It’s official, the Boondocks is OTH, off the hook! I’ve watched the first episode twice and laughed my head off both times. It really reminded me of some of the best of Sanford and Son with its use of vulgar/common language addressing sensitive subjects. But clearly the Boondocks has a far more militant tone than Sanford and Son would have been allowed if that were the aim of the series. So really any similarities between the two series are mostly superficial. The Boondocks has a lot more going on under the hood than Sanford and Son (or Family Guy for that matter) and the first episode out is good sign of things to come. I only wonder if it will get too hot even for Adult Swim to continue showing. Afterall, we don’t want the white people to riot! Nothing a little cheese couldn’t handle though, maybe some gouda.. 🙂
