1 Stinkmeaner Strikes Back
10/29/07
Season-only
While busily preparing to meet his new online girlfriend, Granddad is accosted by Tom. Though Granddad doesn't see it at first, it's Huey who finally connects his dream with the attack and realizes that it's Stinkmeaner, and not Tom, who's carrying out the assault. With Huey and Riley pitching in, Granddad manages to tie the Colonel down just as his lovely online date arrives. However, despite his efforts to ignore the noises coming from upstairs, Granddad cannot keep her from leaving once she realizes he's been concealing that fact that he has a possessed man strapped to Riley's bed. Upset over losing his new girlfriend so quickly, and knowing he has to do something to rid Tom and the family of Stinkmeaner's ghost, Granddad calls on Uncle Ruckus to perform an exorcism. Armed with a whip, a noose, a nightstick and a branding iron, Ruckus sets to work on Tom, yet makes little progress in driving out Stinkmeaner's spirit. But with a tip from rapper Ghostface Killah, Huey employs the one weapon that an evil ghost can't resist - harmony and peace - to drive him back to Hell. © 2007 Adelaide Productions, Inc.

2 Tom, Sarah, And Usher
10/15/07
Season-only
It doesn't take long for Granddad and the rest of the Freeman clan to grow tired of Tom's moping around, especially after he learns that his daughter, Jazmine, is excited about the prospect of having Usher as her new dad. Desperate to get rid of Tom, Granddad enlists the services of A Pimp Named Slickback for an intervention to teach him how to handle his wife. Though Tom doesn't approve of the way the pimp treats women, he has to do something once Granddad says he can't stay any longer. And when Granddad notes that he has already used Tom's credit card to pay Slickback's hefty retainer, the lessons begin. Calling on his wealth of knowledge about women, A Pimp Named Slickback begins by teaching Tom how to use disrespect to bring his wife under control. To drive the point home, he enlists one of his girls, Sweetest Taboo, to teach Tom how to use physical violence to establish dominance over Sarah. Then, after another of his girls, Quiet Storm, uses her expertise in surveillance and computer hacking to gather evidence that suggests Sarah is planning to cheat with Usher, Tom decides to confront them. But when he heads them off at the door to the hotel, he is stunned to discover that, instead of arriving for a romantic tryst, Sarah has brought Jazmine there to meet Usher. And when the singer's bodyguards get involved, Tom gets a painful lesson about jumping to conclusions. © 2007 Adelaide Productions, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Once the pair get a look at Granddad's prized car, Dorothy, they steal it for their getaway. Despite being pressed to talk by his distraught grandfather, Riley still refuses to finger the crooks, leaving Tom no choice but to bring him and Granddad in for questioning. With Tom facing a near-revolt when Betty calls for militarizing the Neighborhood Watch, the police try getting Riley and Granddad to crack. But the history of black men who weren't protected after talking to the police is just too frightening, and even Huey and Jazmine can't persuade Riley to tell what he knows to keep him and Granddad from going to jail. However, Ed III and Rummy's effort to rob the Freeman home is more than Granddad can take, especially after he realizes that his Wuncler Security System failed to protect him. And that's when the truth finally spills out - that Ed and Rummy were carrying out the burglaries to drum up clients for the Wunclers' home security business. Yet, after Granddad still refuses to turn them over to the police, Riley wonders if he's done the right thing when they steal his prized bike. © 2007 Adelaide Productions, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

About this show

BOONDOCKS revolves around a boy named Huey and his gangster-wannabe brother who have left the inner city to live with their grandfather in the suburbs. If growing up under the watchful eye of their grandfather isn’t hard enough, being African-American kids adjusting to life in a predominantly white neighborhood has made its outrageously comic and bittersweet moments.

Watch it while you can. Our society would rather FEEL smart than learn & grow a social conscience. This show is smart, hilarious and smashes stereotypes with black KKK members and white Gangstas (Samuel L Jackson & Charlie Murphy). All this with political satire & a call to arms to revolution before our empire falls. Low brow meets high brow, but sadly, too high brow for most. God forbid we demand thisthis level of actual thought and effort in all entertainment. A great show soon to be gone. Too bad

This show is just...amazing. They tell us the truth about the world. I like how on season 4 it became HD. I'm sure by three years or so, the government won't allow us to watch it because it's telling us the truth. Might as well download it. High fructose corn syrup, slavery, pagan and ect, they give little hints. Overall, this show is my favorite show in the whole world. I believe of you extract the cursing, it would be a show for about ten and up. It will tell kids the truth and will let them learn. Finally a cartoon with black people...

Its seriously one of the greatest animated series ever. I love almost all of the characters (especially Huey :) ). It made me think and laugh. I am really gonna miss this show, there's so many more stories to be told, and there are so many more characters that could of been added, like Caesar or more black women(who are not insane or plain stupid). Who knows, maybe it will come back one day with new episodes. I know its unlikely, but as Huey once said in one epi (the MK epi)''Its fun to dream." :)
