I Love Boondocks
The episode "Return of the King" is my all time favorite, but tonight's "The S-word" and it's depiction of Ann Coulter as a woman who pretends to be Republican as she bails her thug-style boyfriend out of jail?...HA!
And the armed to the teeth little old white women "Sisters of the Second Amendment"? HA! HA!
And Samuel L Jackson's cameos every once and in awhile as Gin Rummy 
DH doesn't (or should I say didn't?) like it when it first aired. I think Huey dreaming of 'telling white people the truth' "May I have your attention, please. Jesus was black and Ronald Reagan was the devil" may have turned him off a bit.
It would be an understatement to say Aaron McGruder is opinionated. I certainly don't agree with everything on the show, but I do love to have my thinking challenged. We all should.
I wish he'd start his comic strip back up though... 
Sooooo, who else watch's Boondocks?
Any other Cartoon Network favorites?

Alas, Futurama is now aired on Comedy Central not Cartoon Network.
I heard they're putting together a movie too.

Really? I didn't know they switched...but it's been a while since I've watched.
Have you seen the Aqua Teen movie? |

Just bits and pieces. I do intend to one day actually sit down and watch it and several dozen others.
I imagine it is entertaining, no?

I have to admit that I haven't watched it the entire way through either, even though I bought it as soon as it came out. I'll get on that, and let you know  |

I recently got both seasons of The Venture Bros. and they're both incredible. If you like comics and superhero stuff, this one will have you rolling. I really hope the network greenlights another season.
Actually, that's my problem with Adult Swim. So many of the shows inherently appeal to a small market segments, so many of them never get past a season or two. (Squidbillies springs to mind here...)
But it really blows with serials like the Venture Bros. Those guys have a multi-arc story going strong over those two seasons, and it'd be a real shame if it ends so far from resolution. I guess they should have been less ambitious, but the potential is what grabs you...
Oh, and Cookie, it's good to see you back 'round these parts!

Adult Swim is...is...
WONDERFUL
Torgo, I swear they've started in with new Squidbillies. They aired one after Boondocks the other night I had not seen.
(Computers take over, end all of our problems, make the world a better place---- turns out their gay so they end up in the trash heap---was that a rerun?)

a friend of mine and i used to hang out on fridays and end up staying up very late watching adult swim. 2-3 a.m. funnnnnnny. and if it was a rerun, we'd just hop over to comedy central or sci fi for a dr. who rerun. |

Dunno, I'm not sure I've seen all of them. But that's a new one to me...
[geek]
On another note, I recently picked up the first season of Justice League Unlimited, and it too is really good superhero fare. Really well done...
Of course, I was a Marvel guy all my life, so I spent much time on Wiki trying to assimilate the DC lore as I was watching... Lol another time sink, it's, like, an enormous amount of information...

"Timesink" was the term we always used in Everquest... Nothing like watching a monitor for 72 hours for a random pop of a mob you need for stage six of a 24-stage quest... And then half the time some other guild would kill-steal it after you've been awake for three days straight...
*shudder
Anyway, I love comics and gaming and collectible card games and role playing, so obviously...

LOL
PS - Adult Swim still rules!
