- www.hypeplustv.com/ - Boondock's Gary Anthony Williams is now ready to talk about why 'The Boondocks' has not returned to TV. According to Williams the return never happened because they were taking to long to produce. Instagram: @ComedyHype & Twitter: @ComedyHype_
It doesn’t have to be Boondocks specifically, just something where Aaron McGruder has complete creative control again.
This comment has serious creative logic! 🙏🏾
He’s moved on already lol why aren’t you guys respecting him as an artist?
Boondocks started as a series first and this was way before it was a tv show…
@@indigoGoddess7 Huh?! No one demanded a reboot over here.
He had control this time and fumbled..
I thought he did an anime that's on Netflix. Edit- never mind thinking the wrong thing
That means we have 8 episodes of Uncle Ruckus dialogue that exists... RELEASE IT!!!
One day, the internet is wild it could happen with a leak

I'm with you #releasetheruckuscuts
It's fascinating that the one reason Adult Swim (or whomever) originally canned Aaron McGruder (for not making the show fast enough, to their liking), wound up being almost the exact same reason it was cancelled again.
Now with, that said:
There are a number of actors who have passed away, so it would be difficult to do the show, now.
they already recasted them though
It’s not the same.. It will never be the same.. You can’t recreate the greatness of a past glory..
It wasn't just grandpa?
@@saooran7364 Charlie Murphy and Ed Asner, so both Wunclers.
@@TheRealGras we dont need ed asner he was great but could always just say he passed, JW’s son does an impeccable impersonation and is a great voice actor. Rip charlie murphy
We need the Uncle Ruckus show to be a real thing
Fact.

Also pimp named slickback
Rest In Power John Witherspoon, a True Revolutionary.
Right that really broke my heart, Deebo, Chadwick, Kobe, and etc. Today it’s just crazy right now.
Gonna miss pops aka grandad forever! 🫡

Love to grandad❤

Of course we need a Boondocks reboot. There’s too much going on in this world today.
Something always going in the world. We need
JESUS
@@southsideman4891 Jesus the imaginary character is the WORST thing the word needs😭😭😭💯 To indoctrinate more people? BAD IDEA. Religion is the biggest cancer to America, Christianity specifically
Hell no. Aaron Mcgruder sold the rights. It's not him writing. John Witherspoon and Charlie Murphy is dead. The series is over. When Aaron left it turned to trash.
NOPE
LET IT DIE
THEY'LL JUST FUCK IT UP🤣🤣🤣🤣😔
@@GamerGirl_BRE you specifically
need JESUS.
The writers addressed the elephant in the rooms of everyone equally. Brilliant show
at least Williams is still on Whose Line is it Anyway.
Ever since I saw a picture of a hypothetical adult Huey and Riley I've wanted to see a time skipped return to Boondocks. See what paths each brother was lead down and how the story brings them back together.
Facts! I think a time skip is the most logical pathway to reviving the show.
A Boondocks reboot would be great! As long as Aaron McGruder has creative control. RIP John Witherspoon.
It get cancelled because of too many creative differends between HBO, the production with its mistreatment of John Witherspoon's son and Aaron McGrudger.
The fact that their unapologetic satire might stir up a lot of violent backlash from the W*ke Twitter kewboard warriors minority from HBO and Warner Bros seems to care a lot more over _anything_ , lately, didn't help.
@@ptolemeeselenion1542 😂😭Woke warriors
Agreed 👍
There's no way a true Reboot would get approved, it'd have to be watered down beyond recognition to make it in today's "woke" society
@ZeroXVA u got a point. But them lgbt mfs gone cancel this show
They could really do so much with the boondocks in the modern day. They could set the time it takes place to 2020s. Id love to see riley and huey as young adults/grown men and how they interact with the modern world. Maybe write grandad as passed away, i think it could work really well. Rip john
damn you're right. riley in his 20s is a scary thought lmao. he was so unhinged.
exactly 🥺
@@thealpacaa Wouldn't work. Huey wouldn't have no imagination scenes, Riley won't get to fuck around and never find out, just... Damn, wouldn't work.
@@ryanhernandez8324 they should make Riley based off of Kai Cenat lmao, he never got good at studies so he just dropped outta college and became a TH-camr, even though he thought that was gay af
@@adil0028they really should not base him on kai cenat, that guys goofy
Boondocks was a literal masterpiece. I already watched it two times but I can't get enugh of it!! I WANT NEW EPISODES!!!!!
JD Witherspoon does a spot-on impression of his dad. I think a reboot can be done if the producers can work something out. Plus, we lost Charlie Murphy who voiced one of the characters, too.
Eddie Murphy could also do quiet a few voices on the show fairly well if he was asked nicely and paid well enough I'm sure.
@@annoyedbipolar7424 in what universe do you think Eddie Murphy would do a bit part on a cartoon... If it's getting canceled this easy you know they don't have the money for that let's live in reality
@@nux2k I don’t think money is the issue.
@@ThinkBeforeYouAct Eddie Murphy is not going to do the boondocks! You would have to pay him a ungodly amount of money for him to leave his house. Netflix had to pay him 30 million to go get out the bed to go Do stand up again. So yes money is a factor. The last cartoon Eddie Murphy did was the PJs and it was his and he had I think complete ownership or they paid him a lot and they was only major network It's a maybe he would do a guest appearance
Just because he sounds like him doesn’t mean he can pull off the acting.
I literally still watch this show even though I’ve seen every episode. The boondocks is one of my favorite shows. So he’ll yeah I’ll watch new episodes. I’d love to see a reboot.
Facts season 2 the best 😂
It's one of those animated shows that feels real in its own way
Just look at me profile pic, look at it.
Me 2
Grow up and start applying its lessons. You've obviously been missing some key plot points if you're still caught in the nigga cycle.
We don't need a reboot, we need good, new art.
To be honest as much as I would love to see the boondocks get another shot on the screens, I feel like they would hold a lot back especially with how people take anything in offense a lot more nowadays and I'm worried it would be watered down and wont have that extreme satire it had back then. The Boondocks is a unique cartoon show and we probably wont get another one like it.
Also RIP John Witherspoon❤🙏🕊 the show of course wouldn't be the same without grandad.
I totally agree with your assessment. I also agree that without John Witherspoon, the show just wouldn't be the same. RIP J.W.
If Aaron Mcgruder isn't involved I would not watch. Season four was the perfect example of that.
Exactly
Reason I still haven’t watch Season 4. I read some where he was involved for the reboot tho. John Witherspoon and Charlie Murphy RIP.
@@FAS-CASHI've watched it..... IT'S 😩😩😩😩
@@FAS-CASH It ain't worth watching. Season 4 was awful
Awful is too strong for s4 more like underwhelming
Ain’t no such thing as taking “too long” to be made. They just didn’t want it to be made! They’re scared of all the controversial and powerful things they would say so they found the littlest reason to can it. Tragic. This’ll be made somehow✊🏾
You aren't lying. Although season 4 was trash.
Aaron has already moved on from the show. This was a comic series he created in school and years later it turned into a show…
@@indigoGoddess7 wasn’t he involved with the reboot?
Facts
No, Mcgruder lags alot. You must not remember the long gap between season 2 and 3 & then 4.
I would absolutely love a reboot so much shit has changed since it first came out I would to see how the writings changed and what they've been doing animation wise
I feel like since there is still passion there I wouldn't give up hope on this coming out
Yeah, hopefully one day The boondocks can return
Definitely would be looking forward to seeing a reboot, in the hopefully near future!
Thank you guys for creating this entertainment!
They should just upload it to the internet. It isn’t like we wouldn’t crowdfund it. The fans are VERY dedicated and VERY large in number and have been wanting this for a long time. There’s always that.
Copyright laws would prevent that from happening
@@dimitricruz8151 Not if it’s his own show and it isn’t under any contract.
Dude you are insane, one season of the show took years for them to get out. On top of that this is an animated show that was high quality and with that, high budget. I don't think the fans have the money to front the costs of production.
@@JoesandBros Do you know how many fans of The Boondocks there are? If each fan gave $1 there’d already be a several million dollar budget. And plenty of the fans would be willing to donate hundreds, thousands, even ten thousands and more dollars.
or at least upload it to patreon lol
Boondocks was next level fun ...the humor hit angles so many are sensitive about but still broke ground on keeping us laugh regardless!!👍😍😝bring it back RIP POPS RIP CHARLIE MURPHY!!!
Fr man I hate how sensitive society is nowadays where a show like boondocks is considered "offensive" by today's standards 🤦♂️
Everything to the theme song to the outro music everything is so nostalgic and it just kept getting better as I got older and understood more there has and never will be anytbing like this show I’ve tried to get countless people on it but they always end up getting offended at some part or another respect bros
Yes sir!!
I believe that the show was also making commentary about black society and culture.
We need that Reboot! I was disappointed for 3 days when it got cancelled 💀
We so need The Boondocks
Hands down one of the best Black Cartoons every created. Yes, yes, and yes we want more
One of the best cartoons ever,not just Black.
Definitely want the Boondocks back one of the Greatest Anime Series ever.
Lol Boondocks wasn't anime
@@jasonhearn5818it’s animated same shit
Yeah its animated but The format of the show isn't anime style which would be like dbz, Naruto etc
lmao
@@jasonhearn5818still an anime, literally animated it korea
The easiest replacement for Granddad is his son JD Witherspoon who is spot on as his father and wants to do it to honor him. Charlie Murphy's part can also easily be done by his brother Eddie who also has him down cold. The Boondocks definitely needs to be back in this current climate, either bring The Boondocks back or do a spinoff The Uncle Ruckus Show.
That production budget won't want to pay Eddie Murphy. They can do all dead cast members with Artificial intelligence voiceover
I don’t want a Ruckus show. We already have that in real life. The show gave me breaks from him by not always having him be seen.
@@Akeem_768 those still sounds like ass lol
I thought JD said he wanted to voice granddad for the reboot, but HBO Max (or Sony) turned him down or didn't want him to do it.
Except for that one guy in the Hateocracy, who did Charlie Murphy voice?
I would love to see more. Especially if we can avoid fears of those who don’t enjoy reality
It was real sad to find out John Witherspoon died a while back. This show is always been one of those shows that talk about controversial topics I thought what they could do is send Huey and Riley to the foster care program. Riley goes Tom. Huey we go to uncle ruckus. i’ve been through the program myself and it’s not good. the homes I went to we’re not good and most social workers don’t care that was the first time I went through it. Second time, my mom died and my family decided to abandon me. Luckily I made a friend who I would consider my brother he begged his dad to let me stay with them that was some of my happiest memories being with them
I would definitely love to see another Boondocks reboot!
I'm glad it got canceled. The messages go over non-black heads, and they use the series as an excuse to get comfortable saying the n word around anyone. Like that 16 year old kid saying it to that elderly man 15 times and ASSUMING he uses the word too (because all are the same right?)
The show did more harm than good imo. I'd like to see more productions with black people that isn't just "black people are so funny".
@@victory7763 Non-black people will always find an excuse to say the word regardless lol
@Horror It's no coincidence that all non-black people have enough self-respect to not let you say racial slurs around them; but we say our slur to each other and allow others to say it around us and to us.
This is a direct cause of black american actions, and for the many things that aren't our fault, this is something that we just refuse to take responsibility for. This is our doing. We don't respect ourselves, so why would others respect us?
It’s amazing that they can have the Simpsons, family guy etc that last forever but the Boondocks gets canned…!🤔 I’ll love to see the ratings vs other adult swim shows?
We need the Boondocks! It was ahead of it’s time and forecasted a lot of crap in the world… “C virus” aka chicken flu episode, DOWN LO push in hip hop aka the Gangstalicious episodes, R Kell episode, racism etc…! But with HUMOR😄😄🤣😁🤣
Cant forget the popeyes chicken sandwich saga
yup and that’s because we are always they butt of their jokes but they could never be the butt of ours …
All by design...........I always wondered why it wasn't on "black networks".......nevermind just remembered Robert Johnson sold B E T to the anglo saxon✡️yehudi in 2001 aka Viacom aka Sumner Rothstein(changed his name to Redstone like we wouldn't notice he's a✡️yehudi). So the agenda as of the early 2000s was profit driven, agenda pushing, fad trend, consume the latest commercial based product marketed at the black household programing. The sad part is most blacks in scamerica are oblivious to who runs, controls and owns what. Like a ton of blacks in 2023 still think Jordan owns the Jordan brand.
@@sagbae i definitely agree with you on that one. It's crazy how shows like big mouth are running. That show can be pretty disgusting at times and tbh dont get much critical thinking from that .
Cause y’all boy McGruder like being a asshole
Yay Double Toasted! Great interview 👍🏿
With everything that’s happened the last 19 years, we NEED a Boondocks reboot.
I think J.D. Witherspoon (John's son) considered taking the role of granddad but it was turned down. Correct me if I'm wrong.
That’s what he said. I wonder what the reason that was given if one was given.
According to JD they turned him down. But I think they can work it out with JD in the future.
All they have to do is write off uncle ruckus. As for the kids, they should have made them adults who have flash backs of pops. Could have been amazing.
@@kangkoopa So eviscerate the core character dynamics of the show?
He auditioned and wanted the job but they turned him down. They said they went with a more well known actor and sort of deep faked the voice to sound like John Witherspoon.The guy was hurt over it, I don't blame him.
S/O to double toasted Kory, Martin, Oz, Chris, and Julian
I was a child watching it when I really wasn’t suppose to but grandad was watching it too,I’m a young adult now of course we need a reboot!
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
Yes we need a reboot/continuation of this show. My mom loved this show. Only cartoon she would watch
I'm just glad my boys from Double Toasted getting some shine! Love their channel.
Please I need more!!!!!!!
I hope it comes back I love this show
I’m good on a reboot.
John Witherspoon may you rest in peace.
The old seasons of the boondocks are still relevant now. Imagine if they made more seasons about everything happening now
It would be crazy!!!! So much has happen since the last season of the Boondocks.. they would have enough material for 5 more seasons lol for real
Hopefully they’ll bring it back because this had my hyper. I didn’t even know they cancelled it. I was waiting for it to come out still.
Man that is tragic this is such a beloved show
Best show ever made! If I had the funds, I would definitely bring it back!
We want to see a boondock's reboot. We also want to see John Witherspoon's. Son play granddad. The old episodes are still very funny. And relevant to the times
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.
Yes, I need this show back one of my favorite childhood shows, and I still watch it as an adult.
We need a boondocks. You see how other programs have no respect for our contributions. We need shows that are for us by us. But boondocks was for the world by and by us 🔥
Here is a perfect, ORIGINAL show for not just the black community, but everyone….. but 👎…. Hollywood just wants to keep race swapping. 🤷♂️ 🤦♂️
Love to see a reboot with John Witherspoon son voicing his part because HE can do his voice FLAWLESSLY.
Nothing more i want like boondocks just finished rewatching it for the 3rd time i need more!
I'm still on the hope that someday we will get this reboot.
Yeah
YES!!! I'D LIKE TO SEE A BOONDOCKS REVIVAL BECAUSE I'M SO DISAPPOINTED THAT WE GOT OUR HOPES UP FOR NOTHING!!! #ReviveTheBoondocks
I'll always think of him as Abe from Malcolm In The Middle, but his work as Uncle Ruckus was nothing short of amazing lol
I fucking love that Double Toasted is getting plugged! That was a great interview. Gary was hilarious, and Double Toasted is my favourite podcast.
We were just having this conversation a couple of days ago
I've been wondering for a few years what was going on with that show.
S/O to them brothers over there at Double Toasted ✊🏾
This is honestly sad, hopefully they can do a reboot some other time but i doubt it, I just started watching the show and it is good
one of the best ever. would love to see it comeback.
I am glad it got cancelled. They removed the original creator and also John Witherspoon's son wasn't used to replace him even though he had a pitch perfect recreation of his father's voice, and intonation. Don't take my word for it, use Google and see for yourself.
Thank you
Crazy to think two iconic characters/actors have passed away John Witherspoon Sr and Charlie Murphy
Don't forget Ed Asner! He also played a prominent character.
So that is the reason why the boondocks reboot was cancelled and amazing video man :]
I need my top hackers to leak those 8 uncle Ruckus episodes lol
I would love for them to do a reboot…..but what direction were they considering with Huey and Riley now that Grandad (John Witherspoon)has passed?
That Double Toasted Interview was Incredible & God Rest John Witherspoons Soul 🙏🏽🕊😇
Ong we need this 😢
Yes Indeed, I'd love to see new episodes.
Yes! Yes! We need a Boondocks revival
AGREED!
Hell yeah...creative,unapologetic, intentional, and funny!! I love it! Bring it back!!
HBO had to divert all resources to season 2 of Velma because you know THATS what the people really want
Just finished the last season a few days ago. Good show, jolly good show.
If it’s the same writing and production style then YESS. We love The Boondocks and have been waiting FOREVER for it to return. 🙏🏽
I have accepted that boondocks was a once in a life time thing. The two seasons are a classic, You just had to be there. Luckily I was alive during this time. Lightning stuck once. And yea it was beautiful let's let go. *I know there was a season three but didn't hit the same as 1 and 2.
Classic and legendary. It could only come out in that time. We are blessed to have witnessed it
Bruh all the seasons were great, crack head
Season three was good too, season four is wen it fell off
@@berserkmaster2514 W.
Season 3 has one of if not the best episode in it though
It would be dope to see riley n Huey as adults or older teens or maybe even a spinoff could be great as well
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
Wouldn’t be the same without Grandad “John Witherspoon” 😒
His son does a spot-on impression, and he's a professional voice actor. It's the closest we can do.
@@TheCloveart HBO said no and got some other dude to do it and it failed
@@Darealmenxce I know. Which is why JD should be reconsidered. And maybe get new producers.
@@TheClovearthis son is 🔥. We NEED a reboot! And who better than Mr. John Witherspoon’s son
Double Toasted is definitely one of my favorite TH-cam channels. #DoubleToasted #BestMovieReviewChannelOnline
Can't stand them.
@@TheCreatorNFE You must like Tyler Perry movies huh 😂😂
@@darianlynch2687 I'm not much for his films, though I like some of his series. However, that's not why I dislike them. They just seem snobbish, especially when it comes to urban films and some stuff from the 90s/00s. Can't get with that.
@@TheCreatorNFE Gotcha. Yea I can’t get with any of Tyler Perry’s shows/movies and I do get what you’re saying about DT in regards not covering certain things. I think they give hilarious takes on movies and other things that they cover, and although they do cover black things, it does seem that it has to be mainstream for them to cover it and so I’ll admit that I do wish they would cover more black things as well.
@@darianlynch2687 Lol, I feel you. House of Payne and Meet the Browns are really all I've ever liked. Meet the Browns introduced me to Logan Browning, so there's that. Lol, She's a pretty great actress. Anyway, it's not even if something is mainstream or not when it comes to Black films, but it seems they criticize them harder and neglect the fact that there's a large amount of our community which likes the language and such of the films they have reviewed. Like, I'm all about folks having preferences and having an opinion, but myself and a few other Black guys have pointed out under certain vids (most recently, a review of Babyboy) that Korey seems extremely biased and comes off like he has a disdain for the Black community. Maybe it's just us though, but I know Cosby was the same way. Folks gave him A LOT of crap for it as well, reasons why so many didn't have a problem turning on him once the allegations came out. Especially fellow comedians. That last part is a slight tangent, so pardon me. Just putting things in perspective. 😅
I am currently re-watching the Boondocks and this just pops up in my feed. They might as well released them new episodes
Of course, it takes too long, but I don’t understand why between the network in the production studio, there’s not more people being in sync with this.
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.
real talk, them dudes dumb af
Would’ve never known “Smart Brother” from Undercover Brother was Uncle Ruckus if not for this video
speaking of which, we need a sequel of that movie
And he lost so much weight?!
We need this show more than ever now
Fr fr
WE NEED ONE!!!
Nice video
A million times "Yes!"
That show was amazing.
Yes, I would still love to see a reboot of this show.
Boondocks is the best cartoon for me and my friends here in Jamaica, even the older persons love it, the characters r hilarious and u can't help but be entertained and laugh 😂
We need it🙏
Hell yeah.. I would love to see a new season of the Boondocks.
Won't be the same without John witherspoon. And that s4 was a mess...so maybe we dodged a bullet
Get it done!!!
So true!! I met Aaron MacGruder and he told me he had nothing to do with Season 4.
Greatness takes time😌
I would cry tears of joy if i got to actually see new boondocks episodes
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.
Ruckus needs his own show 💯
Yo imagine if they made a Lgbtq version of uncle ruckus 💀
@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 🚫🧢
@@mysterymann187 You give it a whole season?
I wish they release those episodes so I watch em lol
We NEED IT‼️‼️‼️‼️
i would love a “reboot” if aaron mcgruder and the previous writers are part in it, they could either have riley and huey young or make them older either way it would be funny af if they include modern controversies
They should just say fuck it and make a movie
Man, I really do need a reboot by this point with them talking about it, I hope we get more Boondocks at some point, need more great lines from Huey
I hope this show comes back.
