That’s My Bush! was a Comedy Central sitcom that aired in 2001. It was created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the duo behind South Park. The show, which was a satirical look at life in the White House was green lit with the understanding that the show would focus around whoever ended up winning the 2000 presidential election. The show’s premise was less about politics and more about lampooning the conventions of the American sitcom.

Although reviews were generally positive, praising the show as a clever parody of both politics and sitcom clichés, That’s My Bush! proved unsustainable. High production costs led to cancellation after just eight episodes. Parker and Stone later admitted the series likely wouldn’t have worked in the political climate after September 11, 2001. Listen as the boys deep dive That's My Bush's pilot episode, "An Aborted Dinner Date".
