Hilarious!!!!
I have been watching Boondocks from the beginning, and it is BEYOND funny. Start with Season 1, and work your way up. I own Seasons 1&2 on DVD and plan to buy Season 3, the moment it hits the stores. It is ADULT humor, so wait until the kids go to bed. I am in my 30s and so is my husband, and we are hooked. You will be too.

Get offended! Get Laughs! Get McGrudered!!!
THIS IT! I thought there was no way that Season One and Two could be outdone.... WRONG! This 3rd season far out does the first and second season! Way more boldness! More lessons! More irreverence! From dissin OBAMA, to flaming Tyler Perry to everything that stands.... this season is The season to OWN!

Gut Busting Funny!
Trust me this is not a cartoon for kids! I'm 27 and my husband is 36 and we can't get enough of the boondocks...we don't miss an espisode. We have the first season on dvd and I'm sure we'll be getting the second and third season also. We've already started watching the third season on tv and let me tell you it's not disappointing. Buy it or watch it Sundays @ 11:30pm on Adult Swim--Cartoon Network during the day.

As the packaging on The Boondocks' third season set notes, this is the animated series' "most controversial season yet," and in a certain way, that bit of ballyhoo is entirely correct. Sadly, the hoopla is less over the show's slaughter of social and political sacred cows and more in regard to its shocking drop in quality. The basic scenario is in place--pint-sized activist Huey Freeman (Regina King), brother Riley (also King), and his easy-to-anger grandfather (John Witherspoon) contend with all manner of outsized personalities, from the crazed Uncle Ruckus to rapper Thugnificent and the biracial yuppie Dubois family--but the sharp wit and keen intelligence of Aaron McGruder's daily comics, on which the show is based, and the previous seasons have somehow gone missing. More often than not, what's in its place are missed opportunities or ham-fisted movie parodies ("The Fund-Raiser," which trots out the umpteenth nod to Scarface, and "Fried Chicken Flu," which envisions the apocalypse emerging from a free chicken giveaway) as well as a few unnecessary bits of homophobic humor ("A Date with the Booty Warrior" and "Pause," which falls flat in its attempt to poke fun at Tyler Perry). That's not to say that there aren't some bright spots, most notably the season opener, "It's a Black President, Huey Freeman," which sees Werner Herzog document the Freemans' reaction to Barack Obama, and "The Story of Jimmy Rebel," in which Grandpa learns the awful truth about his favorite country singer. Otherwise, it's a mediocre season from start to finish, and one that can only be fixed by a serious overhaul or cancellation.
The extras occasionally surpass the episodes themselves in terms of actual laughs: voice cast members Cedric Yarbrough and Gary Anthony Williams provide humorous intros and outros for each episode, and join Witherspoon for some very funny commentary tracks on four episodes, including "It's a Black President." The Stink on the Street featurettes are throwaways, while the animatic is most likely of interest to animation fanatics. Audiences should know that all of the episodes are uncut and feature strong language. --Paul Gaita Top to learn more
