Huh? I never said it was that serious. The truth is, nothing is "that serious."

You posted the CPW open and I said there is no similarity to the open for BTG. That's it. That's my opinion. If you think they're similar, good on you.

Thank you. I love opinions. They don't seem to matter much around here.

She better - you don’t hire Tamara Tunie to just give out sage advice. Of all the soap matriarchs, I’ve always felt Anita would be most similar to Stephanie. 

Right off the bat I said she'd better out-matriarch Stephanie Forrester. This was on a BTG IG. 

Seriously, y'all, it can't be more terrible than this:

I didn't dislike the Generations theme or opening, but the self-importance of all the historical pictures was a bit much lol.

I admit I like that music in the Generations open, but I think it really misses the mark in not highlighting the cast.

It just feels vaguely anthropological, like why are we seeing white kids at a diner and then all these civil rights landmark moments only to cut to a show about Kelly Rutherford trying to cheat her way to a college diploma with some sub-Saved by the Bell muzak cues, or Barbara Rhoades woodenly delivering every line about her doomed soap career? The opening infuses the show with a sense of historic importance (which the show did have at that time by nature of its makeup) whereas the content and quality of the stories, uh, not so much, at least at first. (The stuff from later on in the show's run is much better.)

I've said this before in the GENERATIONS thread, but what that show needed was something more contemporary (none of that ragtime [!@#$%^&*]!), with glammed-up shots of cast members in and around the city (yes, like on B&B, lol).

That's what I love about the BTG opening: no one's giving a history lesson on Negroes in the Americas.  It's just black (and non-black) people posing and looking fabulous.  The way it should be.

Thank you

I like the first few and the last few seconds of the intro. A part of me wishes that the first few seconds was the intro lol.

Never cared for actor names in soap openings. Reminds me of primetime soaps and I see daytime shows as a different experience.

At least the font was classy. The people from Y&R should check it out.

I liked the idea of the faces behind the gates.

Everyone looked amazing. 

Some of the ladies images remind me of reality show intros. Something like Real Housewives. 

I expected something more interesting. 

Didn't hate it, but I wanted something else.

I'll wait and see how the opening looks on my HD TV as opposed to a laptop or phone screen before I judge lol
