Ok, I'm pretty confident that the show will be superb. I mean we are talking David Simon, Eric Overmeyer and George Pelacanos collaborating with Piazza, and we have Bunk and Freamon along with Kay Howard acting. But I hope we don't have another Frank's Place, where the show is excellent, and rings true to the Crescent City, but it fails to find an audience.
I think HBO will give David Simon the 10 episodes at least. I mean they gave David Milch a season of that horrible John From Cincinnati.
HBO I think are putting there hopes on Boardwalk Empire with Steve Buscemi about the forming of the casinos in Atlantic City, but I think Treme will wind up being phenomenal just because of the ensemble involve.
Re: “A City of Treme Characters”
Next year the excitement of the Saints coming back and the NFC championship run is probably going to be a theme. The return of crime will probably be another theme. Speaking of which, I would like to see that Texas bouncer who came back with Sonny do like the guy who was walking in the Quarters with his girlfriend and kills the robber who tried to rob them.
