THE BOONDOCKS (FOX) - Cartoon Network is reportedly finalizing a deal to pick up the failed FOX pilot presentation from Sony Pictures Television, based on the comic strip by Aaron McGruder of the same name. The animated series chronicles the clash of cultures that ensues when two youths from inner-city Chicago, Riley and Huey, move to the suburbs to live with their grandfather. McGruder and Reggie Hudlin are the executive producers of the project.
Double-barrelled Mega-PING! to both lists! If you want on, FReepmail me!
That poorly-drawn "comic" is even less funny than "Doonesbury."
And the downward spiral of TCN continues. Maybe one or two shows worth watching anymore.
Not this sh!t again.
Al Sharpton can be the Grandfather's voice.
I'd better put the bug in my daughters' ears: do not let the kids watch that crap! Whatever happened to Mighty Mouse and Popeye, in addition to all the Warner Brother cartoons?
::Sigh:: a black guy drawing a japanese pop style in America. the blonde twit has always been in the strip. i just hope it either flops or turns into something so wrong, even us ATHF and SL2021 followers leave CTN for more South Park and Drew Carey.
Boondocks may be liberal kookery, but it's still one of my favorite comics.
The only message i've ever gotten from this cartoon is whitey = evil.
Calling it a "cartoon" seems accurate. I remember when there were things called "comics" or "funnies" -- but boondocks wouldn't fit those categories.
Popeye has a lot of leftists views in it from what i recall.
and WB has made some new things like Teen Titans. even then, i recall Tiny Toons being a little pro-Nader once in a while.
I disagree. The writer certainly has "issues", shall we say, but he does frequently take broad swipes against the reactionary attitudes taken by many on the left. I haven't found Doonesbury to be funny in years, but I occasionally get a chuckle out of The Boondocks.
On one hand,this guy drwas in a style I truly like and appreciate. He has "possibilities" as far as his art and potentially a great sense of humor. That said,I consider what he actually says to be wrong,onn more than one occasion untruthful,and more&more often racially stereotyping.
In short,I'd probably want to kick his @ss if he spoputed off to me in the same vein that he usually works his strip in.
When McGruder stays outta politics, "Boondocks" can be funny and enjoyable, but like so many others, he seems to have lost his happy little mind over politics.
They moved over to Boomerang.
An angry young artist named Aaron,
Whose worldview is bleak and despairin'
Had bid us Adieu
Now his venomous spew
Can pollute some boondocks we're not sharin'!
We have a far better cartoon show on Free Republic, drawn by IPWGOP.

I sent the local editor of our fishwrap an email suggesting that Doonesdingleberry and other untalent cartoonists like this should be on the editorial page listed as a liberal hack job.
Sealab and Aqua Teen for me!
There is but only one cartoon worth watching. And my user name says it all starring the funniest, foul-mouthed nine year old from Colorado the myth, the legend ERIC CARTMAN.
thats for d@mn sure
Aaron McGruder is a smiling servant of the DNC.

And people wonder why I treasure my "Girls Gone Wild" DVDs. |
People say those are pretty trashy - ummm...any chance I could borrow them to see what they're talking about?
Give me Auqa Teen Hunger Force over The Boondocks any day.
Shylock rules!
What newspaper is that?
Thanks something like this can help.
Cartoon Network is trashy and disrespectful.
There's nothing normal about cartoons any more.
Thanks for reminding us all that, no matter what the Dems might say, the Republican Party is "inclusive," "tolerant," and a "big tent."
Whatever might have been the worst piece of garbage ever to fall on the Looney Tunes cutting floor, it was infinitely superior to whatever was or will be South Park's finest moment. :O)
Honestly, that's funnier than any real Boondocks strip I've ever read.
The Boondock Brothas only dates white girls. It's like drivin the block in an Escalade with 22s. Word.
Well, I told you..............trashy!
And disrespectful.
To fix it, turn off the TV!
&;-)))
The Cedar Rapids, Iowa Gazette. It's a total joke, though. Get this. They charge for their online version, and it's a day behind the print version!
Eating your spinach is leftist?
[shhh...dude, it's Frylock]
Boondocks? To be completely honest, I might actually check it out. Sure, I might cringe when it becomes too political (which is almost ALWAYS does now), but hey, I have to admit, I still read the comic nearly daily even with it's obvious Bush hating stance.
That being said, it is still, ATHF (I'm almost amazed that there are so many fans here of this show), Case Closed/Detective Conan (though a little too late for me, hey, at it's a decent Sherlock Holmes wannabe anime show), Gundam Seed, YuYu Hakasho, and Teen Titans (yes, I'm a fan of this wannabe anime American show too) for me on The Cartoon Network. South Park on occasion too.
One of my favorite lines sang to the theme song tune as Popeye knits some anchor chain.
Doh! Your right.
Total brain freeze.
What the hell was I thinking.
FRYLOCK RULES!!!!!!!!
he refused to "huart a livin' amnimal" because it was alive (despite it being a bull that was willing to kill him) on more than one case. hes had a few union labour episodes. i can think of two episodes where he claimed "guns are bad, and noone should have them"
yeah. hes got some leftieness.
I can't be quite as sanguine as you because I am perfectly convinced that this fellow would like to take his supper out of my skull since I am a white man, an oppressor.
"Whatever might have been the worst piece of garbage ever to fall on the Looney Tunes cutting floor, it was infinitely superior to whatever was or will be South Park's finest moment. :O)"
If you consider making fun of Hollywood liberals less entertaining than some 60 year old bunny chewing on a carrot cracking recycled jokes over and over again. Or a coyote falling off a cliff for the umpteenth time
You're right about one thing......
You are a geezer
