Brace yourself because a brand new season of Black America’s favorite socially conscious cartoon series “The Boondocks” has been confirmed, according to Shadow and Act. Back in March there was word the show may be returning for a fourth season. Regina King, the voice of Huey and Riley Freeman, shared in a radio interview that the creator was working on bringing it back, along with a feature film. “I talked to Aaron and it looks like they’re working things out. I’m trying to be positive. But you know you say one thing and the next thing you know it just fell apart. But it looks strong like we’re coming back.” Thursday confirmation came from the Adult Swim’s website, basically advertising the new season of the show.

MTV announced that it will move the start time of its “Video Music Awards” on Sept. 6 in Los Angeles so it won’t conflict with President Obama’s acceptance speech the same night at the Democratic National Convention. “We will be airing the “VMAs” on Thursday, September 6th from 8-10 p.m. as opposed to our traditional 9-11 p.m. time slot to avoid conflict with the Democratic National Convention proceedings that evening,” a MTV spokesperson told Deadline. The DNC has not said when exactly the president is scheduled to speak at the convention in Charlotte, N.C. Past nominees traditionally begin around 10 p.m. EST. This is the second broadcast schedule move around the president’s speech; the NFL said in February it was moving its 2012 regular-season opener on NBC from Sept. 6 to Sept. 5 (a Wednesday) to avoid conflicting with Obama.
