I know this is a website about movies that's an extension of a show about movies, but if you're like me, then that means you watch a lot of television as well. And if you're not watching Aaron McGruder's The Boondocks on Cartoon Network, you are missing out on one of the most outrageously entertaining 30 minutes in the pop culture universe.

McGruder's animated spinoff of his celebrated comic strip of the same name skewers everyone from self-serving politicians to hypocritical celebrities, often in a profane manner.

Here's a clip from the 2nd episode of The Boondocks:

This is the show that during its debut season two years ago had an episode called "The Return of the King," where the late Dr. Martin Luther King, awakened from a coma, launches into a foul-mouthed tirade after seeing the pervasive influence of gangsta rap and the bling lifestyle on urban youths. That episode put the show on the mainstream radar -- mainly because a lot of buttoned-up observers were horrified by an animated Dr. King saying the N-word -- and it won a Peabody Award for distinguished achievement.

Expect more take-no-prisoners satire in season two from the main characters, a militant 10-year-old named Huey and his little brother Riley. McGruder reluctantly gave up the newspaper strip to focus on the TV show, saying the workload was too much to handle. I discovered The Boondocks on TV so I'm happy about his choice. You will be too, if you give the show a chance.

Be warned, though. The Boondocks an animated show, not a cartoon. But adults who like a little social commentary embedded in laugh-out-loud scenarios should tune in Monday nights @ 11:30pm during Cartoon Network's Adult Swim.
