'THE BOONDOCKS': Ten Classic Moments to mark tonight's return
Aaron McGruder's "THE BOONDOCKS" returns -- finally -- for its third and "final" season.
Long-awaited. Much-anticipated. It'll be good to have McGruder's refreshing, bracing commentary back in the mix, with more rants against celebrity "culture," rappers and posers and outspoken "role models" -- and of course, the entire American power structure, including the Obama adminstration,
The third-season debut is Sunday night at 11:30 on Adult Swim, which is marking the premiere online with clips of "the best moments from Season 2." And Post TV critic Hank Stuever reviews the start of Season 3.
To mark the season debut, Comic Riffs offers Ten Classic Moments from "The Boondocks." Feel free to share your own below:
