As earlier reported, The Boondocks charged back onto the small screen this week for its final run after a four year hiatus.
Prior to its comeback, the Adult Swim hit had been the subject of many a headline – following the sudden and unexplained departure of creator Aaron McGruder.
It appears, however, that (at this point) the controversy has helped the show rather than hindered.
Find out why below…
Despite a mixed response from viewers, it’s clear Monday’s season premiere was a hotly-anticipated watch.
For, the episode generated the series highest ratings ever and was the most-watched primetime program on Adult Swim in over five years.
The first airing of the episode drew 1.4 million viewers in the 18-34 demo of adults, and the show was #1 on all of broadcast and cable programs in that same demo, “up 50% from viewers in the key demos.” {Source}

A great start. One has to wonder if the numbers will sustain in the weeks and months ahead, though.We sure hope so. For, it’d be a fitting end for a groundbreaking show.
This show doesn’t beat South Park in my opinion….

@FutureCIARA: I’m not so sure South Park and Boondocks are even in the same league. While SP can have a bit more of a bite comically, they have the advantage of making one episode in six days. Long story short, they get to hit current events faster. People hit the Boondocks premiere by saying the Chris Brown/Rihanna storyline should have been done a long time ago, but the reality is it couldn’t.
Furthermore, Boondocks talks of African-American issues and complexities, while South Park talks a bit more of politics as a whole. The Boondocks has no qualms with pointing out contradictions both in White and Black culture.
