The Boondocks is an American anime-influenced adult animated sitcom created by Aaron McGruder for Cartoon Network’s late-night programming block, Adult Swim.[1] It is based upon his manga-influenced comic strip of the same name.[1] The series premiered on November 6, 2005. The show focuses on a Black American family, the Freemans, settling into the fictional, friendly and predominantly white suburb of Woodcrest.[2] The perspective offered by this mixture of cultures, lifestyles, social classes, stereotypes, viewpoints and racialized identities provides for much of the series’ satire, comedy, and conflict.
