The Boondocks is an American television program based off a comic strip and created by Aaron McGruder. The comic strip gained much traction and was syndicated to make its debut in newspapers in 1999. Development of a TV series also began at this time and after a few mishaps of being called too "networky", McGruder began to tell stories in the series. The Boondocks is a fictional story about a black family, the Freemans, who have settled in a mostly white suburban neighborhood of Woodcrest, Illinois. The main characters are Huey and Riley, two boys who live with their granddad. Huey is more of the level headed character with a revolutionary spirit. Riley, on the other hand, is more of the loud-mouthed character with a short fuse. They are two preteen boys who must face many obstacles in their daily lives that often get them into deep trouble with the people of Woodcrest. It is worth the view if one is looking for a show that offers a perspective that mixes cultures, social classes, racial identities and stereotypes to provide for a very satirical portrayal of comedy and conflict. A.) The executive producers of this show is Aaron McGruder, Reginald Hudlin, Rodney Barnes, Brian J. Cowan, and Carl Jones. B.) The show has been distributed through Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Sony Pictures Entertainment, and is currently available to stream on Netflix and Amazon Video.
