I feel the skepticism but they can't be that dumb can they? To totally sell out what the show is about? They know it would be full backlash to sell out. I'm not saying it's gonna be good but I have a hard time thinking they'll take away from the essence of the show.
Less controverial, watered down and more weaponized to influence black youth to be stupid.

They already knew what was up. I figured they would take over when Aaron predicted the youth was going to wear skirts just like their favorite rappers. Good or bad, that's a form
of power and it's what is desired at the end of the day. Imagine what they are going to predict what our babies might do next :snoop:

mcgruder was giving out inside information and that shyt got shut down.

Guess Mcgruder is moving onto Black Jesus, so they can take that shyt to.

The Boondocks' fourth season will be its last, Adult Swim announced Friday.

The final season, which was produced without original creator Aaron McGruder, will kick off Monday, April 21 at 10:30/9:30c.

The new season finds Huey, Riley and Granddad encountering a roster of characters, including Granddad dating a long lost Kardashian sister. The voice cast for the final season includes Donald Faison, Aisha Tyler, Terry Crews, Snoop Dogg and CeeLo Green.

This isn't the end of McGruder's partnership with Adult Swim, however. The network recently announced that it had ordered the live-action comedy Black Jesus from McGruder, who will executive-produce along with Mike Clattenburg (Trailer Park Boys), Norman Aladjem and John Bravakis (The Half Hour).

probably sold out to get that "Black Jesus" project off the ground especially after he failed to get that Uncle Rukus project funded. i was wondering why the season all of a sudden was done since it was very apparent that Aaron did NOT want to do it anymore. Sony finally got control of it and put together a season like every other show does. No excuse why there hadn't been more seasons especially at the height of Obama other than Aaron didn't want to do it but in order to get his other projects off the ground he sold his most prized possession...

What I dont understand is why Aaron didnt fight harder to protect his creation? He could have took them to court he doesnt seem like an idiot. If he owns the rights to all his characters he created im sure they are paying him nicely for using their likenesses. He could have had an empire look at matt groening and the simpsons...

he's hoping people don't realize that he sold out. No way he didn't know what was going on, but he stills wants to keep that image he has. Probably starting running out of money, what income has he been making the last few years? Has he been doing anything? Boondocks probably didn't make him FU money where he could just live like he wants forever without doing nothing else...

did season 3 have cause Huey got his ass pushed way back for Riley and Granddad fukkery. We don't know how involved McGruder was in the last two seasons cause he don't say shyt to the fans.

I'll reserve judgement till I see an episode.

He could have made millions, comic books, clothing line, MORE cartoons, Merchandising! there's nothing wrong with selling out in a controlled way. no one says shyt when george lucas sold star wars to disney.... He had creative control for years through all that merchandising. Aaron could have made off nicely and we would have still respected him reguardless. WTF is wrong with him???

Wouldn't be surprised if there was a 5th season and beyond based off the ratings of this 4th season. Adult Swim made the same announcement about Venture Bros but it came back and is staying. They made this announcement to get some buzz around the show and since they don't have to worry about McGruder anymore, they can make more seasons IF it makes "cents"
