Bab al Hara باب الحارة (The Neighborhood's Gate) is a very popular show in the Arabic world. The setting is a neighborhood حارة in Damascus during the beginning of the French control of Syria at then end of the Ottoman rule . It's in the Syrian dialect and to me the way they speak sounds really funny. They often lengthen the last word of their sentences. Syrian is the only dialect I've noticed that does this. They don't even do it in Lebanon right next door to Syria. You can see examples in this clip from the show.
At 00:05 and 00:14 listen to how he says حارة. And at 00:23 how he says ابو غالب. It basically sounds like he's saying ابو غالييييب. At 01:35 is also a good example. Listen to كذاب. And the whole conversation starting at 01:37 is full of it. Anyway, you get the idea. Not every Syrian does this but quite a lot do, so if you ever are wondering where a person is from, if they're lengthening their words then it's a safe bet that they are Syrian.
Here's the theme song from the show. I really like it.

يا اهل المــــــــــــروة والعزة و الكرامــــــــــة
والطيبة والنـــــــــخوة و الشرف و الشهامــة
ننسى الايام الصعبــة والمحبة نلم جراحنــا
والدنيا بتضحك لـــمــا نضحك و نزين افراحنا
عطره و بحره و لارنجي احلى الاســــــامي
زينة الحارة فرجــــــة للياسمين الشامـي
