in the Persian Gulf region. The series follows Hammoud, Azzouz, Saloom, Abboud and his sister Farooha, who all often go on wacky and strange misadventures. Similar to South Park in the United States, the series dealt with many issues that concerned the Kuwaiti population in a smooth and humorous way but avoided talking about potentially offensive subjects such as sexuality or political issues. Unlike South Park, which was adult-oriented, this show is meant for families and children of all ages.
