The show–which originally ran for three seasons from 2005-2010 and came back for its fourth and final season this past Monday–not only broke ground, both for Adult Swim and adult animation in general, it also helped me overcome an ignorant dismissal of hip-hop culture (the show’s music use pretty much informed the way my personal taste has shifted since I first discovered it in ’09) and provoked me into being more thoughtful when it comes to issues of race and politics ( as silly as that might seem).
That might sound odd, since, as you’ll notice from the picture on my about page, I am one of the whitest people you’ll ever see, but I love the show (and I’ve come to appreciate its comic strip parent in a way I couldn’t when I was younger) and I actually legitimately think it’s one of the greatest animated series of all time. The Boondocks is one of my favorite television series of all time.
