What Parents Need to Know
About The Boondocks
Parents need to know that even though this show is a cartoon, it's meant for adults, hence its place in the Adult Swim lineup on the Cartoon Network. Younger kids will miss the sociological context that is critical to understanding both the humor and the insight in this cutting-edge show. The most potentially eyebrow-raising part of the show is the language. In nearly every episode there are multiple uses of the "N" word.

I'm suprised that it's rated PG in Canada(on the DVD), it can be fairly raunchy at times. There is some violence(usually without blood), sexual content and profanity including the N-word. It's actually an intelligent spoof on african-american culture and I think it's a great show.
