The Day The Boondocks Went Away

Season 4 of The Boondocks finished and… (deep sigh) yeah. The show didn’t have creator Aaron McGruder on it this year but that trailer looked so good tho, it looked like we’d make it out okay. Well we made it out and I do not feel okay. Much like when Dan Harmon was released from community the show was just not the same without Aaron McGruder. Now I want it said on the record that I tried Boondocks, I fucking tried man but I couldn’t

This season was like the new manager at the job that has a Masters Degree but no common sense. They keep fucking up the office work flow while getting paid. The entire heart and soul of The Boondocks felt like it was under renovation this season. I’m not sure whats worse, the show not being funny or the blatant disre-… I’m going to go with it not being funny. If this season was funny I could maybe, that’s a gigantic MAYBE, forgive the fuck ups with the character portrayals. Matter a fact lets talk that shit for a minute. This is what pissed me off, the main arc deals with Granddad having to deal with debt. He keeps falling deeper into it which basically has him signing over the house Ed Wuncler Jr. Ed Wuncler Jr’s plans to get them out of debt basically puts them in more debt, which has Grandad and the kids living in the garage renting out rooms in their house. The climax of the this is when Granddad signs a contract that entitles Wuncler Jr to “100 percent of your (granddad’s) time till you pay off the debt”. Huey calls it what it is slaver…
