That's My Bush!

That's My Bush! was a short-lived political satire/sitcom from South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. It aired on Comedy Central from April through June 2001.
That's My Bush! centered around the (fictitious) personal life of United States President George W. Bush (played by Timothy Bottoms, who would ironically go on to 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 clutzy bimbo secretary Princess (Kristen Miller), know-it-all maid Maggie (Marcia Wallace), and supposedly helpful next-door neighbor Larry (John D'Aquino). Every episode ended with George mouthing the words "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 ... to the moon!" Episodes dealt with the topics of abortion, gun control, and the death penalty.
Although the show received good ratings and a fair amount of publicity, in the end it was too expensive to produce, and Comedy Central decided not to continue it.
