Carl Jones talked about the creative tensions behind the animated series, "The Boondocks." After working together on three seasons, Aaron McGruder and Carl had a fallout, which marked the climax of the series in season three. The catalyst for the disagreement was a problematic episode featuring Vlad. However, it subsequently emerged that the deeper issue was Aaron's concerns about Carl's ability to balance working on both "The Boondocks" and the "Black Dynamite" pilot, which Carl had been developing independently. Despite Adult Swim's efforts to reconcile the pair for a fourth season, Aaron refused to concede, and Carl was also excluded from the new season. The fallout between Aaron and Carl left the fourth season in disarray, and ultimately marked the downfall of "The Boondocks."
