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 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.

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).

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.

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+.

    • Daytime belonged to CBS. They would have been making a lot of $$$ with that lineup. For context, this is the lineup at that time. Only one soap on ABC (GH) and NBC (TD) which was still an anthology at that point. So it wasn't until the opposition added more soaps that they became competitive. NBC CBS ABC 10:00am Say When!

    • Per recent Twitch live: Wraps filming his new film on Friday. Begins a new film on May 19. Will resume regular Twitch streams soon. Has a lot of projects coming out later this year. His current project has kept him in Tennessee longer than he was meant to be.
    • Has BTG been using flashbacks much? Of course, as a new show there aren't many f/b worthy moments but I think they can get by w/o having to use/recreate the Leslie reveal scene. What other 'soap' tropes have they employed or ignored so far? We've talked about the lack of traditional cliffhangers with lingering camera shots. They have done a couple of fantasy scenes. Has anyone apart from Dana had talk to themselves scenes? Montages?
    • Thank You!!! @rsclassicfanforever and to anyone else who contributed to the vaults over the years. I have dipped in/out and gotten my life watching Y&R early years. I never would had the appreciation for characters like Lorie Brooks if not for the Vaults, so again, Thanks.
    • Another lot of skipped episodes to look forward to when the time comes on Videoland. So annoying. They have skipped so many, especially in  season 15 where they skipped 19 episodes throughout the season. Is it just me or is the vault down? It's like a different error message this time so it's hard to know if it's me this time.
    • thank you for uploading the rest of season 12!!! I hope i can get them soon the links down! Thank you again for posting the B&B classic episodes to revisit!!!!
    • Hmm, okay.  BTW, my only problem with Kai & the surgery story is where is this guy's family? And, another BTW, I think I may have inadvertently added to that rumor from last year about a male descendant of Justus Ward. You see, that is an idea I could really get behind! Like I would pay to see those scenes. And, true, I did hear it ... [sheepish grin]

      Yes they can. While rare, its not like soaps in the past havent said F that and used flashbacks of a scene even when a recast has been done. OLTL used to do that
    • Well, I am glad to know that & for it to make sense, so thanks for the info &  the perspective, also. At the end of AMC 1.0, I thought the new young talent was really quite good, but I missed Eden & NuBianca just ... well, I wasn't 100% sold on her & Bianca was so important to me. But then, Tad & Dixie were also important & yep, there's another problem, for me I mean. I'm not your typical AMC fan but I hung in there anyway. I know what you mean because it wasn't as good as it once had been but it was still Agnes's show in Pine Valley. Some of that is a bittersweet nostalgic clinging to the past, I guess. By that time I'd been through so many show cancellations. AW, Santa Barbara, PC, The City, GL, ATWT.
