“The Boondocks” creator Aaron McGruder informedviewers of his edgy, irreverent Adult Swim series that Cartoon Network has unexpectedly shortened the 2nd season from a planned 15-episode run to 13.
Fifteen episodes were in fact produced but two, titled “The Huey Freeman Hunger Strike” and “The Ruckus Reality Show” aren’t currently scheduled to air, allegedly due to controversial material targeting Black Entertainment Television executives including Debra Lee and Reginald Hudlin.
On his Myspace page, McGruder has posted the following message to fans: “Okay, so … maybe it’s a 13-episode season." BRiSON has posted clips of the banned episodes.
Cartoon Network public relations senior vice president James Anderson confirmed to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution Tuesday that the two episodes in question “will not be airing on Adult Swim.” No further comment was given.
Will the two episodes will be included in the show’s 2nd season DVD set, tentatively due out later this year?

Check out the clip below of a hopefully-soon-to-be-released episode of The Boondocks. Here is the synopsis:
"Huey takes a stand against cable network B.E.T for its destruction of black people, and goes on a hunger strike. His protest catches the attention of media monger Rev Rollo Goodlove, much to the chagrin of the network's inept executives, Weggie Rudlin & Deborah Leevil."
