Beyond the Gates: Premiere Date, Time Slot Set by CBS

Well, it can't be my dream storyline - an interracial, same-sex marriage - because that's on the show already (...right?).

There is one thing I *think* Errol's announcement will be but I'm not going to say it and jinx myself. Whatever it is, I'm happy to hear there's more good news coming!

Beyond the Gates has to at least outperform reruns of The Price is Right, otherwise it will be a cause for concern.

When a network can air reruns of a show that gets the same or better ratings than an original show that costs you 30-50 million a year to produce, they have a problem. That's why The Talk got canned. It wasn't pulling in enough eyeballs and it had no repeat or additional financial value for CBS/Paramount.

No one was watching clips on the show's YouTube channel, and they sure as hell weren't watching the show on either CBS.com/CBS App or Paramount+. Unlike The View, there was NOTHING worth rewatching from The Talk. Their topics were terrible and uninteresting and didn't generate any buzz, much less go viral. Again, The View with its political slant had people wanting to know what they had to say about just about anything, whether it be Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Donald Trump, Taylor Swift, the Super Bowl, Kendrick Lamar and many others. At the end of the day, whether you like the hosts or not, The View gets people talking, both good and bad.

The Talk had nothing to talk about. At least nothing memorable.
