![]() ![]() Maybe the Times has inside information it can’t attribute for whatever reason? The Los Angeles Times speculates that “The absence of a writing credit indicates that the installment was likely written by McGruder.” I’m not sure how the missing writing credit makes it “likely” that McGruder wrote the episode it seems it could just as easily indicate that the episode was rewritten without his consent and he wanted his name taken off it, or that it was written by committee and nobody could agree on credit (or blame), or that there was some other behind-the-scenes craziness we don’t know about. ![]() Tonight’s episode is marked as “402” and next week’s is “404.” The second has no writing credit. The series’ long-delayed final season proceeded without him, after he and the network disagreed over a schedule for delivering new episodes (the details are fuzzy McGruder’s statement is here). Adult Swim sent out two episodes for critics, tonight’s and next week’s. Series creator Aaron McGruder, who adapted the animated show from his own newspaper strip, isn’t involved anymore. You can’t figure out exactly what, but you can feel it. It’s a zombie show, like the Dan Harmon–less fourth season of Community. It’s not terrible, but it doesn’t seem like itself. I’ll be brief about the fourth and final season of The Boondocks, the Adult Swim series about ten-year-old black militant Huey Freeman, his gangsta-wanna-be kid brother, Riley, and their nonsensically yammering, ladies-loving caretaker, Granddad.
