Black Jesus Season 2 on Cartoon Network
Is there enough interest in this show to even warrant a discussion?
It's Aaron Macgruder's follow-up to The Boondocks, a live action show featuring Slink Johnson as Jesus in Compton CA. Also featuring Charlie Murphy, John Witherspoon, and Corey Holcomb.
The first season was hit or miss. Most of the story centered around the group trying to start a marijuana farm on a vacant lot, and as a non-smoker, most of it fell flat for me. But this year seems to have a much better premise, as Jesus leads everyone in opening a ministry, because as he says, "Pop said he wants us to go legit".
Season opener had a great bit as Jesus returns to the neighborhood after a stay in a mental institution.
"Hey, it's Jesus!"
"Welcome back Jesus!"
"Good to see you Jesus!"
"Jesus, I can't find my keys"
to which Jesus replies "Living room sofa, left cushion. And stop losing every damn thing!"
This week was a winner as well, with Keith David as a money-hungry preacher.
