DVD Reviews of The Boondocks: The Complete First Season
DVD Review: Great Quick Service on Boondocks 1St Season Box Set
Summary: 4 Stars
This DVD set arrived within days of placing the order. The physical DVD's were in great shape. I'm happy with this purchaseDVD Review: Great Show
Summary: 5 Stars
This dvd set is a must buy for anyone who is a fan of the show or for anyone who wants to watch a smart,funny original show from Adultswim. It's also a great show for anyone who is tired of watching Family Guy reruns. DVD Review: Best Social Commentary EVER!
Summary: 5 Stars
This show illustrates the very serious issues of racism, classism, elitism and any other "ism" in our country. For that, it is a great show. Much more intellectually stimulating than say...Family Guy or South Park. I use the television show and comic strip in the college courses I teach.
Those who call this racist, I pity you more than anything. I pity the surface level thinking. For those who call this nothing but comedy, I also pity you. It is funny, down right hillarious. However, there are deep issues that are being addressed and ignoring those are not doing the comic strip nor television show justice.
I truely hope that one day, you understand that ignorance is NOT bliss and that you are a part of this society and the "isms" aforementioned.
DVD Review: Best Cartoon, Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
I thoroughly enjoy the Boondocks, it makes you think, laugh, and think some more. I hope a third season is on the way.DVD Review: One of the best!
Summary: 5 Stars
Love The Boondocks!!! Aaron Mcgruder has a very unique way of presenting issues that deal with our generation, ways that will not sit right with everyone. The Boondocks is a hilarious satirical look at our country and our culture. Not for everyone (especially young kids), but very entertaining if you enjoy this certain type of humor.
Description of The Boondocks: The Complete First Season
BASED ON AARON MCGRUDER'S COMIC STRIP. HUEY, A 10-YEAR-OLDLEFTIST REVOLUTIONARY & HIS 8-YEAR-OLD MISFIT BROTHER, RILEYLEAEV THE ROUGH CHICAGO SOUTH SIDE FOR THE RELATIVE PEACEFULNESSOF THE SUBURBS. ALTHOUGH THE BOYS TORTURE EACH OTHER & PROVOKETHE NEIGHBORHOOD, THEY ARE NO MATCH FOR ECCENTRIC GRANDAD.Based on cartoonist Aaron McGruder's politically charged daily comic strip, The Boondocks brings no-holds-barred social commentary and comedy to the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming, and now, all 15 episodes of the 2005-2006 debut season are available in an uncut and uncensored format in this three-disc set. As with McGruder's strip, the animated version of The Boondocks uses a fish-out-of-water format--10-year-old revolutionary-in-training Huey Freeman (voiced by Regina King), his 8-year-old brother Riley (also King), and their salty Granddad (John Witherspoon) relocate to an upscale suburban neighborhood--to take aim at all manner of cultural issues in both the black and white communities. Targets sighted in these episodes include singer R. Kelly's bedroom shenanigans ("The Trial of R. Kelly"); gangsta rap ("The Story of Gangstalicious," which includes a wicked spoof of the documentary Tupac: Resurrection); Oprah Winfrey (who is almost kidnapped by Riley in "Let's Nab Oprah"); and Martin Luther King, who revives from a coma to be branded a terrorist in "Return of the King," which generated plenty of heat from the Rev. Al Sharpton upon its broadcast. All of the above topics are handled in a decidedly less-than-respectful and occasionally offensive manner, though exactly who will find The Boondocks scandalous and who will find its approach fearless and on the money will depend on the viewer. But there's no arguing that the show is frequently as funny as McGruder's comic. Extras include audio and video commentary by McGruder and the production staff (as well as commentaries by the character Uncle Ruckus, Granddad's thoroughly unhinged friend whose fixation on a White Jesus is tackled in the season closer, "The Passion of Ruckus"), as well as deleted scenes, some unaired Adult Swim promo spots, and a behind-the-scenes featurette that addresses the show's conception and production. --Paul Gaita
