I have done a rewatch of the show recently. I am up to the 4th and final season. The creator was not involved in it and I can somewhat tell. I think it sucks when the creator leaves a show, but it is whatever.
Has anyone else watched the show? Thoughts and opinions? I personally loved the show as a white as hell person, and think it is funny. I honestly feel everybody does a good job in the show, especially how weird and crazy Uncle Ruckus is.
Adult Swim banned about 4-5 episodes of this in the USA due to controversy due to the content. The R Kelly episode was only temp banned, though. You can watch all banned episodes on HBO Max besides the Jimmy Rebel episode.
Banned episode info thanks to Tv Tropes:
- The Hunger Strike" and "The Uncle Ruckus Reality Show", which openly and viciously lampooned BET, were removed due to legal threats from BET and its parent company Paramount Global. These two episodes finally premiered on [adult swim] on May 29, 2020, during a Boondocks marathon, while Canadian cartoon channel Teletoon aired the episodes with a warning that stated that the jokes about BET were not the views and opinions of anyone who worked at Teletoon. They are now available on HBO Max completely uncut.
- "The Story of Jimmy Rebel" and "Pause" have not been seen much in reruns. The former was banned because it was deemed to be too racist, while the latter was banned because Tyler Perry complained that Winston Jerome was based on him. "Pause" finally reran again on [adult swim] during the aforementioned Boondocks marathon, and is now on HBO Max.
- After the documentary Surviving R. Kelly came out in 2019, [adult swim] started skipping "The Trial of R. Kelly" during their regular rotation. Ironically, this happened when Huey's "The Reason You Suck" Speech towards R. Kelly and everyone dancing in court after R. Kelly is found innocent went viral online. In 2020, it returned to rotation and HBO Max has the episode uncut and uncensored.
