And here is a list of the "top" critics, which actually rated it worse at 42%. That means that 58% of all reviews were lower than a 3/5. Here are some gems:

ER Shipp from the NY Daily News: "I don't think there is enough Botox in the world to keep me watching and wincing and still keeping it together. I'll tune out."

Nancy Franklin from The New Yorker: "It turns out you can be controversial without being the least bit interesting."

Maureen Ryan from Chicago Tribune: "The first episode of the new series, is the television equivalent of a slap upside the head."

Hal Boedeker from Orlando Sentinel: "The Boondocks produces more uneasiness than chuckles"

Which goes to my previous posts' point. 2005 was certainly a time of "We love black creators as long as they make white productions".

That said, the positive reviews are far more thoughtful.
