Lil Bush

[DING-DONG YO]

Did anyone see this last night?

Just to clarify, I have no desire to discuss Bush or politics in this thread.

But I watched this thing last night and wow. I guess Comedy Central thinks they can build a whole series based on stale unoriginal politcal jokes? This was the worst 30 minutes of TV I have seen in quite some time. Who green lights these things?

I give it 4 episodes before it gets yanked.

i'll take the under on the 4.

I saw about a minute and a half of this and had to turn it off. Absolutely terrible. I hate Bush but this wasn't the least bit funny.

Probably the same one who let "Freak Squad" air.

Especially since they'd already rolled the dice on this, with their best creative minds behind it, and whiffed horribly.

Please don't drag "That's My Bush" into this conversation. Yeah, maybe its ratings sucked, but it deserved better. I consider it a very underrated show that had loads of potential. It was actually funny, wickedly satirical, and intelligent in a campy way. Timothy Bottoms was tremendous as Bush, and the obvious play on old traditional cheesy sitcoms was great.

Lil' Bush was not any of those things.

I'm guessing that after comedy central got lucky with South Park they just decided to try everything out and see if it hit.

2 hits in 10 years (South Park, Chapelle's show), couple of mediocre shows (Mind of Mencia, reno 911), then lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of str8 up poo.

I think Daily Show and Colbert are pretty popular too.

And, I dunno, give them credit for trying dumb stuff? I am sick of network TV for being super stale, so whiffing is not so bad since it means the station is at least swinging. Still a horribly bad idea imo though.
