The Boondocks Review

     Right here we gots us a show that is truly dank as fuck. The Boondocks is a cartoon sitcom about the Freemans, and African-American family who moves from South Side Chicago to the fictional, primarily white suburb, Woodcrest. It is a satirical comedy, with humor revolving around race, social class, cultural blending. So far, I have watched the 1st season, but I definitely need to watch the other 2 because this is already becoming 1 of my favorite shows.
     This show airs on Adult Swim, however, it bears little resemblance to the referential ridiculousness of Robot Chicken or the brain melting terror humor of Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job! Instead, it offers clever insight into American culture, as well as well developed characters and great dialogue. This is exemplified by the contrast between the Freeman brothers, Huey, 10, and Riley, 8. Huey is an intellectual and very adult-like kid who admires revolutionary leaders and social justice activists. Riley loves gangsta rap and saying "nigga" a lot. The dynamic between the 2 is great and very real, and it adds to the show's social commentary.
     A neato fact about this show is that the episode "Return of the King" won a Peabody Award in 2006. A Peabody Award is a recognition of meritorious public service by TV and radio stations. The episode was about Huey's dream of Martin Luther King's return.
      Mr. Elkin if you're reading this right now holy shit seriously dawg fo realz you should watch this show, it's really fucking good. It's right there! Watch it!
