CURT’S TAKE: IGNORE
Lil’ Bush
COMEDY CENTRAL
Any animated show that portrays Dubya and his cronies as bratty 5th graders raises my hopes for hilariously sharp summer TV. Which is why “Lil’ Bush” is so disappointing. Stupid (and not funny) personal attacks mute any political satire. Lil’ Cheney drinks the blood of chickens? Lil’ Jeb is mentally challenged? C’mon. What political jokes exist — ignoring the Constitution, rigging votes — are so last election.
10:30 P.M.
Hidden Palms
CW
Nikki falls far off the wagon.
11:30 P.M.
One Tree Hill
CW
The kids of Tree Hill will be four years older and out of high school when the show returns in 2008. In other words, it’ll be the new “Melrose Place.”
