Lmaoo. One of my favorite scenes let alone favorite episodes.

Like someone said earlier, so much has gone on with pop culture, politics, etc that this season should be lit. I'm excited.

'The Boondocks' returns, but without creator Aaron McGruder

"The Boondocks," the edgy animated series based on Aaron McGruder's comic strip about 10-year-old black militant Huey Freeman and his gangsta-wanna-be younger brother Riley living in the suburbs with their grandfather, is returning April 21 for a fourth and final season on Adult Swim.

However, there's a catch. McGruder, who created the series and was its key creative force, is not along for the ride.

A press release from Sony  Pictures Television, which produces the series, noted that the new season "was produced without the involvement of Aaron McGruder, when a mutually agreeable production schedule could not be determined."

Representatives for McGruder could not be reached for comment.

The announcement comes as a surprise: Since launching the strip in 1999, McGruder, who is developing a live-action comedy "Black Jesus" for Adult Swim, has been extremely protective of the property and the Boondocks characters.

The Peabody Award-winning series has been a hot button for Adult Swim since its premiere. The Rev. Al Sharpton and others lashed out at the relentless use of the "N-word" in episodes.

McGruder has taken on several iconic African American figures in the show and angered Tyler Perry  when he made fun of the filmmaker in an episode that portrayed a Perry-like figure as a closeted cross-dresser who used religion to hide his lifestyle.

The series last aired in 2010.

Returning to the new season as the voices of Huey and Riley is Regina King, and John Witherspoon  is  returning as the voice of Robert "Granddad" Freeman.

If I'm correct, he has always been the driving force behind the show. He simply sold away the animation rights to an Asian company (which is why the animation looks anime-ish). But the content if I'm correct has always been overseen by him. To me this is a major let down.

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

There's always got to be a catch..

 

[mugen81]

 

[hood17]

Sucks but I guess ill still watch.

 

[iYen]

boondocks without the ..... who created it?

 

[guzzy]

& Now we wait

 

[mistamidnight]

Damn, no Mcgruder? They better not make this a lame season.

 

[harlemtothebronx]

Terrible news.:x

 

[furiousstylez23]

It will probably be even better. Real talk. Now you get a better POV from different minds.

I can see this season seeing as he had a hand in it be hit and miss... the ones he had say will be golden...and the ones he didn't will be on some how Chappelle show was when they used scraps and footage and their ideas etc...w/o Dave himself..

I also believe w/o his insightfulness and awareness and his political input...this will turn into cartoon minstrel show...That will draw a different type of audience... the maury/springer/wshh etc...type of crowd

 

[ihust1e]

Only time well tell.

It does look bleak but let's give the first episode a try before we crucify the season

 

[mistamidnight]

This is also the last season; so I hope Sony doesn't **** up. That would suck if the series went out wack.

 

[Arthur Shelby]

Damn
