Probably more of the same. I think Riley is the Snoopy of the series, the crazy character, the one everyone loves. I mean I think Huey is the main character, but Riley is the star. Id expect to see more of Riley Freeman, Granddad to get a steady girlfriend that is near his age, Jazmine's racial conflict, More holiday based episodes like Return of the King & Huey Freeman Christmas. Id love to see a Valentines Day, Easter & Halloween episode. Black people do some weird things on those days.

I'd like to see more Cindy in the show. I hope Caesar is in this season too. More of the White Shadow, since we only saw him twice...

Cindy is a really funny character, and she isnt really like the comic strip, We do need to see more of her!

Hope producers do not give into pressure of centering the show around Riley's antics(However entertaining)...especially at the expense of Huey losing his voice again(i.e.as in season 2) It was nice to see Huey get back on that soap-box and lead many of the smarter and more controversial moments of season 3...even if 'no one listens.' Comedic genius of the show is based on Huey's 'radical' perspective of social issues in the African-American community especially in contrast to that of Riley. More Riley in Season 4 would mean less thought-provoking television...
Season 4 should build on season 3 to develop Huey's character and story. Maybe a like-minded girlfriend for Huey who is really a junior undercover CIA agent sent to J Edgar to 're-intergrate' Huey...Not unlike strategy currently used by U.S. Army in Middle-East. It could be funny to see Huey out-of-character to impress this girl(listening to sapy love songs, braided/cut hair, tight jeans, going to see a Winston Jerome movie etc...)...jazmie is jealous....and of course Riley thinks Huey is gay and should put his homies over this 'hoe.' Obama references in season 3 were great and this can be exploited more in season 4 if HUey runs for school president...but its not as easy to fight the system from within as he thinks.

Basically what others said above : ), except the "centering the show on Riley" : (. I like Riley. I think that him and Grandad is the main humorous characters on the show, but after all us fans forget that this is Huey's show. I read bits and pieces of the comic books (Sorry, I couldn't really get into them ^__^') and mainly it's about Huey. Season 1 was centering around Huey as well, and imo, the first season was the best season, so let's keep it mainly about Huey : ), even though I enjoyed every episode of The Boondocks, I really miss Huey "radical perspective" as another member has stated : ). Lately it's been mostly about Riley, Grandad, and Ruckus, which imo, the Ruckus episodes were kind of dry on the humor and more on the boring side to me ^__^'.
I agree with the comment above me that season 4 should build on season 3 to develop Huey's character and story. In this depressing period of Huey's character in the recent season and his loss of hope, this would be a great opportunity to introduce Ceaser on the show, since Huey is obviously a bit anti social, reguading Jazmine as his "friend", which he never confirmed. Ceaser is similair to Huey but he is more optimistic. He is more like Huey's yang, so he will be able to give Huey his confidence back.
As for my expection for season 4:
- More Cindy McPhearson.
- More Jazmine. Besides Huey, she is my second favorite character on the show. I would like to see more of her cuteness on the show : ).
- A little less Riley imo ^__^'.
- A lot less Ruckus.
- A little less Grandad imo.
- Definitely more Huey.
- Cesar and Hiro to be introduce to the show.
- I am curious about what had happened to Huey and Riley's parents, so hopefully Aaron can add details.
- I would like to see a musical episode as well ^__^.
- More epic fight scenes.
- A comeback of Luna alianced with stinkmeaner in hell.
- I would like to see friendship development between all of the kids invovled in the series.
- Butch Magnus rivalry.
- More Huey and Jazmine together (as friends ^__^).
- And more Huey and Riley rivalry.
I think that's all : ), though I think it's a bit too much ^__^'.

I'd like to add a few more ideas;
Interactions with Caesar and Jasmine, since there was so little it the comics
Stinkmeaner strikes back (again) like what SarahLynne said, an alliance with Luna
Huey and Caesar quip back and forth about black pop culture like in the comics
On the topic of Caesar, I'm crossing my fingers he's in the new season. He was a big part of the comic, it's weird he's not in the show. I mean, it like he missed all the craziness that happened on the show.
Also, it would be nice to have some insight on Huey and Riley's past. It's suggested their parents are dead, they might've been lower middle class since Riley said, I quote " Where was Santa when we was in the hood, huh? Santa ain't showin' nigga no love back then!" and "Remember when we used to sleep in the same bed when we was littler?" but their parents left a large enough inheritance for Granddad to buy that house (that house is pretty huge). Many an episode explaining that.
How does Huey know Kung fu?
More Riley showing his artistic side
More parodies
A weird scavenger hunter-esque episode with a hide speed chase and a lot of fighting
I thought it would be cool if Granddad was making a decision and a devil (Riley) and a angel (Huey} would appear on his shoulder
Showing more of Huey's conspiracy theorist side
Season 4 might just be a more Huey centered season. If Caesar's there he might have someone who'll listen to his rants(though humorous remarks are to be expected) But the antics of Riley, Granddad, and everyone else should be kept.

I like some of your idea Sarahlynn, I have just read on the Book Right to Be Hostile.I dont really like the over use of Huey because he is not very entertaining to me. I really dont even like to see Huey without Riley or Jasmine. I have seen all the eps and I have to say TOM is the one I hate the most. I hate how he acts and hate that he has a white wife. If he acted that way with a black wife that acted like Sarah id be ok with him, but TOM is like the most annoying character on the show. I want to see more Cindy McPherson and more of Jasmine. Id also like to see a Halloween, Thanksgiving & Valentines Day episode, kinda like a new version of those older Peanuts specials with a Boondocks twist to it.

Yeah, I read that one too and Public Enemy #2 and I couldn't to get into them either nor Huey's character in the comics, but I am really into Huey's character on the show, although that's just my opinion about him . I can totally see why some people aren't really into Huey. I wasn't a fan of his myself when I first watched the show, but then I notice that he was really smart, shy, and attractive (despite him being a cartoon ^___^') which is my type in a guy =^___^=.
Well, I don't necessarily want the show to be mainly centering on Huey on every episode ^___^', but I really do want to see him more on the show, since it has been mainly about since the beginning. I just want Aaron to alternate characters throughout the season, you know? Not just make it the Grandad, Riley, and Ruckus ; ). Maybe a side plot on each episode could help that.
