The Boondocks: Season 1 (2005-2006)

Season 1 of Aaron McGruder's oft-controversial social satire follows the animated adventures of two preadolescent African-American brothers trying to adjust to life in a Maryland suburb after moving from Chicago's inner city. Budding activist Huey Freeman and his mischievous younger brother Riley discover they don't meet eye to eye with many of their new neighbors and classmates. Meanwhile, their cantankerous grandfather and new guardian Robert Jebediah Freeman would rather lead a peaceful existence than take on the role of parent once again . The series, based on the comic strip of the same name, garnered a Peabody its inaugural season for an episode about Martin Luther King Jr. ("The Return of the King"). Other episode highlights include a plot to kidnap Oprah Winfrey headed up by Riley and a media-hyped fight between Robert and an old blind man. The regular voice cast features Regina King, John Witherspoon and Cedric Yarbrough. Season 1 guest voices include Ed Asner, Adam West, Quincy Jones, Charlie Murphy and Mike Epps.
