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???

It makes no sense, stopped trying to figure him out years ago. This Obama era should have been the golden age of the Boondocks but AM just disappeared. The comic strip should be still running also even if its just the old ones like Peanuts. There hasn't been a new Peanuts in almost 15 years but they still run the old ones from time to time in the comics...

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"

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...

They ain't letting no educated black man with an ACTUAL message and a platform be the next Matt Groening. I was always surprised at the level of realness they allowed him to get away with in the first place, especially the first season, there are so many gems packed into the first season it's fukking amazing. They found a loophole and TOOK that shyt away from Aaron and it's a fukking disgrace

Did that sht ever actually happen? I usually stop watching shows before they jump the shark like when the wife got replaced in Family Matters. Just a few years ago that surprised the hell out of me when I saw that.

nah, he NEVER struck me as the type of nikka who would draw something out that long,even for money. tbh i was shocked when they announced a 4th season in the first place :manny: shyt actually reminds me of that Huey Freeman christmas episode, nikka made his lil play and only let them run that shyt once, wasn't even interested in watching it after he got finished making it, AM tryna move forward with this black jesus thing. he already proved himself as far as the boondocks are concerned imo
