Ratings Are In: The Boondocks beats the NBA

Granddad is confronted with a new roommate in season four of The Boondocks, premiering on Monday, April 21st at 10:30 p.m. (ET/PT) on Adult Swim.

Even FOX would be jealous of these overnight ratings! According to Deadline.com:

The series highs across all key demos, including adults 18-34 (1.40 million) and adults 18-49 (1.9 million), up 50% from the show’s previous season averages. It was Adult Swim’s most-watched primetime telecast among key adult demographics in at least five years.The Boondocks premiere was the No. 1 TV program in all of television last night — broadcast or cable — among Adult Swim’s target 18-34 demographic, topping NBC’s The Voice (1.36 million) and TNT’s NBA Playoffs coverage (1.16 million).

Even with these impressive numbers, I’m curious to how fans will react to the quality of the series minus Aaron McGruder no longer being part of the creative process. CM reviewed the latest episode and has thoughts of his own, but what do you guys think? Is The Boondocks REALLY back?
