The Boondocks is an American
adult animated sitcom on
Cartoon Network's late-night programming block,
Adult Swim. Created by
Aaron McGruder, based upon McGruder's
comic strip of the same name, the series premiered on November 6, 2005. The show begins with a
black family, the Freemans, settling into the fictional, peaceful, and mostly
white suburb of Woodcrest. The perspective offered by this mixture of cultures, lifestyles, social classes, stereotypes, viewpoints and racial(ized) identities provides for much of the series' satire, comedy, and conflict.
