New York Post

Linda Stasi

Season 1 Review: If you love a big, seriously politically incorrect, brilliantly funny show that delivers belly laughs of the "South Park" quantity, then this one's for you. Read full review

Seattle Post-Intelligencer

Melanie McFarland

Season 1 Review: As hilariously scalding onscreen as it is on the daily comics pages. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Matt Roush

Season 1 Review: Animation has rarely felt so explosively, hilariously defiant.

Detroit Free Press

Mike Duffy

Season 1 Review: Like the frequently audacious comic strip that gave it life, "The Boondocks" doesn't mess around. Read full review

New York Daily News

David Hinckley

Season 1 Review: "The Boondocks," with all its knowingly controversial observations and language, is a sort of animated equivalent of "All in the Family." It'll make you think, and maybe even wince - but at the same time, it makes you smile. Read full review

Orlando Sentinel

Hal Boedeker

Season 1 Review: Deliberate pacing muffles the comedy's energy. Stylish animation clashes with coarse language and situations. Would arty photography help a Mel Brooks movie? Not one with a wobbly script. Read full review

The New Yorker

Nancy Franklin

Season 1 Review: There is not a single fresh moment in the three episodes that have run so far; it turns out you can be controversial without being the least bit interesting. Read full review
