Description:

Based on the syndicated comic strip of Aaron MacGruder one of only a few African American cartoonists and arguably the most successful this animated show appeared on the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. MacGruder satirizes race relations and contemporary culture in a dry cynical way that pulls no punches and generates a great deal of controversy along the way. The show follows protagonist Huey a 10-year-old revolutionary-in-training and Riley his 8-year-old brother and future gangsta. The boys have been moved from their home on Chicago's South Side to the suburban "boondocks" to live with their grandfather where they get into trouble and comment freely upon the idiosyncracies--to put it mildly--of the white people in whose culture they are now immersed. In season one Huey and Riley debate R. Kelly Huey directs "The Adventures of Black Jesus" for the school Christmas play and Grandad opens up Woodcrest's first soul-food restaurant.System Requirements:Running Time 318 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 043396146136 Manufacturer No: 14613

4Great Quick Service on Boondocks 1St Season Box Set  Nov 04, 2009
This DVD set arrived within days of placing the order. The physical DVD's were in great shape. I'm happy with this purchase

5Great Show  Oct 16, 2009
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.

5Best Social Commentary EVER!  Sep 09, 2009
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.

5Best Cartoon, Ever  Jul 15, 2009
I thoroughly enjoy the Boondocks, it makes you think, laugh, and think some more. I hope a third season is on the way.

5One of the best!  May 28, 2009
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.
