If it had only happened 30 years ago, we might still have most of our soaps on the air. Everyone knew that black women made up a huge part of the soap audience and they didn't act on it. Y&R is the worst of the bunch, imo.  Bill Bell set them up for success, but it was wasted.

For those reasons, in the back of my mind, I guess there is some lingering concern about having too many of the same people who presided over the deterioration of daytime soaps presiding over the production side of BTG. I know they need a certain number of experienced hands if they want to hit the ground running but a few of the names don’t really inspire a whole lot of confidence but I am keeping my mouth shut and my mind open on this, with hopes for the best.

I'm not pressed about Bob Guza personally. I have plenty of past beef with him but when it comes to events and eyeballs that man knows his business. And in the end, this is MVJ's show and the entire daily writing staff is Black.

Speaking of, though: If we can avoid spamming the thread of a Black-centric soap opera with photos of predominantly the white male actors, that's probably a good rule of thumb/taste.

Lol. You're probably not going to feel like you're watching either of these. I discovered a couple of other message boards and one Youtube video already sizing it up as The Haves and The Have Nots. I suppose it'll be interesting to see if they end up being right.
