"No snitching.” This was the theme for the third episode of the second season
of “The Boondocks.”

The show started off with the simple story of Robert “Granddad” Freeman moving his two grandsons Huey and Riley Freeman from the South Side of Chicago to the squeaky clean suburbs. The result is quite possibly the funniest show on television.

This last episode focuses on the recurring characters Rummy and Wuntzler, who are loosely based on George W. Bush and Donald Rumsfeld, voiced by Samuel L. Jackson and Charlie Murphy, respectively.

This episode’s events focused around a series of thefts in Woodcrest, the upper class white neighborhood where the Freeman family lives. The neighborhood watch suspects the Freemans not only because of racial reasons, but also because they refuse to cooperate with the investigation of the thefts.

This episode was a great one, however. It would be hard to discuss details without giving anything away, and I don’t want to be “that guy.”

The one drawback about this episode was its lack of Huey. Huey Freeman is one of the funniest and most intelligent characters on television, and for sure the best animated one.

When an episode deals with Riley (as this one did), the story arc focuses more on the thug life of Woodcrest. This is not a band thing, but the show is at its funniest when the entire family gets in on the action.

The interactions between the two brothers make the show well worth watching. The new episodes of the Boondocks are just as funny as the old ones, and they are doing this despite lots of changes to the show’s formula between seasons 1 and 2.

If you want hilarious social commentary about the spot where American culture - white and black - meet, the Boondocks is your best choice.

Watch “The Boondocks” at 11:30 p.m. on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim.
