The Untold Truth Of The Boondocks
Ойын-сауық
The Boondocks was an extremely popular show on Adult Swim, but it was not without its controversy. The show, which was created by Aaron McGruder, started as a webcomic, but McGruder immediately ran into trouble when he tried to turn it into a newspaper comic strip. Eventually, the mix of comedy and social commentary proved to be a big hit, and Adult Swim aired the show from 2005 to 2014. Even if you’re a big fan of the Freeman family, there might be a lot you don’t know about this show, so let’s take a look at the untold truth of The Boondocks.

More Boondocks coming! Thanks 4 letting me know. I wasn't too impressed with season 4 now I know it's probably down to the creator not being involved. Hold up damn, Grandad ain't with us anymore! R.I.P John. Maybe more Boondocks isn't required after all but damn I'll always love the first 3 seasons and love to Regina!
Maybe that’s why grandad cried after Riley painted that couple, maybe it was McGruder and his spouse, reminding grandad of two heartfelt people he kept close now gone

"Huey, Riley & Granddad were not just property, They are my fictional bloodline relatives" That's deep, i'm sure a lot of artists of all kinds can relate to that. When you've spent so long on a project you created, it becomes a part of you. I know it sounds cliche but it's true.
This show was always one of my top 3 shows in general. From beginning to end. This show was one of the most realistic while being completely crazy and insane.
It's figures are not going to talk about the underbelly of how they offered the son of John Witherspoon JD Witherspoon to pay tribute to the role that his father date of Granddad and yet they gave him the runaround and gave it to someone else. Even though they said JD was perfect for the role.
This show is an integral part of my childhood, no doubt. I love this show soooo much 🤙🏾
I remember the MLK episode. I remember how hard it hit. And years later i remember reality imitating art. Seeing McDonalds and others turning a dime off his image. Years ahead of his time, under appreciated, and truly insightful. I really expected to run for years like South Park.

All interesting stuff. I wondered what happened to that show I found while watching GiTS on a late weekend night. It was a show that I looked forward to each weekend. damn.
The irony is that BET called the show harmful because it informed US about what's really happening! Uncle Ruckus was a clever idea for a character. He was too raw and truthful for "BET"! They rather have Tyler Perry reboots!
