The fourth and final season of the animated television series The Boondocks premiered in the United States on Cartoon Network's late night programming block, Adult Swim, on April 21, 2014 with 'Pretty Boy Flizzy', and ended with 'The New Black' on June 23, 2014 with a total of ten episodes.[2] The season was produced without any involvement from series creator Aaron McGruder.[3] This is the only season produced and animated by the South Korean studio Mir.
The Boondocks Season 4 is pretty disappointing being let down by lazy writing and there's hardly any effort put into creative plot or character development. While it's enjoyable to watch Granddad. Good riddance to this season and good riddance to ignorance. Tags: Aaron McGruder, Adult Swim, Animation, cartoons, episode 10, The Boondocks, The Boondocks Season 4, the new black Share.
