The Boondocks is produced by Sony Pictures Television. This season was produced without the involvement of Aaron McGruder, when a mutually agreeable production schedule could not be determined.

[QUOTE="Booyakasha, post: 1453383, member: 17381"]You know, I've never watched a single episode of this series. I assume it's rather akin to the comic. Maybe I should check it out some time.
Always nice to see fans get another helping of something they like, at any rate.[/QUOTE]
It's like the comic, but focuses more on social commentary than political. Also, no Caesar.

I watched the series but never understood if I was watching something racist against blacks or if it was something targeted at blacks I didn't get, like rap. Either way, I wasn't a big fan but it had its moments, like the Carlton-guy who was super afraid of prison rape, and any time the black, white supremacist would show up.
I may eventually watch this.

^ The Boondocks would best be described as hard social satire. It's mostly targeted at black audiences, but probably less than the comics were.

I really wish they would have put Caesar in the show. Huey was a much more entertaining character in the comic with Caesar was around to balance him out.
