I wanna give props to Schmoe "TarantinoDork", who in a news item I posted late last year about David Simon ("The Wire"), said the following: "You don't compare one David Simon show to another David Simon show. You compare it to every other show ever made, that wasn't made by David Simon." You're exactly right, man. There's gonna be some great shows coming to television this year, but for my money, nothing comes close to the significance of "Treme", the latest dramatic offering from Simon that looks at the lives of musicians and other locals after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina.

Below we have the latest "Treme" trailer, courtesy of HBO. In the link I mention above, Simon tells Vice Magazine that the upcoming series is "a celebration of what we’re capable of as Americans." You feel that in this trailer, and it's what i suspect will be the show's overarching theme.

"Treme" will air this April on HBO.

Thanks to my owl-loving friend Werbal for the heads up!

Extra Tidbit: Wilson Bethel, of David Simon's other work "Generation Kill", is apparently up for the role of Captain America. How long is that list getting?!

Merci Beaucoup for the shout out
When David Simon passes on to the next life his headstone ought to read "You Come At the King, You Best Not Miss."

this looks fantastic and i know ill get killed 4 this but I wasn't a huge fan of The Wire. I bought it after I heard it was the best television series of all-time and I thought it was a bit overrated. Maybe it's because I don't care for the streets and I've seen enough cop dramas to last a lifetime but I didn't see it as phenomenal.

I'm in!!!
David Simon has earned the benefit of the doubt for life. I'll watch the entire first season no matter what and try to keep in mind that his stuff usually starts slow and takes its time...



I CAN'T WAIT!!!

Besides Breaking Bad, 24, and Sons of Anarchy. HBO is doing a great job of creating watchable TV shows that destroy anything on cable network television. I will always have HBO and Showtime.

HBO-The Pacific, True Blood, Boardwalk Empire, Treme, Eastbound and Down, and In Treatment.

Showtime- Dexter, and Calfornication.

I actually wish Breaking Bad aired on HBO or Showtime...

I actually wish Breaking Bad aired on HBO or Showtime because that was what it was originally geared for now that its censored in many parts.

Looks like another underrated series from David Simon, sure to receive not a single Emmy nomination. I like how a lot of film critics when polled listed the entire series of "The Wire" as the best film of the decade.

Awesome. I'm loving the aesthetic - the hyper-realistic and yet somehow still stylized look that was ever so prominent in The Wire. The trailer certainly sets a promising tone for the show. And what a cast! We've got at least two Wire alumni, but I'm pretty sure I saw Steve Zahn and Melissa Leo in there as well! Good stuff.
