During his heyday, McGruder, like South Park’s Trey Parker and Matt Stone, pissed off pretty much everybody.
BOONDOCKS EPISODES 12 CODE
No matter: The plot, about an abusive, drug-addled, entourage-addicted, Chris Brown–type rapper named Pretty Boy Flizzy, is more leaden and tedious than most Boondocks episodes, and considering how often the show was accused of being “unfunny” (which is often White People code for “too angry” or “too inside” - sometimes both) that’s saying quite a bit.

Maybe the Times has inside information it can’t attribute for whatever reason? The Los Angeles Times speculates that “The absence of a writing credit indicates that the installment was likely written by McGruder.” I’m not sure how the missing writing credit makes it “likely” that McGruder wrote the episode it seems it could just as easily indicate that the episode was rewritten without his consent and he wanted his name taken off it, or that it was written by committee and nobody could agree on credit (or blame), or that there was some other behind-the-scenes craziness we don’t know about.

Tonight’s episode is marked as “402” and next week’s is “404.” The second has no writing credit. The series’ long-delayed final season proceeded without him, after he and the network disagreed over a schedule for delivering new episodes (the details are fuzzy McGruder’s statement is here). Adult Swim sent out two episodes for critics, tonight’s and next week’s.
BOONDOCKS EPISODES 12 SERIES
Series creator Aaron McGruder, who adapted the animated show from his own newspaper strip, isn’t involved anymore. You can’t figure out exactly what, but you can feel it. It’s a zombie show, like the Dan Harmon–less fourth season of Community. It’s not terrible, but it doesn’t seem like itself. The mural Rile and his art teacher spray painted was of a couple he was reminiscing about that could be his parents which I still am not sure what happened to them and why they have not mentioned them yet.I’ll be brief about the fourth and final season of The Boondocks, the Adult Swim series about ten-year-old black militant Huey Freeman, his gangsta-wanna-be kid brother, Riley, and their nonsensically yammering, ladies-loving caretaker, Granddad. I rate this episode a 4 out of 5 because of the scene where Riley and the art teacher flee the scene (Riley’s house), the song by the sampling “Today” by Tom Scott by Pete Rock & CL Smooth They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y) which was the perfect soundtrack for the scene because it is about remembering someone you have lost. My favorite part of this episode was when Riley spray-painted a mural of what I want to presume a picture of his parents on their wedding day. Granddad trusts that Riley will not need to graffiti in the neighborhood if he takes art classes but the art teacher is all for letting Riley express himself artistically in any way he wants even if that means spray painting on their neighbors’ homes. The art teacher who is voiced by well-known voice actor Rob Paulsen, I think his imitation of Bob Ross was great and would never have guess he voiced Pinky on the animated series Pinky and The Brain. However, he needs a palette for his paintings and chooses the houses in Woodcrest and when he is caught Granddad forced him to take art lessons from the art teacher. I think that Riley chose to graffiti because they lived in the urban part of Chicago, which tend to be littered with that type of art form like much of NYC. I was not much interested in Huey’s experiment on whether television can negatively affect the health of black people who watch only black television programs like BET. I think that Riley is a visionary who uses art to envision the future unlike Huey who believes in conspiracies and government cover-ups only envisions the future based on the consequences of people not educating themselves and revolting against the government. Highlighting Riley’s artistic ability, this episode gives insight about his personality compared to Huey’s revolutionary one. I tried to mimic his techniques in my high school art class but later found out I was not using the correct type of brushes. I loved when he made water of any kind in his paining because he always got the reflection of the sky or trees just right in them that made the illusion of water. The show really used to reel me in because of Ross’s talent to create a beautiful scene when he painted. The likeness of the art teacher and of painter Bob Ross was definitely recognized in this episode. A program hosted by painter Bob Ross on PBS called The Joy of Painting mainly came to mind when I watched this episode when I got home from school. The public broadcasting service (PBS) that used to be the National Educational Service is viewer supported with commercial sponsors of specific programs. The advent of public broadcasting stations gave television viewers the opportunity to learn while we watched a program.
