boondocks, eh?

[Tanni Foemangler]

so i guess the show's been out for long enough that a few of you have seen it. i caught an episode and was pretty disappointed. nigga moments were funny at first but got old REAL fast and the bebop riffage didn't do it for me at all

anyone else? impressions?

[darkon]

It gets its point across well (Which most people unfortunately don't get, but oh well) and all. It has its moments and all. Like most shows.

I just saw it last night. It wasn't bad. John Witherspoon as the grandpa fits like a glove.

I saw the first episode and didn't think much of the show at all.

But after watching the rest, I can say without a doubt that this is quite a funny show.

Give it chance, it'll grow on ya.

Favorite episode was the X-Box killer. Samuel L. Jackson's guest appearance was hysterical.

It's an alright show. Certainly better than the majority of TV shows out there, but it's no Stroker and Hoop. (Stroker and Hoop = best Adult Swim show ever.)

[Samurai Drifter]

I think it's one of the funniest shows on Adult Swim.

[Ceraziefish]

I love the comic but I haven't gotten around to remembering to watch the show.

[Battle_Pope]

I've been forgetting to watch it, must've watched the first 4-5 episodes though. It was OK, nothing special though. After watching the first episode I thought it would get somewhat better from there, but it kinda stayed the same.

I loved it how he picked on his character from Pulp Fiction the entire show, I was laughing quite hard.

I love this show, its about the only thing I watch now on Adult Swim

[Tanni Foemangler]

i caught another episode a week or two ago (a feat for someone without cable or the drive to download TV shows) and didn't dig it much. maybe i expected too much or something. bleahh... wrong day to verbalize impressions. i'm going to take a shower

Ruckus is a god.

[Crube]

The Boondocks is probably the greatest show ever when you hardly ever see black people =X

UPN.

The problem with the Boondocks is that the writers have no focus. They have this idea for what constitutes "funny" for the Grandpa and they're not going to rest until you accept that idea, as well.

Like, the best episodes are Huey and Riley-centric (a la the XBox Killer or the Christmas Play). The worst episodes (like the Ho and the first episode) are Grandpa-centric. The only times the worst episodes are funny are when the boys are on-screen, because they make all the jokes.

The writers need to realize that Boondocks is more about the kids than it is about the Grandfather. He's a side-character, a vehicle to move the plot, a one-liner. He's not there to shoulder the entire goddamn episode. Focus more on the kids and you've got a hell of a show.

HARAMBI! HARAMBI!

I saw a bit of one episodes with the Grandpa acting as a sugar daddy to some hooker, and I thought it was funny. zz
