Term limits set on “That’s My Bush”

Comedy Central has halted production of That’s My Bush, Matt Stone and Trey Parker‘s spoof of the president, starring Timothy Bottoms. The channel’s spokesman, Tony Fox, said that the network could not justify continuing to pour $700,000 into each episode — an enormous figure for a cable channel. “We’re tremendously proud of the show and think it was a creative success — but it was tremendously expensive to produce and we’re operating a business,” Fox told the New York Post. But Stone and Parker — who also created South Park — said that they plan to produce a movie version of the series. It will be called, George W. Bush and the Secret of the Glass Tiger, Stone said. At the same time, Comedy Central announced Thursday that it was renewing Primetime Glick, starring Martin Short.
