They scrapped the Boondocks but not Velma.
@@Dumfuk343The boondocks is political as HELL, what do you mean??
@@jellifish9389also Huey Freeman was also claimed to be a Leftist himself.
I mean his affiliation was so known that in an episode a fictional version of the Republican Party tried to ruin a fictional version of Barack Obama's reputation as president by linking him with Huey because on the fictional-only social media page profile Fictional Obama has, has Huey Freeman on his friend list.
@@Dumfuk343 The best episodes did have some well done political commentary and philosophy. But the newest braindead ones do not or do it in the least good way possible.
But why
@@Dumfuk343sure abt tht lol
but we get a velma season 2 fk hbo
You shouldn't have hate watched it

@@callmesenpaidesu1506 I'm on episode 75 of one piece so this made me smile
We should try funding the Uncle Ruckus movie
Heck yeah!! I'd love that!!
I believe the creators tried that once on Kickstarter years ago. But nothing really came from it.
If they did I feel like he only missed one black dude the grandpa no matter how much he hate all other blacks
we already got that
@@isaacthemonke233they did it pre Covid. Anything post Covid people go crazy for.
Thee stipulations I would require for a Reboot:
1. Aaron has full creative control over the series
2. John Witherspoon's son, JD, does the voice for Grandad since he can do a near perfect recreation of his voice.
3. All of the other original voice actors return as well
Problem is there’d likely be no Wunclers if they didn’t recast them, Ed Asner (Ed Wuncler) and Charlie Murphy (Ed III) are both dead. Even though they weren’t exactly “major” characters, they were the driving force between quite a few episodes.
@@Pantsinabucket True. I suppose we technically could do without them, or have the story explanation be both Ed and his gransdon went to prison for something and thus we don't see them out in the streets
Why does everyone want his son to play grand dad when he isn't even that great of a voice actor?
You'd require?
You pay for it then
“They canceled Boondocks but Velma gets season 2”
As much as I want more Boondocks, this is a blessing in disguise. The Boondocks we got was visionary. Anything they’d try to make today would be watered down garbage. There’s no way HBO would let Aaron McGruder tell the story he wants to tell. That’s why it got scrapped.
Agreed. It's okay to let this show end with dignity.
You get it. Like do we REALLY want the same people who made the decision to greenlight Velma, let alone two seasons of that have ANY sort of creative control over the Boondocks. McGurder or bust.
Exactly. We all know the show couldn't air in this day and age without being an inauthentic hollow version of the real thing. It would offend way too many of the softies we have today. The script would never make it past the executive desk.
You're delusional 🎶
You're delusional 🎶
If you are saying this because of season 4, season 4 wasn't that bad.
If your saying this because everyone is so sensitive all the sudden then yea I understand.
As much as I'd like to see a new season, No Aaron-No Boondocks. That last season just wasn't the same.
Bruh FR, they turned that shit into fucking garbage, damn near all the episodes was some corny ass parody. The only good episode was the chris brown one, and that was just a rehash of the usher one.
Facts
He was back For the reboot.
Nah it was still cold dw
@@Jayce_Ellis Thanks, I'll give it a watch then.
We need The Boondocks now more than ever. It's so much material. That cartoon was magical.
Yeah, I wish they could bring it back That’s my favorite show And probably the best show on adult swim. In my opinion I mean don’t get me wrong. I like Family Guy and American dad and some of the other shows but boondocks will always be my favorite.
We all know the show couldn't air in this day and age without being an inauthentic hollow version of the real thing. It would offend way too many of the softies we have today. The script would never make it past the executive desk. Maybe it's better this way
With out Aaron McGruder and his mindset that’s show is trash.
@blindgirlbabybee American Dad & Family guy are not Adult Swim originals. 🤨
💯
It breaks my heart that John Witherspoon didn’t get a chance to help make the reboot happen.
His son can do his character.. John's son sounds just like him..
@@therealityofitall4819
I thought he said he wasn’t asked to take part in it.
I think them stepping on JD Witherspoon's toes, messing him about VO work to replace his dad turned the public against the show creators/runners. Anticipation kind of died with that.
Interesting, I don't know about all this.
@@Senile_Yeti Here's the video of JD explaining his side th-cam.com/video/fKOpInpHJH8/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=JohnWitherspoon
No no it didnt ur white stop tryna explain our show the reason why it hasnt been out yet is because they’re trying to figure out a way for someone to play JD without it being disrespectful i think they should cast his son he does a uncanny impression of him
JD got lowballed again?
@@emilioa.2365 I think it only happened once. He spoke on it in video I posted on this thread.
Please, I want to see that. Those new animations looks great
It's a complete contrast of what it use to be. It looks terrible
@@eddiekynard7627you are free to think so. The original was good but to see it in a true anime style? I'd like to see that even if it's just a pilot/test episode
@@Endersgamejp it's not an anime tho. To put it such a cartoonish style will change the pacing of the show. It will be the same contrast as Teen Titans and Titans Go. That's what I'm afraid of.
@@Endersgamejp Def not a fan of the new artstyle, it removes it a little too much from the realness the original show had. Colorful art with detail doesn't make it anime style, it just means CalArts didn't rape it.
no it doesnt
this isn't a show, this is legendary art.
His name is GARY ANTHONY WILLIAMS
Who also played Herb on Malcolm in the Middle as Stevie’s dad
Knower of many ancient, chinese, secrets on soul plane
@@BelmontClanhis name was Abe😅
I never knew this guy voiced uncle ruckus lmao wtf. I remember him from Soul plane and Malcolm in the middle😂
And?
He has some serious acting range.
Phenomenal Talent!
It’s like I always say, “never say never”.
You just said "Never"...
Oops, I did!
@@dj-um7elwhat sucks is you can't spell "whenever" without "never"
@@Kurdati
Fax
@@Kurdatiso then say anytime
For sure. Even though John Witherspoon is no longer with us God rest his soul. His son does amazing impression of him.
I didn’t know “Smart Brutha” was Uncle Ruckus😊
Absolutely!!
The boondocks were freaking awesome. I still love them today.
Me too💯
We need new episodes of The boondocks please bring it back
I would love to see that show again I always watch the reruns on TV or on TH-cam but I would love to see new episodes
If they're not going to reboot it release the unaired episodes.
I assume only the story boards were made for the 8 episodes Gary mentioned.
@@albozru1ehe said he made 8 meaning probably got all the way to voices
@@OldMushroom which isnt that far. For most cases the voices are recorded first before the animation is made.
@@albozru1e that’s my point lol
@OldMushroom no its not? You're comment seems like you assumed that the fact they got to voices means the episodes were almost done.
Uncle Ruckus is an iconic character 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
How they treated J.D. Witherspoon after the untimely passing of his father's death was underhanded and cruel; John Witherspoon was a icon of the culture and a persona. Just like how Illumination ruled out Charles Martinet for Chris Pratt, no one will take the production seriously if the star isn't present for their appropriate roles.
Only reason why Charles Martinet didn't get the role was because he can't speak in long sentences in the Mario voice
@@ZekeTheNerdVXnot to mention the Mario voice, although iconic, probably isn’t suitable for a 90 minutes film
@@ZekeTheNerdVXnot a counterpoint but, to be clear, nobody is dissing Martinets VA chops, dude can play a serious role like Parthunaax. Absolutely based.
Martinet was in the film. He was a cameo at the beginning and the end
@@user-ld9tf4td8s Adjacent to cameo is a cameo; those are not large roles. Besides, it drives home my point more. Regardless of the money and traction, relinquishing veterans like Martinet from their major roles in favor of celebrities--let alone ones with no talent or any mature experience in voice acting--isn't wise. Now, the long-time voice actor of the Plumber mysteriously retires from his role after the film's release, *despite solemnly swearing he'd remain voicing all four plumbers (Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi) until he passed away.* Keeping things civil doesn't equate to repression of one's feelings--and there's much moral conflict against today's Celebrification in Hollywood anyway.
How the fuck does something taking too long end up being canned? Wouldn’t you have lost all the money that went into it in the first place??
Yes
Sunk cost fallacy.
This is probably gonna sound real dumb but why don't they just release those episodes if they were already made? Like, if the project's already dead why not at least put out what they already did? Are they keeping it in case they can monetize it in the future or what??
@@mmmanutdthey weren't finished. Only voice acting of 1 character was confirmed. They would still.need to do all the animation the music the edits the sound design
Do your homework on tyler perry getting them canceled
This breaks my heart so badly 💔😭😩
A petition for a pilot episode would be great!
man that's actually sad bc the boondocks is one of the best shows i've ever seen, the show has a really nice humor sense
And educational, at least for those of us whose attention span was nil for social studies in school.
@@corpsiecorpsie_the_original Huey made me hate capitalism lol
@@berson7474 capitalism by itself isnt the problem the problem is that it isnt by itself theres greed as well as other factors
@@judethenekogamer3651 Those issues are inherent in capitalism. Capitalism is not just free markets, it's when the means of production are owned and controlled by private individuals who hire workers to produce goods and make money for the owners. Capitalism itself is 100% the problem.
@@dxgdxn131 Every thing like cap, social, etc all of them or shit but what we can do, at least cap is not that bad
But it won't get the same messages across their episodes with new management wanting to spin it into their own personal preferences.
as someone who is studying animations in college, its living HELL
Future me here, don't it unless you love creating visuals or just love seeing your self suffer just to do sowing cute
Man we need this show back for the culture 💯💯🤦🏾♂️😂😂🤣🤣
Thank god they didnt actually make them these rosey cheeked weirdoes in the promo art. the hardness and realness the OG show had would've been pissed on by some chibi redesigns.
Lol I agree i looked at the cartoons like what 😐🫤
Nah wtf is that? The original looked perfect
It's just conceptual, it's always been anime styled
I think it's just one shot you're seeing. In context it may be a wide angled scene and it's just the perspective you're seeing it from. Theres still a lot of detail in that pic.
Imo the original art style screams slowpaced drama/comedy while this to me says more fast paced action/comedy.
ongod, the OG artstyle is unmatched
😢😢😢 I missed this soooo much !!!
I do too man
Rest in power Grand Dad 😔
Please 🙏🏾 bring it back
They should send out the 8 episodes as a test batch to see how it works
I had no idea!!!! 😮😂😂😂 I’m here for it.
So excited for them to comeback anytime but wont be the same without grandad Rest in power JD Witherspoon
“2014”
We need it back!
Ikr
I still can't fully believe that the guy who played wholesome, kind Abe from Malcolm in the Middle also played Uncle Ruckus.
8 Episodes!? And possibly more.
Here's to hoping some progress is made, old wounds heal, and we can see this show come back.
Yeah, hopefully we will see them again someday
I miss this so much ! They always had a deeper meaning about things in a funny way
MAN, WE MISS, THE BOONDOCKS!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn I would love to see those new Boondocks episodes.. This is the greatest cartoon ever..
Ong me too
I want that reboot so badly
Omg... Im in love with that art style!
We need you now more than ever.
Man boondocks was a crazy animation but it was hella knowledgeable. Believe it or not it could teach kids something 😂
Id love a reboot. Boondocks is one of my favorite shows.
Same
Rest in peace John witherspoon. An absolute legend.❤
This show deserves a reboot, I hope we get to see it! 🔥👏🏿✊🏿
Please create a season 5
Need it badly generation needs to hear that real
THE NIGGA FROM MALCOM IN THE MIDDLE WAS UNC?????!
Nigga? You know you white right ?
Fuck your right the dudes dad in the wheel chair
Ain't that a damn shame that's all right though there's always another chance of being a reboot
Tbh i really hope the unused audio does surface someday so we could see what it would have been like. Tbh i think the death of John Witherspoon really ended up causing the show to be canned despite his son wanting to do the voice
I wish all the best to come out soon.
We want more, more, more… the best all-a-way around 🎉🎉🎉❤
*They Should Reboot The Comic Book.* 💎
No, boondocks is such a revelant masterpiece similar to the Simpsons as is. Anything further would be a force, and it wouldn't be as good. Like the latest season of the Boondocks.
Naa you tripping. We need this.
@Macheef Kaze Maybe if the season kept coming out without so much space in between, and they didn't get rid of Aaron NcGruder. Nothing will top boondocks season 1-3, the cast, and the writer as of now. We all saw how bad season 4 turned out, trying to imitate other shows and whatnot, zero creativity. It was highly unoriginal because there was no Aaron McGruder. Maybe it will live up to seasons 1-3, IF and only if Aaron came back and wrote the show.
@@macheefkaze
What we need is now impossible.
The Simpsons could never hold a candle to The Boondocks
@@loweni7460 at all
We need a live action Boondocks
I met him in Conroe Texas a few months ago....helluva nice man.
Now more than ever we need the Boondocks to come back. People are getting way too sensitive when it comes to the dumbest things like just simple jokes.
Or transwomen drinking beer and existing. Or non-white people bringing to light horrible things that have been committed to them
Exactly, push the boundaries of how pissed off people can get at jokes, while the people with a sense of humor will laugh their asses off
They should hire Charleston White to voice Uncle Ruckus if they ever make a Remake 😂😂😂😂
Why? The beauty of the actor in the role is him knowing the absurdity of the role lmfao…not in actually being a real life uncle Ruckus 😂
God bless this actor. This character i felt left a very deep imprint in my soul. Beautiful character
This is hands down one of the greatest cartoons ever, its in my top 3, prob #2. I still watch it all the time, and never gets old. Ed Wuncler III voiced by charlie murphy is hilarious 😅
Same I watch it a lot when it’s not on TV I go to TH-cam even my family knows I love the boondocks sometimes when I go to my dad’s, he don’t even ask he just puts it on and I’m like yes
You can hear the voice of uncle ruckus 😂😂😂
We waiting for that shit bring back the show 😭😭😭
Pleaseee do more episodesss
Is what a shame. This is a great cartoon. My family and friends all watch this and we laugh and laugh. Thanks a hundred thousand times for all of the smiles
Just thought about john Witherspoon not being with us and cried rest in heaven big dawg
BRO 8 EPISODES
Best. Show. Ever.
1st off (R.i.p) Charlie Murphy🙏🏾John Witherspoon. love this show so much it was better then (American dad) (Family guy) (south Park) put together Regina King/Katt Williams/ Samuel Jackson/ Appreciate black Excellence help me open my 3rd 👁️ Thank you Aaron Mcgruder hopefully we get a reboot soon
Regina King😅
Gary Anthony Williams is incredibly talented as well hes been in movies you might have seen n not even realized it (Flame from "Soul Plane" is Ruckus most ppl mind blown on that one)
@@V4inShadow he was also smart brother in Undercover Brother, and Tarik in Harold and Kumar go to White Castle.
❤
Right like I said, I like American dad and Family Guy, but boondocks. That’s the best show.💯💯
Please do another season I beg you
#bringbacktheboondocks
We need this now
Well, maybe not a reboot, but i would love to see a sequel series or future continuation of the series, Where we get to see what life would be like for Huey, Riley, Cindy, and Jazmine as adults in official canon.
They can’t give us 8 episodes of The Boondocks but they can give us new trash ass marvel/Star Wars and another season of “Velma”
Dang I miss Uncle John
Bring the Boondocks back
It would be great if they rolled out the 8 Episodes they completed. And see if the Fan wants the other 5 EPs to be completed.
Bro his son sounds JUST like grandpa 😩🥹
bring it back bruh
Wish I could get these interviews in a podcast form so I can listen at work.
I really want the Huey “White shadow” plot to pan out in like a movie or something
John Witherspoon (RIP) as Grandad was one of the best parts of the show.
Charlie Murphy too
Rest In Power John Witherspoon
I wish he would do the voice on the interview
That show was a masterpiece!! RIP JW
Bruh if we can wait for Dead Island 2 I'd happily wait for the Boondocks
When u run outta passes
Boondocks animators: Animation takes time and effort.
HBO: You're taking too long, you're cancelled.
The final episode of the original series of The boondocks said a mouthful and spoke volumes and it also define exactly the background situation that was going on with Aaron and the exact at Warner Bros and the whole cartoon Network thing in adult swim you know the whole control.
The show was too awakening and started gaining traction; that’s probably why they canned it. They want to keep us numb and desensitized; The Boondocks was a true work of art as it was perfectly balanced between entertainment and revealing the truths beyond the thinly veiled allure that the system we are in has set up for us to not know what’s really going on; all in a satirical and hilarious way
Best show of my childhood
Dude the guy interviewing him could do Mr freeman voice perfectly !
Gary Anthony is a great actor
We want more Uncle Ruckus!
Jesus loves you
Please bring it back!
I almost never watch TV but even I know that this show was something special to people. I'm sure they'll reboot it when nostalgia for it is strongest. Look at how they're currently rehashing everything. Give it time. Everything old is new again.
Met the actor in real life. He was very cool and humble
never knew he did this voice
But Velma gets a fuckin season 2.
