Oh, HBO, you've gone and done it again. Three scant weeks after they caused The Dirtywhirl's last TV Boner Alert with the announcement that Dustin Hoffman had signed on to star in the new David Milch project, Luck, they went and released the trailers for The Wire creator David Simon's upcoming Treme and the Martin Scorcese-produced Boardwalk Empire. It goes without saying that these two shows, along with WWII miniseries The Pacific and the aforementioned Luck, are restoring HBO's reputation as the premium prestige project network on television. After the demise of such TV classics as The Wire, The Sopranos, and Deadwood, we've suffered through too many years where Entourage, Big Love, and True Blood were the face of HBO. It's about damn time for a renaissance. Check out the Treme and Boardwalk Empire trailers below.
