He then ordered a 15-episode season and told McGruder to just tell stories. Mike Lazzo, president of Adult Swim and executive producer for Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Space Ghost Coast to Coast, stumbled across the pilot and declared it too networky. Hudlin left the project after the Fox deal fell through, though McGruder and Sony Television were contractually obligated to credit him as an executive producer for the first two seasons. McGruder and film producerdirector Reginald Hudlin (President of Entertainment for BET from 2005 to 2008) created a Boondocks pilot for the Fox Network, but found great difficulty in making the series acceptable for network television. The former goal was met first, and The Boondocks debuted in newspapers in April 1999. 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.įollowing these runs, McGruder began simultaneously pitching The Boondocks as both a syndicated comic strip and an animated television series. The show begins with a black family, the Freemans, settling into the fictional, friendly and overall white suburb of Woodcrest.
