What happens

Tash ma Tash (Arabic: طاش ما طاش, lit. 'No Big Deal') was a popular Saudi Arabian satirical comedy that ran for 19 seasons and is considered one of the most successful television works in Saudi Arabia and the Arab world. The show followed a sketch comedy format. It aired on the Saudi state-owned television channel Saudi 1 for 13 seasons, but in 2005 it was bought by MBC. New episodes ran exclusively during Ramadan right after sunset. The United States Library of Congress requested some parts of the work be placed in the library's archive. The idea of the series started through the artists Abdullah Al Sadhan and Nasser Al Qasabi, and directed by Amer Al Hamoud. After the first two seasons, the trio separated to be the duo Abdullah Al Sadhan and Nasser Al Qasabi, in cooperation with the director Abdul Khaleq Alghanem. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
