The Boondocks is an American anime-influenced adult animated sitcom, created by Aaron McGruder for Cartoon Network's late-night programming block, Adult Swim.

The show focuses on a Black American family, the Freemans, settling into the fictional, friendly and predominantly White suburb of Woodcrest.
