The Boondocks

S01E08: The Real

While Riley is busy convincing two reality shows that Granddad's blind and running a homeless shelter, Huey is being shadowed by a secret government agent. But is he real?

Overview

When Robert “Granddad” Freeman becomes legal guardian to his two grandsons, he moves from the tough south side of Chicago to the upscale neighborhood of Woodcrest (a.k.a. "The Boondocks") so he can enjoy his golden years in safety and comfort. But with Huey, a 10-year-old leftist revolutionary, and his eight-year-old misfit brother, Riley, suburbia is about to be shaken up.
