Regina King Voices Frustrations on Boondock's Delay


"I am so happy that it is coming back," King told BV Newswire, but added, "I wish there was some Web site that people could send [a message] to Sony [Television Entertainment] ... and say 'What are youThe Boondocks Aaron McGruder doing?'" she charged.

"'Boondocks could be so bigger than what it is," the former '227' actress furthered. "If I had the money to buy 'The Boondocks' off Sony, I would because all of you would be wearing 'Boondocks' T-shirts and there would be Huey and Riley dolls. I would capitalize off of that, and I would be a very rich woman."


Please, we know these corporate big wigs aren't going to fast track a show as REAL as the Boondocks. Can't have too much success for a program like that huh?

In Classic Boondocks Style no current popular social figures are safe...

"We are coming for some people, ya know, in true 'Boondocks' fashion," King revealed.

The divorced mother of a 14-year-old son said that she is happy with how teenagers and young adults respond to the show and its satirical subject matters.

"[With[ the kids that are 16 through 25, they see the ridiculousness in things that are in videos when we make a parody out of it. ... They get it for exactly what it is, and I think it calls them on a lot of the stupid things that they embrace."

"They have never seen it in a caricature way," she added. "[When the kids] are seeing it in a video, it's cool, but when you see it silly in a cartoon, it's like, 'Yeah, Soulja Boy isn't that dope,' she laughed.

"No diss to him, but we have in the new episodes this song where they guy is [rapping] 'Crank That Artichoke' because some of the hooks are so ridiculous. Of course, Aaron is going to go in and I'm excited about it."
