What happens

Fawazeer Ramadan (Egyptian Arabic: فوازير رمضان, alternately romanized as Fawazir) was an Egyptian radio and television show that was broadcast throughout the month of Ramadan. The show was most successful from 1975 to 1995, and it featured riddles, acting scenes and elaborately choreographed dance routines. Viewers could solve the riddles at the end of the month to win prizes. The show was discontinued with the advent of larger selections of programming choices through services such as satellite television. There was also a feeling among conservatives that the program featured too much sensuality and dancing. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
