Imagine my disorientation the day I flew home to California for Christmas and found my parents watching "Arab Labor," my most-loved sitcom (and, I thought, best-kept secret) from Israel.

Alas, the show was too good to hide from America for long. LinkTV, an indie satellite network with a heavy focus on the Middle East, picked up the series back in 2008, only a year after its Israeli premiere, and started airing it for Dish and DirecTV subscribers (aka, my parents).

And now its U.S. audience is going proletariat. Starting next month, the five-and-a-half million households in Southern and Central California with basic digital cable will be able to watch Israel's best sitcom — from Episode One of Season One through to the end of Season Four — on KCETLink, the new merger between KCET and LinkTV.
