As long as the writers(you know the underpaid, fresh out of college kids who actually put in all the long hours and dedication to make this funny while guys like Gruder makes all the money) are still there it will be fine. LOL@you dudes thinking one person makes the show.

Yeah that Tom screenshot has me looking forward to this.

Tom and his wife and Riley are the most hilarious characters in the show, IMO.
don't forget ruckus & slick back

Donnell Rawlings said when they was seating in the chair getting their costumes and make-up removed from that sketch. That Dave said Donnell, "So, this is why I sold my soul for $50 millions for".



Donnell said he never seen Dave again after that day. :yeshrug:
Funny how how didn't realize that before the check cleared.

I'm sure they cut him a check to leave. They can't just take his characters and go on with the show. This is different than the Chappelle situation because they had already cut that 50 million dollar check and said fukk it and did the 3rd season. I'm not even mad at em. :yeshrug:
He sold his rights back in 03.

They absolutely could take his characters and go with the show because they paid him 11 years ago.

Hopefully he hired enough black writers, who understood and agreed with his agenda during his time there, where maybe his departure will just give them an opportunity to shine, while keeping the show's original agenda in tact
Somebody tell @Bittasweet that Santa Clause don't exist. If he did hire black writers that will have a different agenda...they'll get fired quick breh. :aicmon:

You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about THE WRITING TEAM IS BLACK...
This is one of the main writers
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rodney-barnes/

Go watch the DVD extra's man...
That wasnt the point I was trying to make. The point I am making is that if for some reason the networked wanted to go in a different direction and Aaron had a staff already hand picked before leaving...the network would just fire the writers.

After reading this thread, I hear that there is a black writing staff so I got you.

Aaron McGruder is an Uncle Tom, so I don't even have to read through this thread to know that he is getting made love on here. :heh:
