If you think Boondocks is even slightly "relevant" you probably think Ali G is real. Magruder is a no talent hack who has spent years beyond his time parlaying his race and his mean-mindedness into a career based mainly on white liberals who think themselves uncool if they notice that he's simply not funny. The show is a one joke horror at best and usually a bad joke at that. For god's sake, watch an old rerun of " In Living Color" if you wish to see how real Afrocentric humor should be done.

Boondocks is not only the funniest show of the year, but also the most creative. Did I hear someone say Boston Legal was great? T.V. needs more courtroom and medical shows, like I need another hole in my ass. As far as the n-word is concerned I think they use it so much that it becomes comicle in the show. It looses it's shock factor. People need to lighten up, it's a f-word cartoon. Just laugh and enjoy the satire. Save your P.C. sh*t for the work place. By the way I am Italian so according to the Sopranos I am a Dago, W.O.P., Guinee who enjoys pizza, pasta, and shooting people in my spare time. I am also in the mob.

This show is incredibly funny. Like the review said, you really have to see it to appreciate it. A lot of the humor is in the animation (like the way spit flies out of the mouth of some of the characters when they talk). If you appreciate exaggerated social satire humor like South Park, you will probably like this show. I think people with white liberal guilt will not like this show. It makes fun of black people a lot more than white people. It highlights common black racial stereotype behavior; in my view it ridicules much of the behavior of the black characters and shows how that behavior is detrimental to blacks and facilitates racism. The show generally depicts white people as happy-go-lucky and oblivious. In this way it illustrates that white people have it easier because of their race and are often oblivious to the real racism that occurs against blacks. Bill Cosby would probably like the show but Jesse Jackson would probably be appallingly offended by it. Regarding the use of the n-word: I dont buy the explanation given in post #10. The examples given were all about whether or not you have a personal relationship with the other person, not what race you are. For example, a white person could call a close black friend n***er in a joking manner (if they were both cool). I guess black people can call each other n***er even if they dont have a personal relationship because they are all brothers? (I just made a white person joke.) Or is it OK on the show because they are really saying nigga (the text actually displayed on the screen in the episode Nigga Moment and not n***er? (See http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=nigga). Of course, you can ignore all this commentary and just laugh at the show because its funny as s**t to both n***ers and cr***ers.

A lot of people are all riled because the cartoon acually made it to television(so what).Some can't handle the truth and facts of life and struggule of what some African-Americans have to put up with in life every single day. Some even get up rattled when a cartoon fictious child says the word "n***ga" a few times ,truth is its all round us so ya might as well get used to it.When it comes into a little 24min cartoon show people bash it before they see it saying it isnt good enough and its racists and stupid and they dont even bother to look at.Like they always said dont judge a book by its cover see whats inside before commenting.its not made to be racists its just made to enjoy and to have a laugh. Also News flash for ya'll its rated TV-MA ,read hard enough and it says its only for the strong not for the weak and if you cant handle simply just dont watch or ignore it. FYE:There's a specific reason for the remote and the V-Chip trying using it. thanx for listening

after enduring weeks of solipsistic crap like 12 Oz. Mouse and Squidbillies I do not think it means what you think it means.

Giggity giggity,giggity goo.I'm a black man that says nigga all the time.I don't care if white people say nigga as long as they're not using it offensively.And white people with a ghetto pass(Eminem,Paul Wall,ETC) should be able to say nigga

"Should a white person like myself even refer to "the 'n'-word"?" When you use a phrase "should a white person", Jay, you are participating in and condoning a racial mindset which also excuses the phrase "should a black person...", and then you get yourself into a shitload of trouble, Jay, with "should a black person....vote, should a black person...go to the same schools....". It's why you do-gooders inevitabely make things worse. Also your review, Jay, it clear that you're free with the term "white" which pops up multiple times, but never once refer to black people as "black ". There is a one-sided racially/politically biased mindset implied behind this behavior, and quite frankly I come to this site for the tv reviews, not whatever your agenda happens to be. I guess coming here I now have to take note of who is writing the reviews, so I can weed out the subjective ones? Well, you're first on the list, Jay, along with the author of all those anti-E-ring reviews.

One point of clarification: This is one of the only reviews I write for TVSquad. I cover several of the Adult Swim shows and nothing else. So referring to other things "I" have reviewed makes no sense - unless you've found some sort of lingering tree-hugging hippy liberal bias in my Full Metal Alchemist recaps. I watched the show. I liked it. It made me laugh. End of story.
