Trivia:
The controversial nature of the comic strip (as well as Aaron McGruder's insistence on maintaining creative control) lead to several failed attempts to get this series going since 1999. McGruder initially developed "The Boondocks" as a television series before turning it into a strip. Some of the would-be homes of the series included HBO and MTV. In 2003, the FOX network ordered a pilot with the prospect of picking up the series. They eventually passed, only to have the series taken up by Adult Swim.

Vision? What do you know about my vision? My vision would turn your world upside down, tear asunder your illusions, and send the sanctuary of your own ignorance crashing down around you. Now ask yourself, Are you ready to see that vision?

This is a great show. And it is not a insult to black people as others have commented on. This show brings out the humor in my society(Black America)with a positive message and subtle lesson to be learned in every episode. It's just sad that people have such short attention spans and can't focus past the obvious humor of the show to see what lies beneath. Not to mention that each show basically has to be a learning lesson for white culture with every detail being explained in order for some to get it. The boondocks is a great animated show and deserves praise for it's honesty and creativity. Trust me it's a must see show.
