Will The Boondocks Really End Sunday Night?

This season of Aaron McGruder‘s award winning, satirical comic-turned-cartoon The Boondocks began on a bittersweet note. The promotional trailer opened with the words “The Final Season.” However, with only one episode to go, details on the truth in this statement as well as reasons for the departure of the hit series have been virtually nonexistent. To make matters worse, the network (Adult Swim) remains ambiguous as to whether or not we can all kiss Huey, Riley, and the gang goodbye.

For one thing, in the promos that have aired all week the upcoming and final episode is touted as a “season finale,” not a “series finale.” On top of that, BoondocksBootleg.com, described as the “official unofficial website of The Boondocks” and launched/approved by McGruder himself, has a thread that allows fans of the series to pitch ideas for new episodes for the series. Hit animated series Family Guy has employed this same tactic, so it may be that some of the ideas get used or that they at least provide starting points for episodes and story arcs for the series. At any rate, the series may not be over yet.

Man I hope this isn't the end. A recent Adult Swim bump featured viewer mail, inquiring as to whether there may one day be a Boondocks movie - the reply was that, given the 3-year waiting period between seasons, they didn't see Aaron McGruder and Co. taking more time off to make a feature film. No mention of this being the last season in that bump, or in any other promos I've seen, except for the pre-season trailers featured on boondocksbootleg.com.

Can anyone confirm or deny this? Preferably deny?
