That is number one on the hold list at the library for the third season of Treme, the dynamic Dick Simon and Eric Overmyer-produced, fictionalized account of post-Katrina New Orleans from HBO.
Any day now, any day now, I shall be released...from my electronic media funk.
The five-episode fourth season, which wrapped up the serial late last month, awaits. But the library won't have that for months.
I guess it is always a matter of personal taste, but I consider Treme, and Simon's The Wire before it, to be some of the greatest television ever produced. Not that I've seen it all, because I haven't.
Nevertheless...
Right up there with anything Paddy Chayefsky ever put out back in the day, and that is saying something for a hard-to-please joker and huge Chayefsky disciple like me.
