Product Description
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.

Amazon.com
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

One of the best 1st seasons ever! February 22, 2010
A. Jones (Washington DC)
The Boondocks is one of the smartest shows on TV and is HYSTERICALLY funny! Aaron McGruder is brilliant. Can't wait for the 3rd season to air!

It been months and I am still watching my DVD, and no funny stuff with with my money. So far, so very good, here is a toast to Amazon. ( I only drink veg, fruit juice, and water), you got my drift.

Whoa!! February 6, 2010
M. Gremillion (Mid Louisiana)
A co-worker and I was talking about shows we watch and he recommended this show. I was blown away. Really a good show in a South Park sense. If you can past the obvious language and "topics/subjects" and think about what it's saying it leaves you wondering sometime "What did I just see?"

Funny and interesting February 1, 2010
Stephanie (Virginia, USA)
I enjoy the Boondocks. At first I didn't really enjoy the show because of the repetitive use of the "n" word. I don't really enjoy the language but the show is AMAZING. It's deep and funny and very interesting as long as you can get past the language. This show is, at times outrageous but its a great show I recommend it to most adults. This is definitely not a cartoon for little kids.
