"Riley Wuz Here" and "The Joy of Painting, with Bob Ross"

The article fails to mention the Bob Ross inspired art teacher that works with Riley. He was based on Ross from hair style and calm demeanor to his love of "happy paintings" of nature.

Also, the youthful Robert Freeman looks exactly like McGruder.

Soundtrack Listing?!?!?!

There should be Soundtrack listing with their respective lyrics. Also, is the song sung by R.Kelly in "The Trial of R.Kelly" actually a song or just a little something made by the music producers for the show?

The Color Ruckus & Fried Chicken Flu

Why does "The Color Ruckus" and "Fried Chicken Flu" redirect here? They used to have articles before. 216.221.90.121 (talk) 16:52, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Yea, I don't understand this. All of the other episodes have pages, and "The Fried Chicken Flu" used to have an article. Is it subject to deletion for some reason. The servers cant handle the massive data of a page of text? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.245.99.216 (talk) 18:10, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Not confirmed to be canceled as of yet.

Please provide a link for the line "There are no plans for a fourth season although Adult Swim has expressed intrest in eventually bringing back the series." :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.246.84.216 (talk) 05:17, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Don't know who posted that nonsense but nobody's really said anything official about whether or not there'll be a fourth season. [AS] said they want more in a bump right before the season finale aired. Article has been fixed to reflect the true amount of information we have. (173.73.43.210 (talk) 21:09, 17 August 2010 (UTC))

Answer to the final season

The only way to find out is to buy the dvd here And upload or write the answer to the question is this the final Season. Sondow209 (talk) 20:22, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Social satire of African American culture?

Wouldn't urban culture be more accurate? While the urban culture demographic is largely african american, not all african americans follow the culture. Seems kind of silly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.183.71.2 (talk) 07:53, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

Dispute

Can you please stop removing that it ended on June 23? Cartoon Network has said several times it was the final season. Even the complete series has been released on DVD this past week. Now can we please stop the madness? Koala15 (talk) 04:48, 29 June 2014 (UTC)

State where Woodcrest is

There has been an edit war going on over whether Woodcrest is in Maryland or Illinois. I'm not sure which one is correct and the reference listed in the article is to a comic strip that does not give the state it just Huey simply says that his address is in Woodcrest but does not mention the state. I think a better reference would to help end the edit war. If some one could find one or reference the pilot episode when they mention the state (if they do) that would be helpful. Thanks--Mo Rock...Monstrous (talk) 13:10, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

According to the current Source, Huey's phone number is in Area Code 443, which is strictly in Maryland. Therefore, it's safe to say the setting of this show takes place in Woodcrest, Maryland. Any edit claiming Illinois is without proof. Notably, the show makes many references to Maryland itself, and it's possible that this was based on Aaron McGruder's college days when he went to the University of Maryland. 70.156.151.104 (talk) 20:05, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
Woodcrest has been said to be based off the real life Chicago suburb, Crestwood, so it seems that the show should take place in Illinois. Aaron McGruder could have just been using his own phone number in the aforementioned quote. Neither the show or the comic strip ever make any references to Maryland so it seems unlikely that Woodcrest would take place there. 24.107.108.138 (talk) 21:25, 2 September 2010 (UTC) 24.107.108.138 (talk) 21:20, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
Okay, since there is ambiguity to the location as to where this Woodcrest is (and since the Comic cited does not name a state), I will remove any mention of the State where Woodcrest is and just leave it at "Woodcrest." We need to stop reverting this article between Maryland and Illinois since it appears both arguments have not been proven. In addition, it is a fictional suburb, therefore it is possible that Woodcrest could be anywhere in the US. This results in a sort of "Springfield" argument as to where the actual location of Springfield is in The Simpsons. Therefore, no State should be given in this article. Thanks. 74.225.117.109 (talk) 03:48, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
One more thing to add, where have you seen that Woodcrest is related to Crestwood, Illinois? This could just be a rumor and Original Research. Anyway, i'm just curious. Plus, the comic strictly states Area Code 443, which should be hard evidence for the Maryland side of the argument. If Huey was to be living in Woodcrest (Crestwood), Illinois, then Aaron McGruder would've drawn the comic with Huey saying his number with an Area code 708. 74.225.117.109 (talk) 03:55, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

I have found a second source in The New Yorker which explicitly states that Woodcrest was based on Columbia, Maryland. You can find it in page 2 of the article "The Radical." So this should end the argument. I have reverted the article to state Woodcrest is in Maryland and also cited the publication in the article. Look it up for it yourself. 72.153.88.184 (talk) 23:40, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

The article mentioned above never states that Woodcrest is supposed to take place in Maryland nor does McGruder ever back up this claim anywhere in the article. Until definitive proof is provided please give no state. 24.107.108.138 (talk) 06:04, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
Okay, listen closely because this is the last time I will try to explain why there is mounting evidence for Woodcrest being in Maryland: in the first source, Aaron McGruder draws Huey stating his phone number in an area code in Maryland. In the 2nd source, the article states Columbia, Maryland was used as inspiration for Woodcrest. The fact that McGruder has given Huey a phone number in Maryland is enough evidence to prove this takes place in Maryland. The comic strip in the first source has backed up evidence on the article in the second source. If you did not find the anything about Columbia, Maryland in The New Yorker's article, PLEASE re-read it very closely. In fact, do a word find on page two of "The Radical" and you should find the line stating Columbia was inspiration for Woodcrest. And please do a google search on where Area Code 443 is. 70.156.237.59 (talk) 03:40, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
I realize the article mentioned Columbia, Maryland, but there is no quote from McGruder saying that it was the actual inspiration for Woodcrest nor is there one saying that Woodcrest is supposed to take place in Maryland. 24.107.108.138 (talk) 09:16, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
What about using the area code as proof? What do you have against that? 72.144.155.48 (talk) 13:45, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
Like I said before, McGruder could have just been using his phone number from when he lived in Maryland. He probably wasn't trying to insinuate that Woodcrest is in Maryland because he has never said that anywhere else before. 24.107.88.3 (talk) 05:21, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
That is Original Research and it still does not answer the question. Why is the area code not sufficient to be used as a source? 72.153.202.94 (talk) 11:42, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
Actually by using that source it is a synthesis of the material. Nothing was stated directly, we're just assuming that this one mention of an area code was meant to be taken as a proclamation of fact. If/when McGruder ever makes a direct statement about where Woodcrest is located then that can go in. Right now it looks like we're trying to analyze the text and look for clues to the answers of great mysteries. It's probably best to leave it out until something really good comes along. SQGibbon (talk) 06:54, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
How reputable is CinemaBlend.com [1] so it may be used as a source? I've found a source here: [2]. 72.153.202.74 (talk) 12:05, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
Not sure how reliable a source they are in general but that particular article doesn't really give us any reason to think there was any research put into the Maryland issue. For all we know the author might have just been quoting an older version of Wikipedia. SQGibbon (talk) 02:49, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
In the episode "Fried Chicken Flu" there is a scene where the reporter is reporting the flu's effect on Maryland. Also the one episode where the Freeman family fly back to Chicago is evidence enough. Why would they take a plane from one Illinois suburb to Chicago? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.220.220.71 (talk) 01:45, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
probably because it is a cartoon, they dont have to make sense.Millertime246 (talk) 21:10, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
GUYS. Why don't we just leave the location of Woodcrest ambiguous in the main paragraph, and then pull it out into a separate section of this page, "Speculation about the location of Woodcrest." Much like the Setting subheading of the Simpsons article?? Then all this conversation can be immortalized with the sources you guys keep referencing.--Shibbolethink (talk) 22:03, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

Aaron McGruder and Season 4 - Weasel langauge ?

The introductory paragraph to the article says,

"The fourth and final season was produced without the same level of involvement from series creator Aaron McGruder.[3]"

The reference cited states that McGruder was not involved in the Season 4. I have read other sources that state the same thing. I feel this language deliberately obfuscates the truth.

Agreed. Feel free to fix it. EvergreenFir (talk) Please {{re}} 16:47, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation page

Now that the 2020 reboot has been officially announced, I assume that both the original series and the upcoming reboot have to be distinguisable from each other, right? Just suggesting for a future page rename -Gouleg (Talk • Contribs) 19:53, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

New page for Reboot.

Isn't it about time to create a new page for the upcoming Boondocks reboot (ie, ThunderCats (2011 TV series), Charlie's Angels (2011 TV series), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012 TV series), The Powerpuff Girls (2016 TV series), etc.), rather than continue to mess with this page and the episode list? We now know where it's airing, we know who's producing it, we know how many seasons are being produced at the moment, and we have an expected date for its premiere. That should be enough. MarcoPolo250 (talk) 17:28, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
