Members AMCHistory Posted March 23, 2023 Members Share Posted March 23, 2023 This can’t be real right? The actor shots are fine. The graphics and typography look like an elementary school project. Did Josh’s grandson put this together. This would be an embarrassment to put on air. The current opening is great. All it needed was updated cast photos. I really hope this is a joke.

Members DaytimeFan Posted March 23, 2023 Members Share Posted March 23, 2023 That is incredibly cheap and tacky looking. That generic awful skyline. And that font. What on earth were they thinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted March 23, 2023 Members Share Posted March 23, 2023 (edited) Not sure how I feel about it yet, but I feel... MTS looked GOOD. JM looked FOINE. I needed JW to toss her hair. ETA: I liked EB doing that little wink. Edited March 23, 2023 by Taoboi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted March 23, 2023 Members Share Posted March 23, 2023 This looks cheap and dated. They should’ve kept it simple and do what B&B did and just go back to the old school opening. White background, keep the actors names and keep it simple. I don’t understand how this even got approved. I also feel like the graphics don’t match the music and it feels slow. How does CBS micro manage the show but allow this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted March 23, 2023 Members Share Posted March 23, 2023 The current opening was pretty cheap also. The font was basic and some shots (esp MTS) were very unflattering. The women got diamonds and champagne in the background but the guys got nothing. And the background shots were basically the same as foreground(outfits and poses) I agree the EB wink is good.

Members Vee Posted March 23, 2023 Members Share Posted March 23, 2023 It's cheap and AFAIK they don't care about the product beyond that and non-controversial stories that keep the lights on and it making them some coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheilaforever Posted March 23, 2023 Members Share Posted March 23, 2023 +1 I looks extremely dated and fanmade. Like when YouTube first became "a thing" - if someone got paid more than a dollar for this, he/she who authorised this project should be fired ASAP.

Members dragonflies Posted March 23, 2023 Members Share Posted March 23, 2023 The silhouette at the beginning is definitely not MTS and EB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members janea4old Posted March 23, 2023 Members Share Posted March 23, 2023 (edited) I was just *assuming* it was them. (and I should not assume!) You could be right, it could be anyone. Maybe it's supposed to be *suggestive* of them? The woman in the silhouette seems to be wearing something similar to Nikki's gala gown.

Members dragonflies Posted March 23, 2023 Members Share Posted March 23, 2023 I watched it during today's show on my tv and it's someone built like MS and JM or MG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AMCHistory Posted March 23, 2023 Members Share Posted March 23, 2023 OMG - this was worst in full size HD! Watching it on my TV was painful. The cast shots are GREAT. Everyone featured in today's opening looked beautiful. But, everything about the opening around the cast in just WRONG! Where are the pen strokes animating the Y&R logo? Why the spotlights? It makes sense for the gala step and repeat scenes, but it has nothing to do with Y&R beyond these gala episodes. Oh I hope this is mistake...

Members David_Vickers Posted March 23, 2023 Members Share Posted March 23, 2023 Agreed. Much improved. Waaayyyy past time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Noel Posted March 23, 2023 Members Share Posted March 23, 2023 (edited) It's cute. I would change the font used for the names of the performers and get rid of the "ground spotlight effect" and give it more of a silky flowing shimmer. Might get rid of the background building visuals. Maybe. I love toying around that stuff. Edited March 23, 2023 by Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
