Martin Luther King Jr will be revived on The Boondocks tonight
I don't know if DU'ers have been paying attention to this show, but it is amazing in grasp and reach in its social commentary.

And tonight at 11 PM Eastern Time on Cartoon Network, "Dr. King will be coming back to life in the post-9/11 era"

It should be awesome.

1. Love the comic strip, haven't seen much of the show...

...saw one that was hilarious, others that weren't very good.

But you gotta wonder how they're going to pull this little "revival" off.

4. Let us know--don't have cable so I only see it if over my father's
or at friends' homes!

They sort of revived MLK in today's strip--Grandpa had a dream...

6. Great Show...the R. Kelly trial episode was HILARIOUS
"You a fan of R. Kelly...you wanna help R. Kelly?
Then get some counseling for R. Kelly...
Introduce him to some older women...
Hide his camcorder..."

7. NAACP Image Award
"You know how hard it is to get one of these?" -- R. Kelly's lawyer

Random guy -- "I got one!"

It's funny because the show has ironically been NOMINATED for the NAACP Image Award -- the same one it mocked!
