That's My Bush!

The first time I saw this show, I thought it was terrible. And it is. But you have to understand the underlying genius behind this show for you to 'get it'. Stone and parker are not trying to make a respectable show here, hell, they arent even making a decent show. In fact, this isnt really a show at all. I mean, it has plotlines and scripts and cameras and stuff, but the whole reason why this show exists is to make fun of every other stupid sitcom, which is why its so friggin lame. Think about it, its only just began and they have the wacky neighbor, the special guest star (Charlton Heston), the very special episodes (i.e. the death penalty morality lesson). They could have hitler join the cast, and it wouldn't end. That's how good this sitcom spoof is!

Basically what I'm trying to say is this show is so absolutely god awful, that its entertaining, and its so god awful because its based on the cliche's of other sitcom's! get it? this show is just one, huge joke. But a good joke.

I finally watched these episodes in 2008 and I had to continually go back and verify when they were actually produced. They are absolutely scary in that they made spot on fun of what would be the future. Either Parker and Stone lived in Texas and witnessed the idiocy of Gov Bush or they are those weird, eerie people that pay attention to things. Boo, scary! Bush's frat bros invading the White House dressed as Arabs wielding rifles? Bush 'accidentally' executing someone? (No, wait. He did sort of do that as gov.) This may have seemed a failure as a sitcom at the time, but must now be considered as brilliant, if spooky, prescience.

This show does tackle social issues. Contrary to popular opinion TMB addresses issues such as abortion, euthanasia,SDI and the environment just to name a few. The crazy antics of the TMB whitehouse are really not that outlandish if you consider the last eight years under slick willie.

This show is well written, well acted and just damn funny for republicans and democrats alike.

If you are not into toilet humor, slapstick, and political parody this show is not for you. Otherwise enjoy!

Even though I have only seen one episode, I can already tell this is a new smash show. Trey Parker and Matt Stone, who created one of the finest and funniest shows in history, South Park, bring a show that principally makes fun of 2 things- 1 (of course), George W. Bush, the imbecilic guy who lives at 1600; 2, TV shows. The show takes from other shows (like Married With Children, That's My Bob, etc) and the more you get the joke, the more you'll like this show. Kudos to the two creators, executive producers, co-writers Matt and Trey and also star Timothy Bottoms for presenting such a instant classic. By the way, first episode has laughs scattered about, but the aborted fetus (voiced by Parker I think due to the Cartman likeness of the voice) steals the episode, and hopefully it won't be it's last episode.

Wow. Let's make this president likable by giving him his own show where we can show how sweet wholesome and goshdarn loveable he is!

WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP.

The jokes, far from being cutting edge as most South Park fans were anticipating, were formulaic. The laughter had to be canned, no one could have found those lame jokes funny. The acting was first rate. The material was another matter entirely.

I would give this series 1/2* out of a possible *****
