From what I've heard, AS just didn't promote this show at all. Which is a bit of a shame, as while S2 didn't make me laugh quite as hard as the first, it was still pretty experimental with The Wiz and Jaws parodies being the best.

Ah well, at least it had a good run and it's not like I have nothing else to watch on AS at the moment. Still, I'll miss Thick James, Li'l Rodney King and the like...

That's a real shame. Loved the show.

I'll definitely be getting the "complete series" collection on home video if and when it comes out.


Send her to the snakes!

That's a damn shame! This show was everything! I'll definitely order the complete seasons on DVD to show my support; and hopefully they do a Black Dynamite 2 movie. It has too much potential as a brand to let die.

Carl Jones: Black Dynamite Animation Got Cancelled After My CNN Interview about Police (Part 12)

The "Black Dynamite" animated series was a unique entry in the world of television animation, offering a parody of blaxploitation films and boasting a cast that included talents like Samuel L. Jackson and Arsenio Hall. Despite the show’s popularity, it was canceled after its second season. The series took on complex social issues, including police brutality, leading to prominent media appearances for its creators. However, the second season’s themes and its daring explorations at blaxploitation were allegedly considered "too smart for the audience" with a push from network executives who preferred lighter, more comedic content. The cancellation came after an interview on CNN where Carl Jones advocated for controlling how Black people are represented in media. Despite its premature end, "Black Dynamite" holds a place in animation history for its boldness and willingness to engage with challenging social themes.
