TV: Bill & George’s Excellent Adventures

From the White House to the poor house, join former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush as they travel to strange and exotic lands on behalf of the United States, all while trying to keep from strangling one another. Hilarity is guaranteed when George, a recently unemployed slouch, is tapped by the federal government to go on a series of goodwill trips. Bill, a retiree who wants just one more day in the sun, signs on to the trip at the last minute, hoping against hope that he still has what it takes to be a leader. With Bob Saget as host, this modern-day Odd Couple will be a laugh a minute.

This week’s episode: “The Haitian Vacation.” Bill and George travel to Haiti to help with relief efforts, but George can’t keep his hands to himself. After shaking hands with some of the local Haitians, he uses Bill’s shirtsleeve to wipe his hand, much to Bill’s neat-freak chagrin. To retaliate, Bill eats all of George’s beloved pretzels.
