 I started watching this after a few episodes had already aired, and after seeing the first episode I was instantly hooked and have loved it since. It's very funny a lot of the time, but it's also very cleverly written and has a dig at all kinds of things, especially race issues. It's provoked a lot of controversy, especially with the episode that showed Martin Luther King coming back from the dead and using the "N word", but it seems a lot of people don't get what it is trying to say, or the humour at all. Admittedly I had never read the comic strips before watching the show, but I'm definitely a fan now. Look out for the two episodes that feature Samuel L Jackson playing a psycho (and very dumb) white guy who quotes a lot of Pulp Fiction, as well as the episode that has a cameo voice role for John C McGinley (Dr Cox in Scrubs)!  Seriously though, watch this series if you can because it's superb. The 1st season will be done soon but thankfully Adult Swim have already picked it up for a second series! ;D Kaz |

Dear lord this show... Can't say I like it all that much but that's probably because I'm american and the humor's just to cliche and typical due to my outlook of this country. It seems like only the stupidist parts really stick in my head and I don't even find them to be that funny. I can't count the number of times I've been playing video games with friends then suddenly singing "Don't trust them !@#$# over there" ;D

I have one of my friends constantly trying to push this show on me ;D I think it's pretty good and sometimes i agree with the messages but i also agree with what Raiken said about it.
It's definately funny enough to watch but i wish it was more original. It seems whever i see a topic on that show i've already seen a joke done about the same thing before. Alot of times they do jokes on that show based on rumors and sterotypes but try to make it seems like they're revealing a worldly truth or having a deep message. Having Sam Jackson is neat and supprising but i wish they wouldn't have been cheap playing off the pulp fiction stuff. (i do think his character is funny though)
