The Boondocks (TV Series)

The Boondocks is an American animated series created by Aaron McGruder, based upon McGruder's comic strip of the same name. The show begins with an African-American family, the Freemans, having moved from the South Side of Chicago, Illinois to the fictional, peaceful and mostly white suburb of Woodcrest. The perspective offered by this mixture of cultures, lifestyles, and races provides for much of the comedy in this series.

The series premiered on November 6, 2005. The 15-episode Season 1 ended on March 19, 2006. Season 2 premiered on October 8, 2007. (Two of its 15 episodes, "The Hunger Strike" and "The Uncle Ruckus Reality Show," were not aired, but they appeared on the DVD release.) Season 3 began airing on May 2, 2010 and concluded on August 15, 2010. On May 9, 2011, an interview with John Witherspoon was uploaded to YouTube, in which he stated that a 20-episode Season 4 will be made.
