That's My Bush! is an American sitcom that aired on Comedy Central from April 4 to May 23, 2001.[1] The show was created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, best known for creating South Park.
Despite the political overtones, the show itself was a broad lampoon of American sitcoms, including lame jokes, a laugh track, and stock characters such as klutzy bimbo secretary Princess (Kristen Miller), know-it-all maid Maggie (Marcia Wallace), and supposedly helpful "wacky" next door neighbor Larry (John D'Aquino).
The series was conceived in the wake of the 2000 presidential election, between Bush and Al Gore. Parker and Stone were sure that Gore would win the election, and tentatively titled the show Everybody Loves Al. However, due to the controversy regarding the election's outcome, the series was pushed back. Instead, the show was then plotted around Bush at the workplace.[2]
The show received positive reviews, with The New York Times commenting, "That's My Bush! is a satire of hero worship itself; it is the anti-West Wing and the first true post-Clinton comedy. [...] This politically astute criticism is embedded in so much hysterical humor that the series never seems weighty.
Remember video stores? No? Well...we do, and we piled up some big late fees, so we're glad they're dead. In their place, we have Netflix and Hulu and Amazon Prime. On Massive Late Fee we talk about all the shows and movies that the streaming services have to offer. Plus, we laugh a lot. Come laugh with us!
