    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.

    This show is tastless and on is more suitable for a childrens network the jokes could only be perceived as funny by few and doesnt deserve to be on a network called comedy central

    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.

    This show is pointless it shows false things about the president and it is clear that the creators ran out of show ideas because they only made 3 episodes that clearly show pointless stories about underwear, and that it is wrong to be gay. I think America gets it, bush is not well liked, but you don

    I would MUCH rather have seen "That's My Bush!" come back to Comedy Central than have this dreck thrust upon me. Why is this bizarre, "Muppet Babies meets politics" show even necessary when we have actual SMART satire from The Daily Show and Colbert Report? Get rid of this show, quick.

    It's easy to make fun of the Bush administration, but this show fails to do so with any sense of intelligence.

    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.

    Marcus A wrote, "this show isn't funny to anyone who isn't a hippie." Well, Marcus, I'm a hippy and most of my friends are hippies. 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.

    im an independant and this show makes me feel a strong dislike for the democratic writers and producers that write this crap. This is not satire this is stupid, i tried to get through the show but as soon as they had cheney suck blood out of a chicken i got pissed and turned it off.

    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.

    Show is simply horrible. The writers have plainly never crafted jokes before because this is easily the worst example of comidy I've ever seen. How the writers of this show could mess up all the comidy gold this trainwreck of a president has become is beyond me. First this now American body shop...I prefered it when we just got 8 hours of SNL reruns from comidy central (MADTV sucks).

    You have to really hate Bush, have no concept of common sense, and a grossly distorted perception of humor to find this show very amusing.

    When I first saw commercials for this show, it looked pretty funny. But when I watched it I could barely get through one episode. 85% of the jokes aren't funny. The other 15% are shown on the commercials, which make it look like a funny show. I hate George Bush and I think he's the worst thing that's happened to this country, but that doesn't make this show funny.

    Lil' Bush is awful...While it's good they finally brought back a show to show how idiotic Bush really is, I would have much preferred them bring back "That's My Bush" which actually had humor above that of a 5 year old.

    I expected this show to be way better than it was. It's so easy to make fun of George Bush, they could have done a much better job. The sexual jokes about Barbara Bush were really painful to watch and just really gross. The only good part about the episode was the joke 'be nice to your brother, you might need him to help you rig an election someday'

    Juvenile in a bad way, lame in every way. As someone who likes potshots at politicians, especially at Shrub, this packs absolutely no punch and deeply reeks of "been there, done that." A tremendous waste of time.

    Contrary to what Marcus A said, I don't think hippies stoned out of their minds would even find this funny. They would probably space out and stare at the wall or pass out for about 10 minutes.

    Parody or satire requires that you portray some truthful facts in a humorous way. This show just makes up disgusting things that make no sense and certainly aren't funny.

    The mildly amusing animated series would have packed more of a punch back when Americans were still a little shocked about Bush's seeming arrested development, but these days it comes off as merely facile.
