Airdrop

Dang, I'm two episodes behind on Treme, and I've got to wrangle my way back up to speed somehow. Just trying to keep pace week-to-week is complicated enough, what with getting over to the house of some HBO-enabled pal every Sunday at 9 p.m., which is a truly pain-in-the-butt time slot for the working-parents-of-young-kids amongst us. Cramming in back-episodes is even more of a head-scratcher.

It's an ode to our city, its culture, and its people, yes? And most of those people making all of that culture that's being dished up for the nation's viewing pleasure can't actually afford premium cable, right? There's only one legitimate solution:

HBO needs to airdrop DVDs of the show into the city every Sunday evening.

We can all step out in the street, reach up and snag a copy wafting down on the humid breeze, and watch it on our humble non-premium viewing consoles any time we choose—e.g. Monday, while doing our laundry and cooking our big pots of red beans and rice. Yeah, y'right.
