New show: 'K-Ville' shows nothing's easy in the Big Easy

Perhaps I am the dumbest person to read this, but why K Ville? Is that a reference to Katrina? Is this what the residents call New Orleans now? Thank you.

Yes, "K-Ville" is supposed to mean "Katrina-Ville," and is supposedly a reference to some graffiti seen in New Orleans after the storm.

Lucy - According to the Times Picayune article cited in the story above, it's because the producer saw "k-ville" written on a wall in graffiti somewhere in the city. I'm a local and I was as perplexed by the name as you. I hope it doesn't catch on.

Residents of New Orleans do not call the city K-ville. We do tend to believe the K stands for Katrina though.

I hope the shows turns out well and stays on the air, two things which don't always seem to go together. I love and miss New Orleans the way it was.

I agree with the other locals, I have never heard K-Ville here in New Orleans...

Parts of it were shot in New Orleans in the Mid-City area. Check out the blog of a guy whose house is being used - http://michaelhoman.blogspot.com/2007/03/faking-katrina-destruction-courtesy-of.html

K-ville will bring out a gumbo of emotions! My life has been a big jambalaya since Katrina. Watch the show with your favorite hot-saucy woman!

Fox once again distorts reality. How in the world can any thinking human being who watched as cowardly New Orleans police officers deserted their posts en masse; watched state officials dither in abject paralysis while utterly corrupt and incompetent federal officials abandoned the stranded people of New Orleans to a savage fate, could possibly watch this wretched excuse for drama/entertainment and not kick their TV out a window.

First, the writers would have us believe that the main hero character is a New Orleans black man when most of the cops who deserted were black and the majority of people abandoned, murdered, and otherwise allowed to be abused, by the cops, state and feds, were black citizens.

Is this some sort of attempt at "atonement" by Fox for being such miserable a--holes, liars, and general con-men?

If so, Fox has failed again. I would call upon all of my fellow citizens to boycott this incredibly vile piece of trash.

I was expecting this to be really cheesy - and it kinda is (no more than any other cop drama) but I couldn't turn it off.

I like it. And want more.

They kept it real to the city's plight and circumstances while examining what many locals think and feel without getting too cheesy or overly sentimental. I must commend the cast and crew - I try to keep my TV watching to a minimal so as not to overbook my time and they gave me no reason to turn off the TV during the pilot and have me wanting to come back. Not an easy thing to do for a cop drama (which I don't normally watch) set in my home state (I'm originally from central Louisiana). Keep it up!

I watched the first show and frankly don't know if I'll watch any more. THose of us who were there before the storm and then tried to rebuild and was unable to due to FEMA (Ha Ha) and insurance not paying the correct amounts I had to leave Louisiana. I found the show almost too real for a drama series. The fact that the city will NEVER be the same again is sad. I don't understand why the people are allowing the officials to continue to run their lives. The people of New Orleans need to wake up and get the money they were given by the people of america. The people of America and other foriegn countries gave money to the Katrina victims and still none of the victims have been given any help, thereby we still see FEMA trailers two years after the fact.

Please, use more line dancing music.
Also, use some top Zydeco performers. They will perform for free to help the city's revitalization.
Show close up of crawfish pie, Gumbos and other Creole dishes. These things will put us on location with the actors...Thanks

Hello Folks from New Orleans (aka K-Ville :)
I've NEVER heard of the city referred to as K-Ville or Katrinaville by locals and I've been here two years so far, intending on staying for awhile because of the music scene. I'm a musician. I think I may have seen the graffitti the producer saw though somewhere in the Ninth Ward where I live, along with alot of other strange comments written on walls. Recently, someone painted "Hindsight" on the water side of the East wall of the Industrial Canal levee. Someone sandblasted that off a few days later before I could get a photo! Does anyone in this group know WHERE in the city that graffitti was ... was it the 9th ward, or elsewhere. Just curious ...

I Love K Ville and hope Fox will keep it in the line up of shows for years to come. The actors are doing a good job and New Orleans need all the GOOD publicity it can get.
