The third season of the animated television series, The Boondocks originally aired in the United States on Cartoon Network's late night programming block, Adult Swim. Season three started on May 2, 2010 with "It's a Black President, Huey Freeman" and ended with "It's Goin Down" on August 15, 2010 with a total of fifteen episodes. The season debuted at 2.55 million viewers
All fifteen episodes from season three were released completely uncensored on a three-disc DVD set in the United States on November 9, 2010. In addition all episodes from season three are available on the iTunes Store.
Sung Dae Kang and Young Chan Kim served as directors for season three, and series creator Aaron McGruder and Rodney Barnes served as writers for season three. All episodes in season three originally aired in the United States on Cartoon Network's late night programming block, Adult Swim, and are rated TV-MA for graphic violence and dangerous activity (mostly involving children), explicit language (mostly heavy use of racist, sexist, and homophobic slurs and bleeped-out profanity), and infrequent instances of strong sexual content. This season was originally announced as the final season, however, a fourth season was later announced. This was the final season that was written by Aaron McGruder.
The episodes "The Ballad of Jimmy Rebel" and "Pause" were banned after their first showing on Adult Swim; "The Ballad of Jimmy Rebel" for being heavily racist, and "Pause", after Tyler Perry complained that the character Winston Jerome—a God-fearing, ambiguously homosexual, cross-dressing playwright who creates African-American melodramas featuring Jerome as a sassy, oversexed, old black woman that get adapted into feature films—was a parody of him. Netflix in America doesn't air either episode nor has the episode appeared in reruns, but the complete DVD set of The Boondocks and the Canadian feed of Netflix have the missing episodes.
Season three features guest appearances from Werner Herzog, Bill Maher, DJ Vlad, Charlie Murphy, Edward Asner, Michael Jai White, Aries Spears, John Landis, Clifton Powell, Samuel L. Jackson, Billy Dee Williams, Gina Torres, Mark Hamill, Marion Ross, Luenell, Don 'D.C.' Curry, Star Jones, and John C. McGinley.
