The Boondocks is an American animated series created by Aaron McGruder. The Boondocks takes place in the same place and time frame as its comic counterpart. The show begins with the Freeman family having recently moved from the South Side of Chicago, Illinois to the peaceful and mostly-Caucasian 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 first season ended on March 19, 2006. The second season 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.) The third season 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 fourth season will be made.
