    Is it just me, or does this show try to laugh with the president instead of at him? Either way, we need criticism for a shameful Bush white house. A junior highschooler's idea of politcal humor is not the way to do it.

    In response to those conservative dumbasses that were defending the Godawful Fox Comedy hour: It's not because it wasn't "liberal" that it was horrible. It's not funny. Here is a show that is "liberal" and is just as bad. For the record, I'm a liberal and I think George Bush is by far the worst disaster to hapen to this country. Doesn't make this show not suck.

    This has to be Comedy Central's ninth or tenth bomb in a row. I think the last time Comedy Central really had something great that wasn't a spin-off of another show (Colbert) was Chappelle's Show. It's no Mind of Mencia but it still deserves a zero.

    It is kind of sad, actually. it is so easy to make fun of the president (see Daily Show/Colbert Report), but this show fails at doing so. Their juvenile humor isn't funny or sophisticated. Think of a combination of the worst aspects of South Park and The Daily Show, and you get this: a bunch of crap that the producers hope will be popular because of the unpopularity of the president.

    The show is hilarious. It's witty. satirical. Sharp. The Bush Administration is made of nothing but stubborn, simple minded children, posing as adults. Granted, the shelf life of this show will probably only last a few episodes, but, for any out there who follow politics at all, the show is brilliant in many regards.

    The beauty of this show is that the games played on this show are out of humor. However, what is funny is that similar games are played in Washington daily, and are convertible with ease to small children in satire. The first episode was tough to swallow, but since it gets better and better once your wrap your mind around it. It's worth the 30 minute investment weekly.

    This show is pretty funny if you disregard the failed satire and take it for what it is...a series of often funny fart jokes. Would have worked better paired with the absurdist humor of adult swim rather than the pseudo-sophisticated audience of the daily show

    To make light of bush, or to make his seem like an idiot ( a la "where's my bush") is what the Republicans want. If we laugh at his goofy escapades, then we forget about the horrible things the man has done. I'm still waiting for the "Hitler and pals" comedy hour.

One thing we have in common with you is that we don't find this show funny either. It isn't enough for the show to try to appeal to our politics - it has to actually been funny, too. I've had better laughs watching FOX news.

    I watched 3 episodes of Lil' Bush. Each time, trying to find at least something funny in the show. I failed. Making a T.V show that made fun of Bush was a good idea, but to execute it so poorly, was truly a disappointment. Keep it to Jon Stewart to make fun of Bush. This show does not even deserve to be on television, let alone Comedy Central.

The other 15% are shown on the commercials, which make it look like a funny show.

    This show is a perfect blend of biting sarcasm and outrageous hilarity. It is easy to poke fun at the Bush family. But to do so with wit and wisdom takes talent. Those that negatively rank this show I wonder if they are part of the TEA Party American hating that goes on today. And if this show was Lil' Obama they would say it is the great show ever. Because Fox News told them so.
