"That's My Bush!" Scores Big Time By Acheron, (DT) April 5, 2001 6:59 PM PT |

(E!) South Park's creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone's new live action comedy, That's My Bush pulled in 2.9 million viewers its first night out. That was the highest rated premiere that Comedy Central has seen to date.
That's My Bush! stars Timothy Bottoms in a dead-on potrayal of the Dubya-in-Chief and Carrie Quinn Dolin as long-suffering wife Laura. Parker and Stone have insisted that Bush! is more a parody of classic goofball sitcoms than the President himself--complete with a canned laugh-track, a wacky next-door neighbor (named Larry, ? la Three's Company) and a know-it-all maid (think Alice from The Brady Bunch). This show was destined a hit or miss, and it looks like it hit big. I didn't get to see the first episode, but I can't wait to catch it soon and judge it for myself. The show airs (for now) Wednesdays right after South Park on Comedy Central. |
