In a nutshell its about a black family from Southside Chicago adjusting to living in a gated community. Most episodes center on outlandish or at times supernatural plots though they can have (almost) normal stories.
It's a great show.

Boondocks is a great show and all but I'm not sure it really fits into the anime category even if some of the fight scenes are based off of anime fights. In short Boondocks is like the Cleaveland show that people actually watch.
The Boondocks doesnt follow a story exactly but it isnt like family guy wer it goes off topic every 5 seconds its probably the best show on right now but its not anime its more anime inspired blacl people tv (im not racist im black)
Technically it is, it's just that it's produced in the United States.
There are stories, though they only last for the episode (with some exceptions) so that, even though you missed the previous episode it won't rob you of any experience for the upcomming one. The main theme in Family Guy is impulsivity, Family Guy doesn't necessarily have bad jokes but the voice actors are worthless the same sterile uncaring voice over and over again with Stewie being the only exception (he's the only one who can formulate a decent "Noooooooooo!" sound).

"The Boondocks" is more like "South Park", than it is "Family Guy" and it's funnier/better written than both. The reason it isn't as popular as those two is because it centers around relatable humor, in specific, relatable to mostly Black people. It rips stories from headlines and uses things that can be considered "inside jokes" that only the African American/urban community would get.
...hilarious,but probably not relatable to older (specifically white) people.
To be fair, neither the writing of Family Guy or South Park are particularly good. The construction of a decent plot follows three simple steps: exposition, climax and denouncement. In short, something is "built up for". Boondocks has that along with great animation and good voice actors.
Thumbs-up to Red Nemesis' avatar, enjoyed the novel?
It does not suck, it's hilarious. Reminds me on the great 1970's sitcoms that focused on social issues, like All In The Family and it's spinoffs (The Jeffersons, Maude, Good Times.)
