Two things that will always make this difficult. First of all, Granddad was a HUGE part of that show and you can’t just replace John Witherspoon in that role. Second, most fans aren’t going to accept a new Boondocks without Aaron. I think I watched one episode from the season after he left (something about the kardashians). It wasn’t the same, I haven’t seen another episode from that season and I probably never will. Aaron was the brains of that operation and the moral compass behind Huey. Without him, it doesn’t work right. I know he was onboard for the new series but he doesn’t seem like a dude who likes these kinds of “shelved reboot” shenanigans.

I doubt it had anything to do with "Taking too long". Sony/HBO are known for totally rejecting certain types of humor, so the likely reason the reboot was cancelled was because Aaron wanted complete creative freedom/control and the parent company refused to do so because they knew the type of jokes the old Boondocks made.

Monday.. April 29 2024 & I’m still waiting for this show to return. I showers the show to my girlfriend & she too now loves the show. The boondocks has to return I feel like there’s so much material with the events of today that it’ll be dumb for them to not reboot the show #StillWaiting

[@thecunninlynguist]

Won't be the same without John witherspoon. And that s4 was a mess...so maybe we dodged a bullet

[@victorthompson1367]

Get it done!!!

[@DJLaZEyE]

So true!! I met Aaron MacGruder and he told me he had nothing to do with Season 4.

[@SerPounceToebeans]

I'm still on the hope that someday we will get this reboot.

[@babybee576]

Yeah

[@Shadowdragon_TV]

I dont think the world can handle Boondocks, too sensitive and soft now. This show predicted and exposed so much that went unnoticed due to the great comedy it offered. Reboot wouldn't ever hit right without John Witherspoon. Rest in Peace to the legend, such an underrated comedian.

[@jeffbrownstain]

Boondocks could never be successfully rebooted. I'm sorry, but it served a very important role at a very specific time and place. The message it left us with helped set the stage for the society we're currently building. We don't want Boondocks again, or any other reboots for that matter. We just want artists to have the creative freedom to express what they see, which we cannot.

[@kamrenai3321]

Yes, I need this show back one of my favorite childhood shows, and I still watch it as an adult.

[@mysterymann187]

Ruckus needs his own show 💯

[@LouisDiCorzo]

Yo imagine if they made a Lgbtq version of uncle ruckus 💀

[@mysterymann187]

@claudialewis7874 bruh lmao 🤣 yeah that would be hilarious 😂 yet it would probably be canceled by the 1st season everybody's too sensitive nowadays 😂 that would be entertaining tho 🚫🧢

[@hustleman85]

@@mysterymann187 You give it a whole season?

[@fullclipgaming3376]

Hell yeah I still want a reboot THATS DONE RIGHT💯 shouldn't matter how long art is taken to be made as long as the art is perfected. Same with any kind of entertainment.

[@Johnwick-yo6hk]

I miss boondocks

[@turilavergne1416]

Yes I would love to see this show come back.also I would love a new season.its a really good anima. I love the art work and story telling.hope you have a great week

[@db9841]

If we could only wish this show came back in 2023

[@trealcity]

Is boondocks anime?

[@TransformersGuy1991]

It's an American cartoon drawn overseas in South Korea to look like an anime.

[@gladigatorrawr1480]

>too long to make 100% it was WBD that cancelled it. Or better said, another show killed by Zaslav

[@papaaddo6270]

Thank God it was cancelled. Wouldn’t be the same. It will have to be politically correct so not to offend anyone. Which is almost impossible to do these days

[@lightyearpig12]

Even if the Boondocks reboot did get released, there's a very high chance it wouldn't have lasted long given what's going on with HBO Max right now.

[@mulehop17]

Lol, "Taking too long." I hate that they don't even TRY with the corporate BS anymore

[@iamhim5635]

If you know the truth.. then you would agree that the boondocks reboot would have been a Terrible idea. I was against the idea for a long time.

[@KevinSkye1]

Growing up in a household of a silent man and loud women, John Witherspoon was the perfect Pops and Granddad that I needed to see on TV. They'll never be another one like him and even with a reboot, his iconic voice not being there will always not sit well with me. RIP John, I hope you still got on them shiny shoes and moving and grooving in that dinner

[@OGPeanutbutter]

We really need this type of show. I think Atlanta did a fantastic job of creating commentary on black America and the society of America in general. But the Boondocks was special because it really had a telescope into the future. Sometimes things were so dead on it wasn’t humorous at that point. Brilliant show. RIP POPS.

[@LoveHandle4890]

It would be a great tribute to the great John Witherspoon tbh.

[@sandiilovesu4077]

Well basically i lot of people said they didn’t want a Reboot they were fine with the classic’s especially without John Witherspoon and his son didn’t want anything to do with it so of course it was gonna be canceled

[@emmanual2202]

They approve shows like Velma, but a show that everyone loves has to go through multiple cancelations

[@mike2207]

The fact that these large companies don’t realize the massive cash cow they have in their hands is insane. A show like this would be easily clipped up across all social media platforms.

[@thejoker9739]

real talk, them dudes dumb af

[@stopdaviolencewp2022]

I hope it comes back I love this show
