Trivia

Elizabeth Ashley, who plays Davis's Aunt Mimi, was a close friend of the playwright Tennessee Williams (who was closely associated with New Orleans during his adult life, and who set many of his plays there). She is also known as one of the preeminent stage interpreters of his female characters; starting with her performance as Maggie in a 1974 Broadway revival of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," Ashley has played nearly all of Williams's main female roles.

Goofs

The computer John Goodman's character uses is running Windows Vista and Office 2007 (you can tell from the user interface), yet that software wasn't released when the series took place (in 2005).

User Reviews

Treme Opinion

The Wire was a great show. Rather than imitating the backdrop that made The Wire tick....homicide, drugs, corruption, David Simon has created a program with the same reality, different circumstances. I have enjoyed both episodes and am already a fan. Treme showcases the people of New Orleans. Not as victims but simply as a community that has taken a very hard hit and are attempting to move forward. As a side story, it also focuses on the musicians that provide the soundtrack for the city and their own ways of balancing life with art and trying to give the impression that, on the outside, they care as much about family as they do about feeding their primary goal, playing. There is a lot going on but there are a lot of characters, back stories and lives interconnecting. Eric and David are doing a very good job at the set up, providing glimpses at personal lives to act as puzzle pieces for the whole picture.
