Boondocks, The First Season


I watched the final episode, of the first season of Boondocks last night. I have been thoroughly entertained every weekend, that I haven't been busy or forgot.My favorite episode is the one where Martin Luther King, was brought back to life. When he looked around at the way his people were behaving. He asked the question "is this what I fought for"? In my opinion that was the highlight of the season. It has provided some insight on touchy subjects, from both sides of the issue. Much like we try to do here on this blog. It has a character for all the different personalities. From Huey B. Freeman the diplomat, to the Uncle Ruckus the degrader. Between the two, you are likely to find someone you agree with.

I look forward to the next season. The writer has taken great pains, not to burn the audience out. We are only given one episode per week. The show is so popular, people were requesting more. Since the writer didn't agree to provide more shows, they started showing reruns. I wish this show was more accessible. More people need to watch. I think it illustrates the diversity of our thinking as a race. Some people may sound stupid, though they have valid points. This show allows you to hear how you really sound. There seems to be a shortage of objective conversation. I consider this show to be one of the few remaining outlets. I hope the second season, will be as entertaining as the first.
