5/5 Boondocks
  by Lawrence Bryant
If you like the first season then you will probably like the second also. Some shows will seem to be a repeat of the first season but I look at them as more of a continuation of the first season. I enjoyed the second season as much as I did the first.

5/5 GOOD LAUGHING
  by Cleveland Son (USA)
It is for adults due to its graphic nature, so if you're an adult then buy it! Of course you have to not get offended easily. It is a satire of african american life. So with that said, satires--from literary to cartoons--often push the envelope. It is very creative in similar ways to the Simpsons or south park. Although it is funny, it often gets you to think about the society we live in because satires often infuse the truth, sometimes scary truth, into the script. Of course kids watch it despite the warnings, so it might be important to watch and be able to speak on the show with them. There are lessons in everything...plus we can't shelter kids from everything, all the time. I give it five stars because it is pretty much perfect.

5/5 Boondocks Season 2
  by Book Cook (Atlanta, GA)
Love, love, love this series. Great writing and the messages are well executed. Funny, funny, funny, unfortunately much of it is so true.

Boondocks: Complete Second Season Summary Movie Dvd

Fans of Aaron MacGruder's The Boondocks (based on his popular daily comic strip) should take note that all 15 episodes of the fearless animated series are included on this second-season boxed set. While complete seasons should be a given for the DVD presentation of most television series, most programs didn't undergo the same level of scrutiny and negative press as The Boondocks, which saw two of its second season episodes pulled from its network run over allegedly offensive statements about the cable channel BET and its senior executives (including filmmaker Reginald Hudlin, who is also credited as executive producer on The Boondocks). Both episodes--"The Hunger Strike" (which sees Boondocks hero Huey Freeman protest BET's negative programming) and "The Uncle Ruckus Show" (BET airs a reality series built around the self-loathing title character) - are presented here in their entirety, and include fairly straightforward commentary by MacGruder and producers Rodney Barnes and Carl Jones which, while never going so far as to point fingers at individuals who may have caused the episodes to be banned, does provide a succinct history of the troubles they incurred for the show. It should also be noted that while both episodes are solid and ruthless pieces of satire, they're not the high points of the season--episodes that strike a stronger balance between humor and social commentary include "… Or Die Trying" (Granddad, Huey, Riley and Jazmine sneak into a screening of Soul Plane 2: The Blackjacking! and wrangle with Uncle Ruckus), "Invasion of the Katrinians" (Granddad learns to regret taking in his displaced New Orleans relative Jericho, voiced by Cedric the Entertainer), and "The Story of Catcher Freeman" (a Rashomon-like take on the history of the Freeman's saintly ancestor). These and others come closest to achieving the level of quality of "The Return of the King," the best episode of The Boondocks' first year, and do much to suggest that the show will continue to hit high-water marks in subsequent seasons.

In addition to the previously mentioned commentaries, MacGruder, Barnes and Jones are heard on two other episodes ("Stinkmeaner Strikes Back" and "The Story of Gangstalicious, Part 2"), and MacGruder is seen in video introductions for the banned episodes, as well as a making-of featurette which profiles the behind-the-scenes elements of the show in detail. "Trouble in Woodcrest" is a light-hearted look at a supposed feud between voice talent Cedric Yarbrough and Gary Anthony Williams, while "What N****s?" pokes fun at criticism of the show's use of the epithet by compiling footage of the voice-over artists repeating it in recording sessions. Five-minute interviews with the main cast and minisodes of "Spider-Man" and "Married… With Children" bring the extras to a close. -- Paul Gaita
