New Trailer for ‘Treme’ Season 3 Arrives

by Joe Gillis, Aug 6 2012 // 3:15 PM

HBO’s Treme’ is set to debut its third season next month and to help you get ready for said season, or to introduce you to a great show, we’ve got a new trailer for season three to share with you today.

Here’s what to expect during the upcoming season:

New Orleans, 25 months later. Crime and corruption are up, culture is being trampled, and the people who matter – the workers, families and dreamers who still live here – have had enough. HBO’s drama series Treme revisits the musicians, chefs, Mardi Gras Indians, and other familiar New Orleans characters who continue to rebuild their lives, their homes and their culture in the aftermath of the 2005 hurricane that caused the near-death of an American city. In Season 3, which takes place from Fall 2007-Spring 2008, rampant crime and government ineptitude continue to cripple the city’s recovery, with outside profiteers looking to cash in on short-term gains.

Get Your First Look at Season 3 of HBO’s ‘Treme’

by Chris Ullrich, Jul 15 2012 // 1:00 PM

It’s no secret HBO has some great programs now and in the past. However, the bigger ones like Game of Thrones or The Newsroom often seem to get more attention than some other more hidden gems.

One such hidden gem is Treme, HBO’s look at post-Katrina life in New Orleans. Featuring a stellar cast and exceptional writing and direction, the show has really resonated with fans of great storytelling. Plus, it’s made by the same guys who made The Wire, so what more do you need to know?

The show is is set to debut its third season soon. To help get you ready for said season, or to introduce you to a great show, we’ve got the first trailer for season three to share with you today.

In it you’ll get a taste of the sights and sounds of this show and hopefully, if you’re not already a fan, a new show you need to take a look at. Check out the season 3 trailer after the break. Treme returns to HBO on September 23.

HBO Sets Premiere Dates for ‘Boardwalk Empire’ and ‘Treme’

by Heather Toshiko, Jul 9 2012 // 2:00 PM

Even though Aaron Sorkin’s The Newsroom seems, at least after the first three episodes, to be not quite what we hoped for, HBO is still a great network to find high quality programming. Case in point is two of their returning shows: Boardwalk Empire and Treme.

Fans of those two shows can be happy today as the network has announced return dates for both of them. The third season of Boardwalk Empire will kick off Sunday, September 16 at 9 PM and will have a 12 episode run.

Treme is set to debut on Sunday, September 23 at 10 PM. It will run for 10 episodes.

Looking forward to both these shows. Now if we could just get some more Game of Thrones soon.

John Goodman in Talks to Reunite with Roseanne Barr for NBC Pilot

by Sebastian Suchecki, Feb 14 2012 // 8:45 AM

Fifteen years after the end of their hit sitcom Roseanne, NBC will be the staging a reunion of sorts. John Goodman is currently in talks to reunite with TV wife Roseanne Barr for the NBC comedy pilot Downwardly Mobile.

The NBC comedy pilot will star Barr as an outspoken proprietor and den mother to an array of characters at a mobile home park. Goodman is allegedly close to finalizing a deal to co-star in Barr’s pilot, according to Variety.

Goodman, who played Roseanne’s loyal husband Dan Conner for nine seasons on the ABC comedy from 1988-1997, will play one of the guys who work at the park. Goodman recently stated that he wouldn’t mind being on a series again. “You get tired living out of a suitcase,” said Goodman.

HBO Go Hits iOS and Android Devices

by Chris Ullrich, Apr 29 2011 // 2:30 PM

I guess its’s a good thing I decided not to cancel HBO. If you’re considering ditching your premium subsctiption to the HBO service, you might want to re-think it too. Why? Read on.

The long-anticipated HBO Go app just hit the iOS App Store and Android Market, bringing original HBO series and a variety of blockbuster films to your mobile device. You’ll need an HBO subscription with your cable or satellite provider to get past the login screen, but unlocking all that the service has to offer is a pretty easy experience.

Although, it doesn’t seem Time Warner Cable is participating so if you’ve got that cable service, you’re out of luck — at least for now.

However, as I’m both a Time Warner and DirecTV subsciber (don’t ask) I was able to authenticae using my DirecTV sibsctiption and was off and running. This app features a pretty amazing collection of programming including pretty much every episode of every show HBO has ever aired plus many of their movies as well. Plus, you can also watch these programs via your computer as well. But you’ve got that fancy iPad or iPhone so why not watch it on those instead, right?

So, if you’re an HBO subscriber, head on over to your iOS or Android stores and check this app out. It’s pretty cool.

Of course, your hosts also made some picks this week including Matt’s pick of the movie Matinee and Chris’ pick of the returning HBO series Treme.

HBO Renews ‘Game of Thrones’ After Airing One Episode

by Chris Ullrich, Apr 19 2011 // 10:30 AM

It must be nice not to have to worry so much about ratings and instead focus primarily on quality. Oh, to have those kinds of problems like premiere cable netwrok HBO. What have they done this time?

Much like they did previously with shows such as Boardwalk Empire and Treme, HBO has given the greenlight for another season to its new drama Game of Thrones after only airing the premiere episode — even though its rating didin’t set any records. The ratings were solid, coming in between other premieres such as True Blood and Boardwalk Empire, but it’s the show itself that earned another season.

“We are delighted by the way David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have brought George R.R. Martin’s amazing book series to the screen, and thrilled by the support of the media and our viewers,” HBO’s head of programming Michael Lombardo said.

For its debut at 9 PM on Sunday, the show drew 2.2 million viewers, down 54% from the September premiere of Boardwalk Empire but up 57% from the 1.4 million who tuned in for the debut of True Blood 3 years ago. Overall, the premiere of Game of Thrones averaged 4.2 million viewers on Sunday for its 3 airings vs. 7.1 million for Boardwalk Empire in September.

So far HBO seems to be doing very well with most of its original programming, especially lately. With True Blood and Treme returning soon and the solid performance of Game of Thrones it looks like DVRs across the country are going to remain full of HBO programming for the foreseeable future. As fans of the new Game of Thrones as well as Treme, Boardwalk Empire, True Blood, Bored to Death and most of the other current HBO series, we’re going to be there too.

Game of Thrones stars Mark Addy, Sean Bean, Emilia Clarke, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Peter Dinklage and Lena Headey. It airs Sundays at 9/8C on HBO.

‘Treme’ Returns to HBO This Weekend and We’ve Got A Preview

by Chris Ullrich, Apr 18 2011 // 10:00 AM

If you haven’t been watching HBO’s series Treme, you’re really missing something. The show is very well done, features an outstanding cast and comes from the creative team behind one of the greatest shows ever to grace our television screens: The Wire.

Treme deals with the city of New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. As season two begins it’s more than a year since Katrina and its aftermath. The national spotlight on the Crescent City has dimmed, and residents are finding it harder than ever to rebuild their lives.

Some have become expatriates in distant cities. The insurance checks that never arrived for homeowners were followed by the bureaucratic nightmare that was the Road Home program, and a land-grab is underway as developers and disaster capitalists press their advantage. Crime and drug use are up, and corruption and graft are endemic, with civic institutions unable to counter any of it.

And yet the culture of New Orleans somehow endures. To help you get ready for the new season of the show we’ve got a preview video for it as well as a recap video of what happened last season.

Check out both videos after the jump. Treme returns to HBO for season two on Sunday, April 24th at 10/9C.

The Flickcast – Episode 51: The Spy Hunter Who Loved Me

by Joe Gillis, Apr 14 2010 // 11:00 AM

This week on The Flickcast, Chris and Matt are again joined by video game guru John Carle to discuss all manner of new and interesting topics. Some of these include Jason West and Vince Zampella joining EA Games, Conan heading to TBS, the oddness of Viva Pinata, the usefulness of the website Game Crush, the fun to be had at the website Girl Gamer, the awesomeness of Michael Ironside, instant Netflix on the Wii, Ryan Reynolds in Paper Man and the future of digital comics on the iPad and other devices.

Plus, the guys made some picks this week, as usual, including John’s pick of Kick-Ass, Matt’s pick of the movie Defendor and Chris’ pick of the new HBO series Treme.

Also, they announced the first winner of The Flickcast Mailbag contest and a new prize for this week’s question: a copy of Defendor on DVD. Remember, to win just send a question on pretty much any topic to mailbag [at] the flickcast dot com and if we answer your question on the show next week, you win. What could be easier than that?

HBO Renews ‘Treme’ For Second Season After Airing Premiere

by Chris Ullrich, Apr 14 2010 // 7:00 AM

I was hooked on this show about New Orleans life three months after Hurricane Katrina as soon as I had watched the first five minutes and apparently, HBO feels even stronger about it that I do. Why do I say that? Because the cable network has already given a second season order to Treme after only airing the first episode.

According to reports, Treme, created by The Wire‘s David Simon and Eric Overmyer, is already tracking higher than Simon’s previous effort and has drawn 1.1 million viewers for its first airing. However, as HBO is a cable network and doesn’t really care that much about ratings, they have obviously given the show another season for a different reason.

“This is too good of a show and too important of a show not to invest in a second season,” HBO’s president of programming Michael Lombardo said. I could not agree more.

Production on the second season of the show, starring Wendell Pierce, Steve Zahn, Clarke Peters, John Goodman, Kim Dickens and Khandi Alexander, will start in the fall in New Orleans. Now if I can just get them to bring back Rome and Deadwood.
