The fourth and final season of The Boondocks premiered on Adult Swim last night and naturally whipped up a quite the frenzy.
As reported, the show’s creator Aaron McGruder did not return for the series’ penultimate run and has instead moved on to new project – ‘Black Jesus’.
Did this impact the show? And more importantly, has it impacted the perception of the series?
Well, after the Chris Brown-inspired first episode aired, it immediately became apparent that reaction was far from unanimous.
See what we mean below…
Catching up on the Boondocks from last night. Already in tears

I’m gonna enjoy this season of the boondocks — Woods51 (@WorldWide_Woods) April 22, 2014
#Boondocks was weak. Chris Brown/Rihanna storyline played but Uncle Ruckus was hilarious.

Uncle Ruckus, the most offensive and hilarious cartoon character ever created #Boondocks — Rhe Rheeeeee (@luvstylin) April 22, 2014
The Boondocks was a bit of a disappointment…I said it. I knew that changing the producer would have an impact. Or maybe low expectations?

We, here at TGJ, enjoyed the episode and are hopeful folk give it a chance – especially as we’re not privy to
First of all,I’m still completely wazzed at Boondocks coming back, I’ve been stanning ever since the announcement. Second,I enjoyed the episode,even though I think they should retire the whole Chrihanna thing,it never failed to make me laugh. Spathe thought of this being the last season makes me tear up,SMH.
First L&O, now Boondocks. Hey Riri, you’re a LAUGHING STOCK! Nobody respects you hun. You’re a punchline! 😆
Great News! I fuckingg LOVEEEEEE (In My Rihanna Voice) this show.
It was funny bc it was true ppl really be giving n***** chances over and over again
But I can tell Aaron is not involved and though it may seem small Jasmine was noticeably different
It’s been so Long since last season but I’ll still tune in
i like them this would be a good in 2011
i saw th first trailer this was not the premiere episode but with him in the news i think thy made that a the first one
funny moment im still a fan
i swear on my abs
even some Teambreezy thought it was funny
i swear on my abs XD
riley & huey look about 1 year older which i thought was cool but it wasnt that good & too centered around the same 2 characters last night was VERY LOUD & OBNOXIOUS for no reason. Next one should be better tho since Grandad goes bankrupt. ill give this season a chance cuz even arron had a few misses with certain episodes particularly in season 2.
I didn’t like this episode that much,it wasn’t a complete fail but I’ll watch the next few to see if they get better
