The second season of Comedy Central’s Lil’ Bush premieres tonight with an all new episode titled St. Patrick’s Day. Kevin Federline adds his voice to the show as Lil’ Karl Rove – or MC Rove. This Flash-animated series is prepped in the States and then shipped to Bulgaria for production. Entertainment Weekly called the series “A juvenile pile of manure” but The Hollywood Reporter gushed, saying it features “some of the sharpest political satire on the small screen.”

Comedy Central’s new Flash-animated series Lil’ Bush premiered last night. The show first premiered on the ailing Amp’d Mobile, which just filed for Chapter 11, and tvsquad.com‘s Adam Finley just wrote a rather scathing review suggesting that the show itself is bankrupt.

According to an article on toonzone.net, the show is hand-drawn, then imported into Flash for more detailed animation. Sugarshack Animation, a studio in Bulgaria, produces the animation, and Finley writes that it appears to be “created with the first version of Flash ever, and sometimes their mouths don’t even move when they’re speaking.” Ouch.

Here’s a behind the scenes clip ~~one of the mobile episodes for your review~~.

I found a few chuckles in the first made-for-TV episode, which can now be seen at comedycentral.com. The line “what happens in Iraq, stays in Iraq,” worked for me; and when Rummy murmurs through the whole show, I swear he says “ridin’ dirty” one time.
