- Thread starter Cat piss martini
- Start date
Instead they green lighted Tremé? 
Amare's Right Hook
Southeast World Champion
Treme sucks dikk
Ethnic Vagina Finder
The Great Paper Chaser
Had potential though.
I'm still trying to figure out how Jill Scotts show only got ONE season and Treme got 4.
@ the Treme hateThis would have been dope though.

JUST DO IT LIKE
The Wire got more notoriety after it ended, I know a lot of people who just recently started watching it and got hooked
A spinoff would do better numbers (even though a series based solely on Carcetti sounds kinda wack), I mean shyt who is really watching Treme not even Wire fans like that shyt

Treme had promise (still not as bad as john in cincinnati) but it's run its course. Im ready to see another crime series set in modern day though, or take a chance on sci-fi, Hell even a wall street type series on some gordon gecko type shyt. I hate that they pulled the plug on how to make it in america though.
Stinky Diver
attitude as bad as his odor
A series about Carcetti?! 
Norman was that dude though

A spinoff on the political shyt woulda been wack...a spinoff focused on the schools/kids woulda been piff. And yeah...I'm bout to give up on Treme...shyts boring as hell man...3 seasons in and nothing exciting has happened.

There's no way Treme is getting better ratings than The Wire.
I can understand passing on a Wire spin-off in the name of ratings, but a political drama would've done way better than Treme. In fact, with a white protagonist and a great writer like Simon, I'd say it would've done better than The Wire, ratings-wise. Doing it while The Wire was still on the air would have been risky, but it may've even boosted The Wire's ratings.

I love both Jill's show and Treme, so it's all gravy to me.
I get why people here don't like Treme though. It's a character-driven show and nobody's getting shot or killed.

I tried to get into Treme, saw the 1st couple of episodes. Sh!t was boring, never watched it again.
