The Boondocks are needed in these times, breh. With Aaron in control, it would certainly see a resurgence. While you're at it, let Dave do 1 season of Chappelle Show and see if that don't do numbers as well.

The new series from creator Aaron McGruder will have 24 episodes and launch in fall of 2020 with a 50-minute special.
All 55 episodes of the original "The Boondocks" series will also be available on the direct-to-consumer offering at launch.
Based on the comic strip of the same name created by McGruder, the series took a satirical look at black culture through the eyes of a young militant, Huey Freeman, who lived with his brother Riley and grandfather, Robert.
The show earned both a cult following and a Peabody award for McGruder.
Sony Pictures Animation announced in June at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival that they would be bringing "The Boondocks" back.

'The Boondocks' is being rebooted with original creator Aaron McGruder on board
According to a press release, the new version "follows the adventures of self-proclaimed 'Civil Rights Legend' Robert 'Granddad' Freeman, and his two rambunctious grandsons Huey and Riley."
"The family has recently moved to an idyllic community in suburban Maryland only to see it taken over by the tyrannical Uncle Ruckus and his bizarre neo-fascist regime," the release said. "Life under Ruckus turns out to be an everyday struggle to survive."
"There's a unique opportunity to revisit the world of The Boondocks and do it over again for today," McGruder, a native of the suburban community Columbia, MD, said in a statement.
"It's crazy how different the times we live in are now -- both politically and culturally -- more than a decade past the original series and two decades past the original newspaper comic," he said. "There's a lot to say and it should be fun."
McGruder will serve as the series showrunner.

For sure.
Its coming back.
No need to age Huey or Riley. They’ve always been kids and kids they will remain
Grandad is an integral part of the show. If you bury him simply because John Witherspoon is dead then that means Huey and Riley HAVE to move back to Chicago, therefore invalidating the point of the entire series.
Grandad will have to be recast, provided the assumption that John Witherspoon didn’t record any voice work, then the show must go on with another voice actor.
