Im trying to find a cartoon to keep the little guy busy while i go get a pie thrown in my face. I found this "toon' channel
#42 on comcast and next up is "black jesus'..WTF IS THAT? thought it was the "Toon" channel? Can you please explain what these kids are being exposed to?
Jesus is white last time i checked and dont think the toon channel should be confusing young kids. I might be in the bedroom awhile and dont want to expose the little booger to something unless I know what it is? Why is a show called black jesus on a kids channel? You have a series recording set up on that show so i thought i could check with you. Thanks in advance. But hurry, im about to munch on a sloppy sponge cake

Reception Edit
Black Jesus has received generally positive reviews. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from critics, the first season received an average score of 73, which indicates "generally positive reviews", based on five reviews.[5] Brian Lowry of Variety gave the series a positive review, saying "Black Jesus is funny in part because it ventures so eagerly into areas most producers and networks, worn down by years of calls for sponsor boycotts and bad publicity, have simply decided it’s easier to avoid."[6] Robert Lloyd of the Los Angeles Times gave the series a positive review, saying "I'm not saying it's particularly deep, and it is filled with language that cannot be reproduced in this newspaper, but it's good-natured and, compared with a lot of what's on television, the comedy is gentle and hopeful."[7] Soraya Nadia McDonald of The Washington Post said, "Like his earthly counterparts, Black Jesus doesn’t have a perfect track record, but he gets the big concepts and leads by example. If anything, it seems McGruder is trying to tell his audience that if Jesus is just like us, maybe it’s not so much of a stretch for us to be just like him."[8] James Poniewozik of Time stated, "You might expect McGruder, given his Boondocks history, to be out for pointed religious satire, but Black Jesus is really more of a stoner hangout comedy with a heart."[9]
International broadcast Edit
The series premiered in Australia on June 8, 2015 on The Comedy Channel.[10]
