I love the nigga moments episodes with Stinkmeaner. The Obama campaign, celebration, and 'betrayal'. Marijuana. I think Huey's fight scenes are epic, but they don't play it out by having him fight often. I love the animation. Anime basically. Or Japanese influenced. I highly enjoyed every episode of all of the seasons. Want more!

I like the Boondocks as well but the actually comic strip trumps the show on many levels they completely neutered Huey for the cartoon. They focus a bit more on the stuff that Riley gets into and Grandpa. Some people reference the Boondocks like that's what actually happens and what black people go through. Sure it's funny but I cringe when some of my friends refer to an episode like it's a fact and how they think it happens the same way in real life because it's their only connection to black culture.
