* DrugsAreBad: [[ZigzaggedTrope Zigzagged]] in "Mom E. DEA Arrest". After the episode's drug-fueled shenanigans have concluded, the drug dealer concludes that drug addiction is bad, and that drugs are something that should only be enjoyed every so often.

Princess tries to follow his instructions, but as soon as the drugs kick in, George tricks her into letting him out by [[TheDitz making her think]] he's a unicorn.

The show achieved solid ratings, but failed to match the success of ''South Park''. Few conservatives gave the show a chance, and liberals were disappointed by the lack of satire or simply didn't get it[[note]]To be fair, Bush had only been in office for about three months at that point, so it was probably [[TooSoon far too early]] for a full-blown spoof of his presidency anyway[[/note]]. Ultimately, the network decided that the ratings didn't justify the show's high production costs, and cancelled it after an eight week run. Parker and Stone admit that the idea didn't have long-term potential, and they were already starting to run out of ideas when the show was cancelled. Contrary to common belief, the show was not cancelled in the wake of 9/11, but a good two months prior. (However, the events of September 2001 pretty much ruined any hope of the show being UnCancelled.) For a while there were rumors of an ActionAdventure movie called ''George W. Bush And The Secret Of The Glass Tiger'', but it never came to be. Series star [[Series/LandOfTheLost1991 Timothy]] [[Literature/JohnnyGotHisGun Bottoms]] would go on to play Bush in two movies.
