The series is no stranger to controversy, of course: even first season episodes like "Return of the King"-in which Martin Luther King survives his 1968 shooting, attempts to live in today's world and is ultimately rejected by the general public-drew plenty of outrage from closed-minded individuals. The Boondocks: The Complete Second Season is an aptly-named three-disc collection, especially since two of the included 15 episodes have been permanently banned from American television. It's been nearly two years since The Boondocks: The Complete First Season was unleashed on DVD-and as the overall quality here suggests, McGruder and company haven't been sitting still. A third season and feature-length film (theatrical or straight-to-DVD) have been hinted at for now, we've got 15 more episodes to dig through. This animated series, of course, granted McGruder's ideas and characters more breathing room after all, the three-panel format isn't that large of a canvas to begin with. Premiering as part of the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim animation block in November 2005, the first season is where most fans of The Boondocks jumped on board.because as the title of its first strip collection in 2000 implies, "I Know You Don't Read the Newspaper". Unfortunately, the strip's life was cut short in 2006 after a hiatus of undetermined length, presumably to focus more attention on the series itself. Nonetheless, The Boondocks remained a popular enough entry to be developed into an animated series, with the television and film rights quickly snapped up by Sony. Its history in the funny pages has been successful but rocky not surprisingly, many newspapers dropped the strip due to complaints from angry readers. Originally created as a comic strip for The Diamondback (the University of Maryland's independent student newspaper) in 1997, The Boondocks soon made its way to the pages of The Source, finally receiving a distribution deal with Universal Press Syndicate in 1999. They say there's no such thing as bad publicity.and they're probably right, because Aaron McGruder's The Boondocks isn't the first franchise to enjoy success with the help of good old-fashioned controversy. ^ "Monday Cable Ratings: 'Love & Hip Hop Atlanta' Wins Night, 'WWE Raw', 'Hit The Floor', 'Teen Wolf', 'Switched at Birth', 'The Fosters' & More".^ "Monday Cable Ratings: World Cup Soccer Wins Night + 'Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta', 'Monday Night RAW', 'Hit the Floor' & More".
