That's My Bush!

That's My Bush! was a live-action political satire/sitcom from South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. It aired on Comedy Central in first run from April through June 2001.

That's My Bush! (the title being a double-entendre referencing both the current U.S. President and pubic hair) centered on the (fictitious) personal life of United States President George W. Bush (played by Timothy Bottoms, who would later portray the President in the somber DC 9/11 telefilm). Carrie Quinn Dolin played Laura Bush, and Kurt Fuller played Karl Rove. The show itself was a lampoon of classic American sitcoms, with 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).

Every episode ended with George saying "One of these days Laura, I'm gonna punch you in the face!", a parody of Jackie Gleason's line from The Honeymooners, "One of these days, Alice ... Bang, zoom! Right to the moon!" Episodes dealt (with deliberate heavy-handedness) with the topics of abortion, gun control, the war on drugs, drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and the death penalty.

The show was more of a spoof of the banality of TV sitcoms in general rather than a cutting political satire. As The AV Club put it: "[That's my] Bush!'s irresistibly gimmicky premise—a workplace sitcom centering on Bush and his wife Laura—represents a perverse act of extended misdirection. While audiences waited for Parker and Stone to tear into the Bush administration, they instead attacked the hoary conventions of 1970s and 1980s sitcoms, which proved a surprisingly apt target for satire and pop-culture riffing." Indeed, episodes do not often make definitive political statements, usually remaining in the center while making fun of all sides and saying that neither side is entirely right.
