#4 -Most of Boondocks this season has been shockingly bad. I know McGruder has his “ima say whatever the hell I even dream of saying” but most of the dialogue has just been BAD! The country western music show was so bad, me and my husband just sat with our jaws dropped, in disbelief.
Maybe the real Uncle Ruckus has showed up!
