Jean-Luc, I don't believe HBO are cancelling the show. Actually, I seem to recall reading somewhere that David Simon originally envisaged the programme to have four seasons (i.e. three years after Katrina).
Cheers,
James

Just an amazing episode. Favorite scenes: Annie and her band tracking "This City"; and that beautiful, quiet moment when Toni shows up at Terry's FEMA trailer with a Pilsner Urquell peace offering. Great music, great writing, great acting!

One of my favourite shows of all time!
The look that Jacques gave Janette after she shouted at her kitchen staff was priceless, while Ladona's visit to see Albert brought a tear to my eye.
Just perfect.

Great ending for a great season! Loved the bar mitzvah boy sitting in with Kermit's band. "New Orleans, baby!"

Yeah, he nailed it!
The season-ending montage was fantastic - up there with the fourth season of 'The Wire'.
Perfect TV. I'm looking forward to watching it all over again once the DVD is released.
It's a shame that the finale season will only be five episodes, and then we must bid farewell to these characters that we've grown to love.

A bit off-topic maybe, but a hidden way to bump  I just listened to an album by Winton Marsalis and Eric Clapton called: Play The Blues Live From Jazz At Lincoln Center. I really recommend it if you are in need of a little "Treme" injection

I am missing the show quite a bit... Same here, that's why I enjoy so much when the music bring me back to it. I also very much recommend an album by Allen Toussaint called "The Bright Mississipi", you just can't listen to it without having pictures of "Treme" flashing back in your mind Lol, I guess we are now addicted and we need our "musical metadone" to hold on until next year (or until we put a blue-ray in the player)

James,
thanks a lot for bringing this subject on this forum. Honestly speaking Treme was a starter for me to listen more to Jazz or Jazz-like music -- as to me, Jazz looks like an ocean of music of various kinds. Thanks! :-)

Thanks for the heads-up! Wendell Pierce was on Bill Maher last week, so I had a feeling Treme was coming back - can't wait! I purchased the first and second season box sets a few months ago - need to pick-up the third soon! Such a great show! Cheers, James x
