Quotes:

Huey Freeman: [after preventing an innocent convict from being executed] Maybe there are forces in this world we don't understand. But I still believe we make our own miracles. Shabazz K. Milton was not yet free. But for now, the mission had been accomplished. I decided to take the rest of the day off. I wonder if there's anything good on TV.

The Boondocks Theme

The Boondocks is a great show.

This is a great show. And it is not a insult to black people as others have commented on. This show brings out the humor in my society(Black America)with a positive message and subtle lesson to be learned in every episode. It's just sad that people have such short attention spans and can't focus past the obvious humor of the show to see what lies beneath. Not to mention that each show basically has to be a learning lesson for white culture with every detail being explained in order for some to get it. The boondocks is a great animated show and deserves praise for it's honesty and creativity. Trust me it's a must see show.
