Namely, that Aaron McGruder’s pen was in fact the blade that cut deepest. Once the first thirty seconds of the fourth and final season’s premiere episode “Pretty Boy Flizzy” (watch below) played through, it was blatantly apparent to this Okayplayer that the moment we had all feared was upon us. But at what cost my dear patrons? Those that tuned in at 10:30pm Monday saw a show that merely resembled the spectacle Aaron McGruder conceived and brought to the masses. An impressive return to the spotlight for what was once very much a cult-only following. Enough of one in fact, to incite a record-setting ratings spike, blowing out primetime staples like NBC’s The Voice and even the NBA Playoffs with a whopping 1.4 millions viewers in the 18-34 demographic alone. After what seemed like ages (really only 4 years) The Boondocks made its triumphant return to Adult Swim, putting all manner of fans and stans into a frenzy.
