Chairman and chief executive Debra L. Lee, who succeeded the network’s founder, Robert Johnson, is shown as Debra Leevil, patterned after “Dr. Evil” in the “Austin Powers” films. Leevil declares in a staff meeting: “Our leader Bob Johnson had a dream, a dream that would accomplish what hundreds of years of slavery, Jim Crow and malt liquor could not accomplish — the destruction of black people.”

And BET president of Entertainment Reginald Hudlin is depicted as Wedgie Rudlin, a culturally insensitive buffoon coasting on his Ivy League education. The DVD release features stinging commentary from McGruder and Barnes about the episodes, which are uncut. In the introduction, McGruder said he went after BET because network executives, in his view, failed to elevate the network’s standards, something Hudlin had pointedly promised to do when joining the network three years ago.

However, news that the episodes will appear on the second season DVD suggests the feud between Turner-owned Cartoon Network and Viacom-owned BET will not end soon. Viewers, specifically within the Black community, have been disappointed with BET's programming for years. Especially after scrapping their news programming, many argue that BET only reinforces the stereotypes the channel was created to rebuff.

Are there any arguing that McGruder and "The Boondocks" went too far?
