I Like to Watch

Celebrating weirdos and outsiders for their courage, energy and inventive hairstyles, from Sundance's "Iconoclasts" to Aaron McGruder's "The Boondocks."

    Boondocks bad fit for Adult Swim?

    First of all,why be surprised that a group of white people in Chicago would agree with Huey? Illinois is, as far as I can tell, the most liberal state in the Midwest--hell, we've managed to outpace Minnesota.

    Secondly, while Boondocks may seem like a bad fit for Adult Swim, it does have a certain Anime look which might help it slot in quite well. I'm very interested to see it, though I tend to enjoy the anime less and the weird, shorter shows (Aqua Teen, Tom Goes to the Mayor, Squidbillies) with funkier animation more than the anime--but just the look of it might fit it in nicely with some of the other shows.
