Damn man it’s kinda heartbreaking 💔 to hear them him and Aaron r still on bad terms I thought they had settled their differences and became friends again but that’s not the case sadly
I was upset that the reboot got scrapped at first, but now that I think about I'm happy because the original boondocks (season 1-3) will remain as a masterpiece and trying to replicate it may actually harm the greatness of boondocks.
I never watched one episode of Season 4 upon learning that McGruder and Carl Jones weren't a part of it. I'm entirely confident I missed nothing of value.
My ex girlfriend introduced me to the Boondocks and she told me she was obsessed with it. Then I became obsessed. Definitely a masterpiece that will stand the test of time.
Imaging if the first Episode was titled RIP GRANDAD, with a funeral opening no jokes, with Huey and Riley having to go live back in Chicago…mannn we all go watch!
Aaron Mcgruder was ahead of his time...Guy's like that always disappear before all the BS starts happening because they see it a mile away before everyone else 💯

Making the Freeman family poor and indebted to someone was stupid. Why base a whole bunch of shows around this ? We've SEEN this before in 70's shows. Season 4 was out of character for the premise of the show.
If i was in charge giving them all the support and motivation in the world to this team i would have: Season one: Jan 2004 Season two: 2005 Season three: 2006 Season four: 2007 Five: '08 Six: '09 Seven: '10 Movie: 2012 and call it a day.
Wasn't he the one that took over the position that Carl and Aaron held on the show? Yeah, he might be a good writer...but that doesn't always translate to being a creative director.
The 4th season was crap. All it was was the Freeman family trying to avoid losing their house and getting into a bunch of shenanigans trying to save it. It was the same thing almost every episode.
4:00 "Aaron didn't want to use him" I really wish we could unpack that and get some clarification on the JD Witherspoon voicing Grandad situation. It was alluded that the studio didn't want him, but I guess was Aaron?
It's not that hard to understand. The suggestion was that JD voice Grandpa because John was deceased. I can see why Aaron wouldn't want to go through with that on a regular. JD is not the same as his father. John WAS Grandpa. No amount of imitation would hide that fact over time. Also, Aaron probably has some fond memories of working with John. He'd just know it wouldn't be the same.
Yeah I was always wondering why Aaron wasn't around for Boondocks Season 4. I mean, I guess he wanted to focus solely on Black Jesus, but it was just a bad choice imo. Black Jesus was never really entertaining or interesting. Boondocks season 1-3 had sooooo much charm, was ahead of its time and also tackled real world event, changing it into a hilarious parody.
S.4 had a few good episodes in my opinion Pretty Boy Flizzy, Breaking Grandad, and I dream of Siri. All the others were mediocre at best. I hated Ed Wuncler II character. And the Freemans struggling in Woodcrest made it even worse. Hope these 2 could reconcile and at least try to give us a movie.
Thanks so Much Vlad for clearing this out, because just last week I watched the rerun of BOONDOCKS and all the way to the Season3 and was enjoying the series reliving those moments I watched it years ago until I got to Season 4 which everything went off the rails, something was just missing I could feel it. But now I know why
Season four DIDN'T EVEN HAVE ED & RUMMY! 🤦♂️👎 what an insult. I vowed never to watch S4 again, sadly i still remember it clearly like an embarrassing memory from your childhood, lol.

Simply put, these men created the feeling we know and love from boondocks. Once you try to replace that it never works.
Facts…just like Scary Movie
Walking Dead is a prime example. Frank Darabont left after the first season and slowly became something outside of his vision.

This was a moment in time. Glad I bought the dvds as a teen.
Including Season 4

The very last episode had Riley racing r**ards. That said it all.
Became a caricature

For the culture alone imma need them to come out wit 3 more szns. From movies like Get out and they clone Tyrone we need that boondocks commentary man
The Boondocks would get canceled for sure in this day and age. It would be dope if they could rekindle that magic.
As soon as that show ended, the country became one long Boondocks episode.

How can you make the boondocks without John witherspoon

It don’t hit like boondocks he’s absolutely right
They tried the reboot but John witherspoon died soon after they announced it. John witherspoon played granddad.

Tragedy they didn't make it to atleast 6 and relase a movie
Now that pops died we never getting that shit
The only two good episodes from season four were written by Rodney Barnes, who wrote on the first three seasons.
Wasn't he the one that took over the position that Carl and Aaron held on the show?
Yeah, he might be a good writer...but that doesn't always translate to being a creative director.
I hope they can make amends bro not even to make dope ass content its just sad to lose a friend like that you can tell it hurts Carl
Vlad, you buggin. Black Jesus was hilarious!
I mean.. dude can't have an opinion? Lol
Season 3 wasn't it
Charlie Murphy character was legit the best part of the show, brought something else
Yooooo that's Tubesteak loool IYKYK
We know
I hope somebody can get Aaron and Carl to sit down at some point but I also understand some relationships ain’t worth revisiting
Perfection is the enemy of good...
You can tell the OGs wernt involved for season 4 that shit was mid compared to the others
People want a revival (continuation) of _The Boondocks,_ not a fucking a reboot.
U can't, john witherspoon is dead, who can replace him as grandad, cmon now
@ronaldwhite8220 his son sounds just like him. Real talk. He could do it
@@dannisdiamondsand Carl just said Aaron doesn't want to go that route.
Yea Season 4 is horrible. I tried to lie to myself and say it was good when it was airing 😂

Wow. That's heartbreaking.
Man somebody go have to apologize..this shit breaking my heart…they clearly both want to do The Boondocks…AARON PLEASE BRO 🥲
The last episode of season 4 was my fav the special olympics one😂😂
Season 4 doesn’t even exist as far as I’m concerned.
I was gonna say he cut him off when he was gonna talk about not talk in13years ...but this is the guy that argues with the outlaws about 2pac

Season four is terrible, I don’t acknowledge it at all. seasons 1 to 3 are the golden era of boondocks.
How would he knows these things if he ain’t spoke to dude in 13 years ? Damn vlad you be aggy sometimes
Probably still talk with people that keep in touch with Aaron. You know, on some "I heard that Aaron..." type stuff.
I watched a couple episodes of season 4 and carl and aaron’s absence is jarringly apparent.
There’s something so Meta about Carl and Aaron being like Huey and Riley…
What happened to the Albert Hughes interview

The reboot would've been on HBO Max
