Summaries

A show that follows the children of a tiny Kuwait street and their daily shenanigans.

Block 13 follows five young boys: Abboud, a chubby boy who dislikes his sister, Azzouz, a good-hearted but slightly strange boy, Hammoud, a handsome teacher's pet, and finally Saloom, an impoverished child that sells bubble gum for money. The show follows the boys as they deal with all sorts of trouble, from Abboud's little sister, Farooha, to their insane teachers to their hilarious school classes. On Block 13, nothing is normal, and everyday is fun.—Alexandria

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 but in a way that could not be potentially offensive and more family-friendly. Unlike South Park, which was adult-oriented, this show is meant for families and children of all ages.—Wikipedia
