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

LOL I fully agree with you. From what I see, these criticisms are based on nothing. Not a thing.

But likewise, there's nothing about that promo that is "amazing." It's interesting, it looks good, and it does what it's intended to do -- promote the soap. But amazing? It's not.

Have to agree. In that shot, the mix of outfits doesn't work for me.

I don't think that's true. Y&R has improved immensely since Ed Scott returned, and it's back to being the best-looking soap.

Yep.

[Jonathan]

Me likey.

[Contessa Donatella]

Totally! All those stripped shows were so awful.

I, for one, am very pleased that they have made a start on promotion, already!

Thank you! Why aren't people allowed to have an opinion around here without being dragged? It can't be that serious.

I continue to think the promo is superb. It does what it should do. It grabs you attention. Gives you memorable shots and dramatic moments that will make people want to check out what it is. The only thing I am not completely in love with is the intro style... but I will have to see it in full to say what I think.

Not enough to go on really but looks promising. Looks like we might get actual love in the afternoon with this. I hope they tone down TT’s hair a touch.

[Sapounopera]

I am glad that you agree with me. People should feel free to express their opinions.

Those promo shots are giving the CBS Daytime '90s promos to me lol. Everyone was always walking out from some curtains while someone else stared at the camera like a psycho while Lawrence said some nonsense. It's a compliment! Nice throwback.

I am sure most of the location work is meant for the early weeks to set up the show, but if it continued I wouldn't complain (AMC 2.0 threaded it throughout their brief run in Stamford CT, but they were also wildly overbudget and didn't pay almost anyone).

[Sapounopera]

I think that GH looks better. Not perfect, but better. And the Y&R stories are boring. Nothing happens and the show is afraid to invest in something/someone new. 

[Chris B]

Ed Scott has definitely improved the lighting and the directing has improved to give the sets more dimension/make them look larger, but nobody is doing it like GH these days. Not just the size of the sets, but the amount of them is really impressive in this day and age. 

[Soapsuds]

Ha! You're joking right?

No. I do not think you understand me. You say that people should tolerate negative opinions.  Now, please apply your advice and accept my different opinion on something I read here in the board. I do not need people to act like school teachers and tell me when I should speak or not. If you do not like our reactions to different comments, you are free to put me or anyone else on ignore. 

Repeating that we should let others have different, negative opinions... also proves that there is nothing wrong to react to them.

I mean, we are human beings after all. It will be so boring, if we all just stood silent and sweetly tolerant when we read something we did not agree with. I react. Because I want to. Have not broken any rule.

Then people come with passive aggressive remarks how we should all tolerate this and that. YEAH. TOLERATE me too. Bye.

I’m just glad we’re finally starting the promotional campaign. Do we have a sense of where and when that promo will run? Today had a lot of preemptions and break-ins for the school shooting so I didn’t see it airing during CBS programming unless I missed it. I’m sure it’ll run before Y&R and B&B episodes on Paramount+.
