I am a fan of Lil' Bush, so when offered the DVD, I jumped. It might help that I tend to find most W hi-jinks funny, you know, other than all the invasions and taking away of civil liberties and corporate sponsorships and stuff.

Lil' George is surrounded by the Lil' Cronies -- Lil' Condi, Lil' Rummy, and Lil' Cheney. They go to school with Lil' Hillary, Lil'Barack, and Lil' Al Gore. See where this is going? The gang faces such issues as evolution being taught in school (Lil' George thinks he can hide behind the bible so he doesn't have to study for a science test), global warming (a flooded NYC is a kickass waterpark), and Mexicans (the gang hires illegals to do their homework, among other degrading duties). You do have to give the show some leeway in history, as the Lil' Cronies have corresponding Big versions on Bush the Elder's cabinet, but if you can forgive some inaccruacies (hi, it's a CARTOON), you will be rewarded with some good satire, both political and social. The humor is rather broad, and can be cringe-worthy at times, but I like this show the more I watch it. As an aside, the second season just started on Comedy Central, and Lil' Bush, like most tv shows, especially animated, is only getting better and taking more risks. If that is possible.

My one qualm with Lil' Bush is that the show is making me wish (just a little, little, little bit, and then I slap myself for even thinking that way) Bush had four more years to keep Lil' George relevant. But I am sure that as more and more information becomes de-classified or more tell-alls are published in the next few years, Lil' Bush will have more than enough material. I just don't see Lil' Barack or Lil' Hillary giving comedy writers nearly enough inspiration for either of those characters to either take over the show or get a spin-off.

Oh, yeah, and I wish I could stop doing the Lil' Bush voices after watching the mini-sodes (15 minutes, 2 per aired episode on Comedy Central). It is surprisingly addictive.
