the Boondocks

RUDE, HILARIOUS, GENIUS, A MASTERPIECE UNDER ANIMATIONS!!!

I bought the first season on DVD, and watched all 15 episodes in one go!

It's about two young black kid brothers, one revolutionary minded and smart, the other violent and very wannabe gangsta! they live with their grandpa, who solves problems with his belt, in a rich white neighbourhood!

racism is the main source of humour here and it attacks black and white, on a sensible yet rrrrrrrrrrude, but mostly hilarious and direct way!

you GOTTA love Unckle Ruckus, an old black guy that totaly hates black people and praises white people whenever he can! he's sooooooooooo silly... he's my favourite character and made me nearly piss my pants from laughing everytime he appeared on screen!!!

Premise:
In "The Boondocks," when Robert "Granddad" Freeman becomes legal guardian of his rambunctious grandkids, he moves from the south side of Chicago to the quiet and safety of "The Boondocks" (in this case, suburban Woodcrest), hoping that he can ignore them altogether and enjoy the fourth quarter of his life in peace.

Characters:
The characters include Huey Freeman, a 10-year-old left wing revolutionary, is determined not to enjoy the affluence of suburbia. This attitude is seconded by his 8-year-old brother, Riley, a proud product of contemporary rap culture who lives only to spread chaos and mayhem. Although they torture each other and provoke the neighborhood, they are no match for Granddad, who is eccentric even by "crazy-ass-old-black-man" standards.

Cast:
Regina King ("Miss Congeniality 2," "Ray") and John Witherspoon ("Friday") are among the actors who have signed on to voice characters. King will do double-duty as the voices of brothers Huey and Riley while Witherspoon will be voicing "Granddad." Cedric Yarbrough ("Reno 911,") Gary Anthony Williams ("Malcolm in the Middle,") Gabby Soleil ("Johnson Family Vacation") and Jill Talley ("The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie") are also among the show’s principal cast.

Guest Stars:
Hip-hop artist turned actor Mos Def ("The Italian Job,") Ed Asner ("Elf") and Charlie Murphy ("Chappelle’s Show") are among the eclectic mix of actors who have been enlisted to voice guest characters on the show.

Creator:
Aaron McGruder, who created the comic strip where the series is based upon, serves as creator and executive producer of "The Boondocks."

as far as I know, it's only aired on "Adult Swim" in the US, not in Europe yet! (but I could very well be mistaking on this point!)

9.5/10!!! MUST SEE MATERIAL!!!
