DVD Reviews of The Boondocks: The Complete First Season
DVD Review: Who Doesn't Laugh at this...
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a GREAT show and an EVEN better cartoon. Not only does the show provide you with a show full of laughs but it is a little intellectual too. My only complaint is the price. WHY so much?!?! DVD Review: Great for Gift-giving to the 20-something Group
Summary: 5 Stars
Have a hard time buying gifts for your 20-something year-old? LOOK NO FURTHER! I bought both seasons for my shopaholic 23 year-old daughter who already bought herself everything. She tells me that she watches one episode before going to bed every night. It's the first time in years that I picked a gift that wasn't cash and she absolutely loved it!!! DVD Review: Great condition, thank you
Summary: 5 Stars
Thank you for sending the item fast. The description was accurate. would buy from seller again:) thanks!DVD Review: Unwitty Humor Scores Again and Hating White People has Never Been Cooler!
Summary: 1 Stars
I suppose since the Family Guy era has taken its stronghold over Adult Swim, the folks at Cartoon Network feel the need to keep this show, as well as Moral Orel and any other waste-of-space TV show that lowers the standard of humor to unfathomable levels for today's viewers.
I usually can get over it, but Boondocks is one of those shows that not only recycles every single racist joke and stereotype that used to make people laugh, but the head writer, Aaron McGruder plagues his show with contradiction. It's great that he's a guy who preaches racial harmony and unity; however, his show preaches nothing but hatred for white people (but I guess that's okay for some). Now McGruder does play with multiple racial stereotypes, but the end result is something that isn't positive, beneficial, or even funny for anyone of any race, age, sex, or religion... and this is coming from me, one of the biggest South Park fans around.
DVD Review: One of the funniest shows on TV today.
Summary: 5 Stars
Ordered this a while ago and just now getting to review it,it is probably one of the funniest shows i've ever watched period,the go after alot of issues like mainly race and pop culture.
Description of The Boondocks: The Complete First Season
Based on aaron mcgruders comic strip. Huey a 10-year-old leftist revolutionary & his 8-year-old misfit brother riley leaev the rough chicago south side for the relative peacefulness of the suburbs. Although the boys torture each other & provoke the neighborhood they are no match for eccentric grandad. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 07/25/2006 Run time: 323 minutesBased 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
