cool

This was a funny show that appeals to adults AND children above the age of 10 at least. The reason why I say that, is because there are millions of children who have heard curse words and/or use them, whether in front of their parents or behind their backs. This show has most of the words censored, which shouldn't make it much of a problem as far as language is concerned. There is no nudity, but there is references to anal rape("...If I drive under the influence, I could kill me, you, somebody's baby...Or worse, I could get arrested and go to jail and get anally raped") and/or homosexuality or the word "gay" which may or may not be offensive, but practically everyone knows and uses that word, and if you don't know you must not live in america. It also contains the "N bomb". Now for black audiences, which is the larger intended audience that the show was actually made for, we already know what that word is, because it's in most black teenagers or black people in general's vocabulary and in most of their dialogue anyway. The reason why the show has these words is to place realism, and to relate, or let people who watch relate, to black people as well. If you want to guard a child from even the slightest hint of anything even REMOTELY bad in your opinion, then they are going to be crippled as human beings when they grow up. If you just tip toe around racy subjects and such, then how will the child react to these things when they get older? There isn't any nudity, and if there was, it's only in the uncut episodes on DVD, so don't worry about that. The closest things to sex were the above mentioned, and dialogue about a certain type of sex, references or involvement with prostitutes and pimps. But these things are possibly already known about if your child plays things like "Grand Theft Auto" and/or watches things like pornography. All I can say is, if your child has heard curse words from you or anyone else, just tell them not to use it, and it's okay in that regard. If your child has ever looked at or seen a girl that they liked, or even knows what a butt is, then language in that regard is okay. If the words "Pimps" and "Prostitutes" and any words related to those are in your child's vocabulary(and it probably is, unless you've been living under a rock with your family), they can watch it. If the word sex is in their volcabulary, or if they have ever read hospital tracts or had sex ed classes, then the word sex, which possibly may be the only word even close to sex besides the above mentioned things are okay. If your child attends history class, hangs around black youth at school, on the internet, or anywhere else, and if your child is black, white, or mexican, then the word "negro" or "n*gga" is already heard of, and they can definately watch the show because that word is the main thing placing it in the TV-MA category. If the above things beside that word were the only problems with the series, it'd have a PG-14 rating, and 13, or if your child watches family guy, then younger, if possible.

The Boondocks is very, Very funny and has never disappointed me. But while the show is very funny, it's a very adult suggested T.V. show. The boondocks show isn't like the comic strip. While many comic strips are in the show they are laden with drinking to excess, prostitutes (called hoes), pimps, graffiti, street fighting, fear of anal rape, and many more things. There is very strong language, which include a*s, D**n, S**t, b***h, b*****d, p***k, f**k, and the n-word. All characters swear and (with the exception of huey) make unwise decisions (some are very racist, some are very reckless). I cannot really recommend an age for this show, because it all depends on how mature your child is. If you child knows all these swear words, the n-word, and about the subject material, the the show is fine. Make sure that is your kids don't understand all the references, then guide them through the episode and tell them that really no one in the show is that good of a role model (especially not Uncle Rukus)

GUN! This show is f'd up. This show is screwed in the head racist. This show was racist to white people. But that Uncle R person should say that because it was like racist in the first few episodes. They use the N word in the cartoon and white gets mad because they cant say it. Oh my god... dont watch this screwed in the head show. The new White did not do anything to the new Black.

The Boondocks is a great show that is meant for older people. Yes you can watch it with your kids and discuss it with them. As issues arise during the show. To make sure they understand, the points that are being made. It will have you laughing and clapping through out the show. It is a wonderful change from the Simpsons.

Definitely complex enough that younger kids will miss the message, but much like the comic strip it's both controversial and very intelligent. Watch with them, and talk about it.

This isn't your "average" cartoon. It's for grownups and it's nice to see this cartoon strip make a neat jump to the TV. If you know boondocks and love boondocks, you will love this show.

this iz ma show! huey iz always the good one, while the other characters are all ghetto. this show iz just one big racial joke. they make black & white jokes nonstop.that's not all. countless fights with drugs, guns, money and blood. you find this show in your local newspaper so it isn't all that bad.

you parents are all... ugh. the boondocks is one of my favorite anime shows. it is FUNNY!!!! parents should just... go away. god. listen... it might have a cuss words, and sex, and violince but it is very awesome and i really like it. they are very funny.

i like watch boondocks its very nice

First off, I recognize this review was made three years ago when The Boondocks first took off with Season 1. But since the second season has been finished, this should be updated. Nothing has changed in terms of quality. The Boondocks is wonderful in animation, plot, voice cast, wit and most big things that make up a good show. Language is just as shocking to the sensitive as well, including the use of the word 'nigger'. However, sexual content has rocketed a bit. There is sex shown, although very chaste, and scenes at strip clubs. Commercialism (which isn't a big deal to me, but might be to others) is pretty big, too, but that might not be anything to worry about. The two episodes I am directing towards that point brutally at BET are banned for...well, nobody knows why, but it's only on the Season 2 DVD set. Overall, The Boondocks is a highly offensive, but absolutely wonderful show. It shouldn't be shown to the sensitive and should be off limits to ANYBODY that can't handle it. That includes every kid under 11, and most under 16. I shouldn't even be watching it at 12 years old, but I'm part of the minority that can watch this without making a negative impact on anybody. If you can truly do that, you can watch this brilliant, brilliant show.

This show is not for kids or litle kids that are 7-12 years old its more of a show for adults, teens, and older teens. TIP FOR PARENTS YOU REALLY WANT TO LET YOUR 10 YEAR OLD SON/DAUGHTER WATCH A SHOW WITH VIOLENCE, CRUDE HUMOR, STRONG LANGUAGE, AND VERY DIRTY AND EXPLICT WORDS I DON'T THINK SO. I'VE SEEN IT ONCE AND I LIKED IT.

omg great show its awsome and sooooo funny but the language is extremly explcit and pervasive and sexual diolouge is regular drugs are referenced

This show is like an all-black South Park. That said, it's not for children. It has some violence and a LOT of bad language. However, each episode has a moral and that's why I recommend it to older teens.

this hits every point of being black in america. i know i have a huey n a riley in my house. let me show the real meaning of this series. riley is a stero typical black kid in a white neighbor hood. hes violent crazy homophobic sexist. but hes real tough loves to make money loves music and likes to be the "man". huey is less sterotypical but the realist of what it is. hes racist brusque fast loves action and loves to get on his soap box all pissy and rant about what he ant gettin. and white supremsy and such... but hes loving to his family loves his brother wants to make a change extremely intelligent to the point that hes a terroist. funny as hell (they both are) and loving thats why we watch.

Being a big fan of the comic strip, I love this show, although I think the strip is a teensy bit better. Yes, there's the n-word and some bad behavior, but the anti-racist message that this show sends is a good one. Yes, it makes fun of white people, but it makes fun of black people too, and overall, it's clever and humorous. Being white and growing up in an area with lots of racial discrimination (against whites and blacks) I know exactly what this show talks about. You must be mature and open-minded to watch this. Don't just blow it off because of a little language.

...but they're just words, its everyday talk. Oh yeah, most of the bad words are BLEEPED out. The word NI**A is just about every sentence by this kid named Riley (future gangsta 8 yeras old) and Granddad. the social behavior is iffy. huey freeman is way obsessed with government issues.

This show is very good but is not suitable for people under 15. It does have a lot of language and violence and some sex in it.
