Nonureva Really Surprised!

Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense

Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

bmoore07 The title of this show is an interesting one because the show's setting isn't exactly in 'the boondocks' of American society. The Boondocks is about two children named Huey and Riley Freeman who move from the ghettos of Chicago to the fictional, peaceful (and very white) neighborhood of Woodcrest, where they embark on hilarious misadventures with their grandfather Robert Freeman as they adjust to their new environment.Huey Freeman is The Boondocks' main character and narrator (as well as the person I chose as my profile picture), an Afro-wielding martial arts master, a gun-toting terrorist with a Che Guevara poster on his wall, a supremely intelligent prodigy of few words (and one of my all-time favorite characters). Riley Freeman is Huey's younger brother and someone I was never fond of, a cornrowed hip-hop enthusiast famed for his expletive-filled rants and someone I find mostly one- dimensional, extremely egocentric, and unbelievably selfish. Robert Freeman is similar to Riley but is equipped with depth to his character (and a bizarre habit of dating psychotic women). The Boondocks offers a variety of richly detailed supporting characters like the politician Tom DuBois who looks exactly like young Barack Obama (and has a peculiar phobia), the infamous Uncle Ruckus, a racist who passionately despises his own kind (and someone whose voice I can imitate very well), Jazmine DuBois, who is Tom's innocent daughter, and Ed Wuncler III, a red- headed delinquent who looks a lot like Eminem. The Boondocks offers one of the best cast of characters I've ever seen. There are more than a few notable Boondocks episodes like "The Story of catcher Freeman", an attempt to analyze Huey and Riley's slavery- era ancestor who is profiled in three ways (Robert's version of Catcher is a beloved and brave hero who freed black people from slavery, Uncle Ruckus' version is a primal and vicious slavecatcher preventing black people from escaping the plantations, and Huey's version is an intelligent playwright who accidentally kills his white father). There's the episode "Smoking with Cigarettes", where Riley befriends Lamilton Taeshawn, a juvenile felon who punched his grandma and hijacked a car for a joyride (the detective chasing Lamilton sounds and looks similar to Obi-Wan Kenobi). There's also the episode "The Color Ruckus", an extremely emotional journey into Ruckus' past, and the episode "The Fundraiser", where Riley's attempt to make money from selling chocolates becomes out-of-control (highlighted by an unforgettable speech by Riley). "The Fundraiser" and "The Color Ruckus" are two of my three favorite Boondocks episodes.After the third season concluded, The Boondocks fell into a dry spell, only airing re-runs as America furiously pushed for Season 4. Four years after Season 3, The Boondocks returned. Season 4 was the show's first attempt at a running plot and it unfortunately aired for a pitiful 10 episodes. In those 10 episodes, The Boondocks mostly tried to recycle ideas from episodes of previous seasons (lowlighted by a return of the notorious Colonel Stinkmeaner as a mechanically modified clone to once again fight Grandpa Freeman), but there were a few shining moments in Season 4. The episode "Early Bird Special" was an interesting one but it didn't hold a candle to the classic "I Dream of Siri" (my third favorite Boondocks episode), where Robert's malfunctioned phone came dangerously close to destroying his life. The 10th (and final) episode of Season 4, "The New Black", was about Riley being targeted for calling a kid 'gay' and 'retarded', and the episode ended with Riley getting pummeled by a gigantic group of mentally disabled children as the show played Lethal Interjection Crew's "Stomp 'Em In the Nuts", a homage to the earlier seasons. It was a classic ending to a sub-par episode in a disappointing season.Sadly, when Season 4 concluded, Aaron McGruder (the creator of The Boondocks) quit his involvement in the beloved animated series for Black Jesus, a hilarious comedy that is nowhere close to The Boondocks, which was the last African-American classic, a show with supremely solid characters, first-class comedy, and occasional martial arts scenes, a show that casually ventured into polarizing social topics (race, snitching, homosexuality, etc.) and incited controversy along the way (The Boondocks labeled BET as "Black Evil Television", a sinister enterprise corrupting America, and the show suggested the famous playwright Tyler Perry is gay). With its memorable main theme, and historical and pop culture references, The Boondocks is a show that doesn't deserve to be ignored.

josnel2711 the Boondock is definitely worth watching (apart from season 4 which isn't as good) because its not just got unique comedy and also meaning and morale to some episodes. its characters are hilarious all of them to Grandpa a (apparently)former civil rights protester to Riley a wannabe gangster rapper and Uncle Ruckus a racist black man who thinks he is white and even the side characters too like Gangstalicous or Thugnificent. its cast is also amazing as its fun too see rappers and celebrities cast such interesting people like cello green Busta rhymes Snoop dogg Nate dogg Xzhibit and Samuel Jackson. and all episodes are different and clever. so really you should go on amazon instant now.

RubicksCubeMonkey After watching the fourth season of the Boondocks it became painfully clear Aaron Mcgruder was what kept this show alive. The first three seasons where clever and while still clearly parodies of specific pop culture areas it was done in such a way that it felt more like they were inspired by a particular reference rather than a straight out parody. With the lose of Aaron Mcgruder after season 3 all the subtlety in this show seems to have departed as well. Episodes now are clear parodies that try to survive on being connected and relevant rather than crafting a story based around a topic and characters have become a lot more two dimensional, relying on the stereotypes of there role from previous seasons rather than growing and changing like they did in the earlier seasons. Really I didn't laugh half as much in season four as I did in the other seasons.

Atomic_Peace Young Huey, and Riley Freeman move from the Boondocks of Chicago, to the suburban city of Woodcrest, with Robert "Granddad" Freeman. As they attempt to assimilate with the new life, their life behind them often is reflected, shown in the repression of Huey, the oldest, and for Riley, the youngest, it is another adventure! From saving a gangster from a mob hit squad, to getting into a shoot out at a local mini-mart, they are still strangers in this new, slow world, and they have only their friends, their granddad, and the timely brother to brother understanding to survive.I am in love with this show! Each episode has me laughing my head off! I mostly connect with Huey, as he reflects someone who doesn't fit in, likes his lonesome and inquiry in the news, like me!The writing is top notch, and the voice acting is just fantastic!I give the show a 10/10 film rolls!
