"One's of these days Laura am gonna puch you in the face , in the stomach and in the face again"

George Bush is moving up to the white house

This short live sitcom is from the deranged mind behind Southpark Matt Stone and Trey Parkey , has for all the projects they undertake between Southpark , That's my Bush was a hard sale and probably a project no one wanted to takle except for these two .This silly sitcom kinda based on George Bush aired almost at the start of is first term has president It only lasted 8 episodes the poor ratings werent helping but i do think it was slowly getting a fan based but then 9/11 happen , and i think that destroyed it , I like to think that if it would of been created during is second term it would of had a chance to a least last 2 to 4 seasons and would of found is niche like they did with Southpark

That's my bush is a political satire that takcles subjestc such has death penalty , assisted suicide , abortion laws , the fight on drugs ect... and is also a satire on slight satire on the bush admistration and idiotic people in general . It has a touch of the signature Stone and Parker kind of Southpark humor and there unique way of poking fun of society and pop culture but it's way different dho

it's a 1/3 political satire , 1/3 idiotic people satire and 1/3 satire on the hole sitcom universe and history , and in my opinion it's this part thats the strongest and most clever of the show . It kinda pokes fun and pays hommage at the hole sitcom genre with silly deja vu sitcom premise like Bush having to dinner entertain is wife when he has a political important meeting at the same time , Bush stealing cable , a meddling mother in law that smother her boy and hate his wife , having an episode were people are stuck together in small spaces ect..... some of the characters are also straight out of a known sitcom , to the pessimist and snappy maid/buttler to the well liked but kinda noisy slick neighbor to the ditzy secretary ect.... and even some of the dialogue are clever come on this one '' One of these days Laura am gonna punch you in the face '' is such a clever jab at The honeymooners

Here are my top 3 episodes

1-An aborted dinner date : Goerge has doobled book is day with a dinner date with his wife and a dinner with the leaders of Pro-life and Pro-choice

2-The first Lady's Persqueeter : George has got to put to sleep his wife beloved old alley cat but doesnt know how to tell his wife , laura thinks George is distant because she is getting old and has missunderstood a conversation she eard and thinks there a problkem with her freshness down there

3- Mom E D.E.A arrest : meddling Barbara Bush is here to take over her daughters millionth drug offenders arrest convention meanwhile George has pop a E pill thinking it was aspirin and tries to turn the convention in a rave

has for features theres only a Parker and Stone comentary on the episodes , havent watch them yet , but beeing a bit familiar with their comentary am sure some are quite funny

I haven't thought of this show since its' inception in 2001. I'm surprised it even got a DVD release, as most shows which fail that quickly don't get them. And it's "would've," not "would of."

I completly understand were you 2 are coming from but you have to keep in mind that it is form Southpark creator's , like i siad it's only a third political satire ( maybe not even that )it's mainly a satire on idiotic people and the sit-com format

I am tired of it as well and have no interest in this DVD. Good review though.

Tired of all the political stuff,even if it is funny.There has been so much divisiveness over the last few year,that I think we need to find some common ground and get this country back on the right path.No pun intended.lol
Nice review though.
