That's My Bush! is a short-lived live-action political satire/sitcom from South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. It aired on Comedy Central from April through June 2001.
The series centered on the fictitious personal life of George W. Bush, as 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).
The show was cancelled after only eight episodes because, according to a studio spokesman, although it was critically lauded "the cost per ratings point was just too expensive".
Was originally conceived as a satire of the sitcom genre rather than a mockery of the George W. Bush Administration, using clichés like the moronic husband, the knowledgeable wife, the wacky neighbor, et cetera.
Creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker waited three months to see if the show would be "Everyone Loves Al" or "That's my Bush", depending on the winner of the election.
When the show was in the planning stages, and before the outcome of the 2000 election was known, the show was known as "Family First".
The most expensive show ever produced by Comedy Central.
