The Boondocks cartoon

That's kind of like saying "It remains to be seen whether the film will succeed like 'Do The Right Thing' or sputter like 'Leonard 6'"

or maybe

"It remains to be seen whether his recording career will take off, like Michael Jackson's, or sputter, like Chunky A's"

This show eventually got so god damn funny.

The show and the strip are both meant to be different beasts, and the show is very much like a more liberated growing experiment whereas the strip has been around for much much longer.. each have their freedoms and limitations.

Boondocks has been my favorite nationally syndicated strip for years, and while I can't say the same for the TV show just yet, it might become my favorite TV show if the episodes continue getting better throughout the seasons... Granted, the best Simpsons episodes are going to be a really tough group to beat.

The "Itis" episode is also outstanding because it's simultaneously funny and insidious.

I don't think they're still showing. I've only seen all of them thx to TORRENTS.

I'm really glad Aaron McGruder has written every episode himself, too, I had a bad-feeling this was to become one of those "based on the characters of" type things with a bunch of randoms contributing sub-par scripts. It seems like the fullness of the storylines (as opposed to the comic) really fits his sense of humor & social responsibility a little better than the comic.

I'm buying the DVD for sure.

It took a few episodes in for me to get excited about this set, but another winner. "Stinkmeaner returns" and "THUGNIFICENT". Holy shit. :) :) :)

And then the B.E.T. episode trumps all above...

And then the Luna episode trumps the above and all above...

I found this show by accident, and I really like it. The Thugnificent episode was awesome.

HAHA OMG LUNA EPISODE...OTM

I DIDN'T REALIZE UNTIL SEASON 2 THAT A PIMP NAMED SLICKBACK WAS KATT WILLIAMS

I gotta admit I have a huge weakness for the fight episodes, just love seeing them in motion, even if I haven't been a huge fan of the Stinkmeaner episodes. Also, wow, a 28 WEEKS Later parody!

This season has been basically entirely awesome, best one yet IMO.

yeah, it's kind of like "how can we make you go 'holy shit' and scream at the television" in every episode

Usually the thought of Uncle Ruckus getting tons of screen time is enough to make me kill but both of his episodes have been amazing.

Oh no kidding, the last one that showed his childhood and family was incredible.

I about died when the credits rolled and I saw that his mom was STAR JONES

bahahahahahahaha

I didn't catch that, holy shit.

or was she the grandmother? now I'm not sure

either way, amazing episode

I was rolling my eyes at the reintroduction of Tom's anal rape phobia but that episode was hilarious as well, and don't even get me started on the racist country music episode...

yeah, totally agree, it's been a good season

also I missed Thugnificent's fall the first time around; hilarious

yeah I really loved catching that one this time around

Riley's evil friend and grampa smoking pot are favs as well

Is it pretty much a sure thing that this is over? I'm so sad. I think MacGruder had really honed down his writing chops.

I mean McGruder, sorry Mr. McGruder.

thought about this again and laughed.
