Re: The Boondocks

I've only seen two and they were hilarious. Boondocks used to be the only comic in the newspaper I found funny anymore, and now it's one of my favorite shows.

I've seen the show and I think it's pretty funny. Not my favorite show on Adult Swim but still funny.

Re: The Boondocks

Ive seen every episode. Among my 3 favorite shows (The Boondocks, Family Guy, The Simpsons)..... And no, I didnt jump on the "Family Guy Bandwagon" like most ppl. I was watching it back when NBC aired 1 (or maybe 2) episodes before Fox bought it. But thats a different story....

Yeah remember Family Guy airing on that time thought it was more then 1 or 2 though. Feeling like it was more along 5 or 6, have no clue what those first episodes are like now don't remember that anymore. Family Guy not particulary my favorite though, but once it a while it has something that's just golden.

Re: The Boondocks

In my opinion, Family Guy is getting kind of weird and lacking in quality. The last one I saw with the pervert musical that went on for 3 minutes was just uncalled for. I do enjoy the Simpsons still though and and can't wait to watch the movie which will be out in 2008, though this date is subject to change. By the way, where can I find the Boondocks comic strip?

It took me a long time for me to warm up to Family Guy's over-the-top humor, but now I'm a fan. Those sequences they do sometimes that go on for uncomfortably long are just part of their style.

Re: The Boondocks

Yeah, great show but ionno if I'd classify it as Anime.

Re: The Boondocks

I do simply because the art style is much along that type. Even though I'm sure I read somewere of someone going on with how Anime was a copy of American art in it's start but either way the draw style still resembles it.

Anything drawn along that style I'll basically call anime. Anything along the style of family guy, american dad, simpsons, garfield, or comes from disney then I won't classify as anime. Ok, disney remark to broad so don't be nitpicking it.

EDIT:

Besides that unless I'm thinking of a different guy I could sworn Aaron McGruder is the one that released those useless "Drawing Manga" books or whatever it was.

Re: The Boondocks

Yeah the anime style of character drawing originated with 1930s American cartoons. Betty Boop is usually referenced for the large eyes and proportions. Obviously the art evolved differently in Japan than in the US, and now, amusingly, American animators are borrowing those points of style back from eastern cartoons. Most people reserve the word anime for work that originates in Japan, but really it's semantics. We all know what we're talking about.

That was last week's Monday-Saturday arc. ^^

Re: The Boondocks

Did you see the one last night where the old angry guy tells the gangster to repeat what they said, because he "couldnt hear them over the sound of him shitting himself."? I fell off the couch I was laughing so hard.
