Critic Reviews

80 Hollywood Reporter Barry Garron
Some of the sharpest political satire on the small screen.
50 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Rob Owen
If "South Park" traffics in occasionally brilliant satire, "Lil' Bush" is far more juvenile humor.
40 Boston Globe Matthew Gilbert
The mildly amusing animated series would have packed more of a punch back when Americans were still a little shocked about Bush's seeming arrested development, but these days it comes off as merely facile.
30 The New York Times Mike Hale
Too lil’, too late.
30 Time James Poniewozik
Lil' Bush is too lame to be taken seriously, or, more important, taken humorously.
25 Entertainment Weekly Whitney Pastorek
A juvenile pile of manure. [15 Jun 2007, p.74]
20 Washington Post John Maynard
"Lil' Bush" aims for the political satire of "The Daily Show" and the crude-but-smart humor of "South Park" but fails to live up to both standard-bearers.
12 New York Daily News David Hinckley
"Lil' Bush" is more than a lil' awful.
10 Variety Brian Lowry
"Lil' Bush," like so much on Comedy Central other than "The Daily Show"/"Colbert Report" hour, possesses all the finesse of Gallagher with a watermelon.
10 Newsday Diane Werts
Little of it adds up to much of anything but foul-minded mischief.
