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

[Khan]

In my wildest dreams: the same-sex couple in bed, debating who's gonna get up that morning and fix breakfast for the kids.

I have such high expectations for BTG and I don't think I'm going to be disappointed. I trust MVJ. I have followed her career since Generations and I believe in the team assembled to bring us the best show possible.

I, too, would love the opening scene to be with "Martin & Smitty". Both actors are extremely handsome and charismatic.

Hopefully, we will get the premiere date soon, with some promo teasers.

CBS unveils its mid-season lineup this week, so that should hopefully hold a premiere timeline. As for promo teasers, I still think it's too soon since they only have one week taped.

It is a shame that the Winter Television Critics Association meeting was cancelled, because a panel would've provided some great insights.

Speaking of the gays, I'd like to officially make this post now so I can quote it on the day: Do not spam BTG weekly threads with just screencaps of The White Guy shirtless. Thanks!

[Taoboi]

Hehe. That's cute.

 

[Liberty City]

Speaking to the choir: ANY shirtless guys, honestly. But we both know that'll never happen.

So cute! The name plaques are so amazing.

Lol. Wonderful, and we shall see. I wonder how far they are going to allow this couple to go. I do like that they will already be established. No coming out of the closet story for either of them. Also, whenever we get to the point of one of them cheating on the other, and we will because it's a soap, don't have them do it with a woman, and then she gets pregnant on top of that. I always hated how shows would throw supposedly gay characters into that mix.

[Taoboi]

True that. lol.

 

That said...thank you for this. My mind has been idling back to that part of the industry as of late so it's nice to hear a fresh perspective.

 

 

You would be correct. JS.

 

But on to other cute things...how can I not think that was soooo cute. I was also just thinking of black sitcoms the other day as well. But let me not derail the thread.  

Honestly, I would love that.

I wonder if they'll film any teasers specifically for promos. Similar to what Passions did. I'd like a combination of both, but of course will take what I can get.

[Liberty City]

I have a feeling, if anything, they'll use the ribbon cutting and table read footage as a teaser, with the title card provided to us, via Paramount Global.

These comments from people more or less "demanding" in some way or another that people don't post about the white characters make me uncomfortable.
First of all, there are like two or three actors on the show. And things like "don't start posting photos of the White Guy" sound really racist to me.
I don't see the reason to bring this type of toxic and hateful energy in a thread where everyone is so happy about the new soap.  

[Vee]

There's nothing wrong with talking about a white character. But openly hyperfocusing on the one main white guy in the cast on a Black-centric show would be what is inappropriate, racist and uncomfortable. Happy to help!

I have been following this thread since day one and you keep saying the same thing every few pages. And I haven't seen anyone do that.

Some of us have the instant a certain someone got hired. And it's been commented on more than once, not just by me. If you don't see it feel free to keep it moving.
