Hollywood ReporterBarry Garron

Some of the sharpest political satire on the small screen.

Pittsburgh Post-GazetteRob Owen

If "South Park" traffics in occasionally brilliant satire, "Lil' Bush" is far more juvenile humor.

Boston GlobeMatthew 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.

Lil' Bush is too lame to be taken seriously, or, more important, taken humorously.

A juvenile pile of manure. [15 Jun 2007, p.74]

Washington PostJohn 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.

"Lil' Bush" is more than a lil' awful.

VarietyBrian 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.

Christian P. gave it a0:
not funny. not original. not worth anyone's time. this would have been unoriginal in 2000. this is one of the worst things comedy central has done since replacing upright citizen's brigade with battlebots.

Yegermister V. gave it a10:
I love Lil' Bush. It captivates my attention for the longest of times. I watch all the episodes on my iPod over and over.

Alberto G. gave it a5:
I don't recall ever watching this show.

AB gave it a5:
Interesting concept, but not as funny as some of the mistaken statements from the president himself.

Dangerous Curves gave it a10:
Lil Bush is the best. When will it be back? Isn't it obvious that all the 0s and 1s here work in the White House? Bet they're all written by Cheney. Rrarre raara.

Nichole H. gave it a10:
I think this show is absolutely hilarious!! Most people in our town love this show!

Ben gave it a7:
It's comedy central's 2nd best animated series, the haters just take it too seriously.
