The complete first season of the [adult swim] hit The Boondocks is slated to arrive on DVD and PSP on June 13. Based Aaron McGruder’s award-winning and politically-charged comic strip, the controversial animated series will be packaged as a three-disc set featuring all 15 episodes and extensive bonus features.
The Boondocks chronicles the culture clash experienced by two streetwise Chicago boys who are sent to the suburbs to live with their irascible grandfather. Huey, a 10-year-old left-wing revolutionary, tries to inform his affluent, apathetic neighbors of social issues while looking out for his 8-year-old brother, Riley, a proud product of contemporary rap culture.
The show’s Nov. 6, 2005 debut ranked as the best series premiere in the history of [adult swim], Cartoon Networks’ late-night animation showcase for adults. The series consistently ranks among the top programs on basic cable each week and was recently nominated for the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Comedy Series. In 2002, McGruder received the prestigious NAACP Chairman’s Award.
The Boondocks: The Complete First Season will include a behind-the-scenes featurette, commentary on select episodes, deleted scenes and animatic compilations, among others.
