Wiki.
Block 13 (Arabic: قطعة 13, romanized: qiteat ṯālatha 'ash) is a Kuwaiti animated television series that serves as the Arabic adaptation of the popular American animated sitcom South Park. It was created and directed by Nawaf Salem Al-Shammari and aired on Kuwaiti TV on the second half of Ramadan, which is aired on December 12, 2000, running until December 5th, 2002. It was the first animated TV series to be produced in the Arab Gulf states. It re-aired on Kuwait TV for 2020's Ramadan, and continues to be re-run in the following Ramadans.
The series follows Hammoud, Azzouz, Saloom, Honey, Abboud, and his little sister Farooha, who all often go on wacky and unordinary misadventures. Similar to South Park in the United States, the series dealt with many issues that concerned the Middle East population but in a way that could be less offensive and more family-friendly. Unlike South Park, which is adult-oriented, Block 13 was meant for families and children of all ages.
