"The Boondocks" Second Season Premiere's This Fall

The Boondocks by definition is a rural undeveloped area, wild dense brush or jungle. The writer of the comic strip series "The Boondocks", Aaron McGruder must have a sense of humor and a love for playing on words. The series takes place in the suburbs of America where two young African American kids Huey and Riley are being raised by their granddad Robert Jebediah Freeman. The highlights in the series are discussions on race matters, politics, the state of hip hop and interestingly enough self hatred. The viewer is not only evoked to laughter but also consciousness is raised to the deeply seated issues of American society. The Boondocks will return for a second season this fall with many of the series previous characters in addition to a few surprise guest voice appearances from modern hip hop artists, actors and entertainers.

Here's a brief description of the main characters from last season:

Huey is a ten year old revolutionary. This particular character is no stranger to controversy and having a militant state of mind. Huey would probably be at the center of any boycott or political rally. He has a voice that refuses to be silenced or manipulated into following the crowd.

Riley is the 8 year old troublemaker. The granddad Robert Freeman is always yelling or reprimanding young Riley for his devious actions. Riley just loves to play around and not take anything too seriously.

Granddad believes in nontraditional child rearing consisting of yelling, spanking and tough love. Granddad may not be a spokesperson for family value idealism but he is genuinely concerned about Huey and Riley's well being.
