The Boondocks Thread

That.....was......amazing.

It was okay, it wasn't great but it was okay, I would have rather seen the Hunger strike episode.

"The Uncle Ruckus Reality Show" was hi-f'n-larious. My absolute favorite episode of season 2. I hope it and "The Hunger Strike" are on the DVD, it would be a travesty for people not to be able to see them.

Thanks, Terry. Is the Hunger Strike episode on YouTube as well?

 

[WallCrawl]

Both episodes, Hunger Strike and The Ruckus reality show are up on SurftheChannel.com

Alright so I know this is the season 2 thread but I have a question about the episode Adult Swim aired last night.

It was that episode in season 1 called "Riley Wuz Here" and Riley has that art mentor and they graffitti houses.

In the end, when they are running from the cops, who was in the picture Riley painted on his house? I think its his Grandpa and dead grandmother or was it his parents?

Have they said what happened to the parents yet?

I thought it was his parents but you are right it coulda been Grandpa and wife.

Have they said what happened to the parents yet?

No and I don't think they are going to. Back when he was still doing the strip McGruder said he was leaving it vague. But you never know...

Preliminary airdate in early 2010

OMG I cannot wait! I thought this just got cancelled or something considering its been 2 years since the second season

 

[RockSP]

McGruder has said they don't know season to season if there will be another season...which seems crazy to me. I think the ratings are good, what more could adult swim want?

Since it's traditionally animated, and animated well by Madhouse, the show probably costs a lot more than their other Flash-animated shows.

I like these new designs.

 

[spidey-dude]

OH HELLS YEAH!!!! is it at a new animation studio now??

Even though I'm sad it's the final season, hopefully it goes out on top.

 

[RockSP]

Damn. Only three seasons?!!!

And no Caesar (at least it looks that way)

 

[Incrediblejeff]

Final Season ?!? Why?

 

[terry78]

Season 3 begins tonight. The Freemans hit the Obama inaugauration.

 

[BlackLantern]

Final Season ?!? Why?

Magruder stopped doing the strip in 2008 I think and he wants to take a break

 

[SrsBsns]

Loved it.

 

[Cmill216]

Michelle Obama should be in the WNBA shooting foul shots.

I lost it.

 

[E-Man]

The first episode was a stinker. I was stone faced throughout most of the episode. I don't know where the magic of the first season went, but right now it's like there is no energy. It's like McGruder forgot how to balance comedy and political messages. I hope the season gets better, because the Boondocks needs a better sendoff than this.

I say the premiere was ok, moderately funny... 6/10...I won't extrapolate for the rest of the season though.

He went after Obama-mania pretty well, I'm sure more viewers will be shocked to see he isn't on the bandwagon. The opening and middle was ok, but the end was pretty bleh, overly negative.
The only thing I didn't like was McGrudder making the episode pretty much about him and his response to Obama's campaign. Although I don't agree with McGrudder politics, I understand his skepticism and I think he got peeved by the response to his skepticism and felt like making a personal episode to vent. The episode didn't offer any solutions/alternative....just complan that "nobody's listening."

Bill Maher to Thugnificent: "If you're a black leader, I'm glad I'm a white man."
That line and the delivery was pretty hillarious, though.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

I was a little letdown with the episode. Overall, it didn't seem cynical or uplifiting...just "meh". There were some bright spots, though.

Werner Herzog was great, and Bill Maher's cameo was too.

"Dick Riding Obama" was pretty damn funny.

I'm sure Will. I. Am. won't like it...

 

[Aesop Rocks]

Didn't like it, laughed once (Michelle Obama in the WNBA) and everything felt forced.

 

[Maximus One]

I laughed (like I always do) at every damn thing that came out Uncle Ruckus' mouth and Huey's whole indifference to everything. Thought it was funny as hell. Kept thinking about the South Park episode with Obama "CHAANNGGGEEE!!!!!"
