That's My Bush - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

What do you guys think of the new show, That's My Bush? I don't really like it that much. I watched the second episode. The first 5 minutes were very amusing, but the show's scripts and acting was really dull and unfunny I thought. Maggie was the only character in the show who seemed to be funny at all. Anybody agree?

I've never seen it. I don't plan on ever watching and I don't feel that I'm missing out on great comedy.

I love this show!!! If it seems forced and unfunny to you, that's because it's supposed to be. It's a satire making fun of the shows that Stone & Parker grew up with. The show is trying to paint them as insipid as they really were, and just happens to be using the first family as a backdrop.

I think it's an amazing piece of work.

I also think this show is great. This show is all about making fun of sitcom cliches. It's the only sitcom-type show I've ever seen where the laughtrack and applause are part of the joke. Plus, I like the idea of having a wacky neighbor who can just walk into the White House. It's just so absurd it's funny.

"I'm the President!" George W. Bush (Timothy Bottoms)
"Laura, one of these days I'm gonna punch you in the face!"

I've actually been watching the series, and it's gotten alot better! I love Maggie, she is a hoot! I still don't think that it's that good, but it's worth watching now. I liked the one with Barbara Bush.

Maggie: Why don't you put your head out the window, and I'll throw you a brick!

Bush: Laura, one of these days I'M GONNA PUNCH YOU IN THE FACE!

Miss. Cleo: Die, Die, GAY, Die.
Bush: Oh no Laura, I'm Gay!

I consider this to be one of the rudest shows Ive ever seen. The media has REALLY overstepped their bounds this time.

This show is an absolute disgrace! There's nothing wrong with political satire ("Saturday Night Live" has been doing it since day one), but this goes way beyond satire, and is nothing more than another attempt to smear G.W. Bush (and they have the nerve to call Republicans "mean spirited"!). Imagine the outcry that would have been heard had a show of this type been based based on Bill Clinton! We just finished 8 years of the most corrupt administration in the history of this country, and would have had at least 4 more, had Clinton's stooge Al Gore succeeded in his attempt to steal the election. After Bush has beaten them at every turn, I guess this is all the democrats have left. Then again....they still have Gary Condit.

Titania · 07-31-2001, 10:01 PM

Finally more people who agree with me! (on the off subject, imagine if Condit was republican, they would have torn him to pieces by now!) And what about how the media left Chelsea Clinton alone? This isnt a political satire, its a satire on a persons life. Totally uncalled for.

Excuse me? It was definately Bush who stole the election. All what Gore wanted was a re-count, but Bush sabotaged it. After two judges (a local one and one of the Supreme Court of Florida) decided Gore could have his re-count, Bush STILL went to the Supreme Court of America! He couldn't take it that Gore was right and, with the re-counting, it appeared that Gore would get more votes then Bush. 5 to 4 judges of the Supreme Court decided Gore couldn't have his re-count, the 5th being a Republican. Also, thanks to America's stupid system, Bush could be elected although Gore had more votes then Bush.
Let alone hundreds of Jewisch voted, thanks to the messy billet, for Buchanan when they wantedto vote for Gore!

So...
