Anthony Anderson was great on the Shield.

 

[metsallica]

Had no idea! Still hate him! I lost interest after the first two seasons of The Shield; will get back to it someday.

Anthony Anderson was great on the Shield.

He really was.

Can't wait. Love this show.

Can't wait. Love this show.

Agreed. It's HBO's best drama now that Luck is cancelled.

Still no date? It's not even in my tv show tracker as TBA :/

 

[Cornballer]

Still no date?

Nope. It'll be on in the Fall sometime.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

The wait is sooo long Still the most overlooked TV show, both on GAF and in the wider world.

- HBO's 'Treme' will return in late September

No official announcement yet, but HBO is eyeing September 23 or 30 for the season-three return of “Treme.” As speculated when the network announced that season three wouldn’t run in spring as the New Orleans post-Katrina drama’s first two seasons had, “Treme” will likely be paired with “Boardwalk Empire,” though the Atlantic City-set prohibition drama is slated to return first. Production on the 10 episodes of “Treme’s” third season wrapped in May.

More via the link including a video of David Simon talking about S3.

 

[firehawk12]

Yep, it's what I thought when I heard the delay. Those two shows make more sense together than putting it with True Blood or Game of Thrones.

 

[gdt]

I really gotta get back to this show. It kinda ended up boring me to tears.

 

[Lafiel]

Really excited about S3. S1 & S2 were some of the best character-driven drama television I've watched since Friday Night Lights.

 

[dead souls]

Indeed. It's easily the best drama HBO has currently, though it doesn't have much competition. Luck (RIP) probably could've given it a run for its money, but nothing else they have can.

 

[Cornballer]

S3 start date is confirmed:

HBO announces return of BOARDWALK EMPIRE Sept. 16 and (been too long!) TREME, Sept. 23.

 

[dominuece]

The season 2 finale brought me to tears. This and Boardwalk together will be fantastic.

Why get back to it if it bores you? It sounds like it's not your thing.

 

[Dachande]

Excellent. Can't wait. I had no idea how they would follow up S1 or what kind of direction they would go in with S2, but it blew me away. Expecting great things from 3.

 

[dead souls]

The season 2 finale brought me to tears. This and Boardwalk together will be fantastic.

Well at least one hour of it will be. Boardwalk is mediocre at best. Maybe it will be easier to tolerate this year since I know that Treme will start once it ends.

Can't wait.

It's been so long.

Can't wait.

That's true, he's nearly never interacted with a main character he wasn't related to.

Screeners are out to critics:

HBO just sent all eps of Treme S3 (9/23) out to critics. Last time they did this w/David Simon show was at start of The Wire s4, which was also on the verge of ending a season before Simon was ready to end the story. That worked out well for all; will history repeat?

 

[Cornballer]

Matt Zoller Seitz takes a look at the screeners:

Watching S3 of Treme, first two eps. So far, fantastic. Not a single misjudged step. This show is a marvel.

 

[Spotless Mind]

Just air already!!! Argh.

 

[Brinbe]

Cannot f'n wait. Its been so long since the end of S2. =(

Matt Zoller Seitz takes a look at the screeners:

Screeners are out to critics:

God, the whole season? A month in advance? Lucky bastards.

I almost wish that TV was blown up and every show was moved to some form of VOD. Then there's no problem with scheduling and crazy people can watch all the episodes in one sitting instead of one week after one painfully long week.

Then again, with the low ratings, the only reason Treme survives is because of subscription fees.

- Nola.com: HBO's 'Treme' releases season-three poster, which asks: 'ls That All You Got?'

The theme of “Treme’s” season-two poster, released preseason and later used as the cover shot for the DVD and Blu-ray box, was “Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams.” The message wasn’t paid off until Davis McAlary played Louis Armstrong’s version of the tune to accompany the season-concluding montage. Viewers won’t have to wait to make such a connection this season.

The new poster's text leads up to the title of a tune that will be first heard in the Sept. 23 season-three premiere. Written by Steve Earle and performed by Annie Tee (Lucia Micarelli) backed by the Red Stick Ramblers, the song is “That All You Got?”

The text from the poster:

“Hurricanes. Floods. Exile. Crime. Corruption. Betrayal. Greed. Neglect. Is That All You Got?”

Portraits of the HBO drama’s main cast members, including newcomer Chris Coy, who plays a reporter, appear below the text.
