Boondocks season 3
This show is awesome because the script is built off of stereo types.
Now that Obama is in the picture it will get even better :9
Now "The Boondocks" is back for a third season, either far too late and half-hearted or perhaps right on time, given that the Obama afterglow has faded. It is wedged into Cartoon Network's "Adult Swim" package late on Sunday night, where it is seemingly more safe for tossing around racial epithets and euphemisms for male genitalia and easier to lure upset viewers into an outrage sometimes barely worth having.

McGruder and company try to make up for lost satirical opportunities with an opening episode that retraces the final days and pop-culture frenzy of the Obama campaign, election and inauguration.
The new episode is narrated by a somber Werner Herzog-type documentarian character (holy moly, it actually is Werner Herzog!), who seeks understanding among black Americans about what the election has meant to them and the rest of the country. It's no surprise that McGruder's Boondockians convey themes of national delusion and post-inaugural letdown -- McGruder's fans would expect nothing less, and clearly he's disgusted by the notion of a "post-racial" America and by the dreamy, preening confidence of black culture (especially black celebrities) during the campaign's heyday.
