Linda Stasi

If you love a big, seriously politically incorrect, brilliantly funny show that delivers belly laughs of the "South Park" quantity, then this one's for you. Read full review

Melanie McFarland

As hilariously scalding onscreen as it is on the daily comics pages. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Matt Roush

Animation has rarely felt so explosively, hilariously defiant.

Mike Duffy

Like the frequently audacious comic strip that gave it life, "The Boondocks" doesn't mess around. Read full review

David Hinckley

"The Boondocks," with all its knowingly controversial observations and language, is a sort of animated equivalent of "All in the Family." It'll make you think, and maybe even wince - but at the same time, it makes you smile. Read full review

Hal Boedeker

Deliberate pacing muffles the comedy's energy. Stylish animation clashes with coarse language and situations. Would arty photography help a Mel Brooks movie? Not one with a wobbly script. Read full review

Nancy Franklin

There is not a single fresh moment in the three episodes that have run so far; it turns out you can be controversial without being the least bit interesting. Read full review

Hilarious show, very amusing with its wit and racial stereotypes which they manage to turn into pure laughter, great jokes, and just comedy at some of its finest.

The Boondocks in real in the best of ways. The show remains oblivious to political correctness and instead focus's on the truth as McGruder see's it. Its funny, shocking, educational at times and always entertaining.

The Boondocks is smart, funny, relevant and entertaining. Racism will not end because anyone stops using the N- word. Focusing on that cause you to miss all the totally relevant social and mulit-cultural commentary the show has to offer. MacGruder is the bomb!

If we didn't get enough use of the word "nigger" in Rap, here is the rest. As a child of the civil rights era I let people spit in my face so I would never hear that word again. People were sprayed with hoses, beaten,sent to jail for the same purpose. So now that kids are benefiting If we didn't get enough use of the word "nigger" in Rap, here is the rest. As a child of the civil rights era I let people spit in my face so I would never hear that word again. People were sprayed with hoses, beaten,sent to jail for the same purpose. So now that kids are benefiting from so many older Black's suffering they think the word has no meaning. They are soooooooooo wrong.… Expand
