Thank you. Can't wait.

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

 

I loved the theme music from Generations too.

We’re still waiting for the panel to come out, but here’s the stage, lol 

Are you sitting sideways or upside down?😂

So BTG is taping 3 months ahead.

Take note Days!😂

This panel is amazing.

The girl group was called The Articulettes and is based on one Michele used to sing in!!!!

The opening shown at the screening for the first episode  is longer and features more cast members. 

Sheila says something big will happen at the end of April.

Wonder if that's for the previews/premiere online, because Soaps She Knows reported there will be several cuts of the opening.

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

 

Cheers, the daytime soap opera opening iteration. I never watched the show because I was too young, but when someone shared this opening here on SON not too long ago I couldn't believe this was the opening, not just for a soap opera, but for a soap opera that's supposed to have been cutting edge with its inclusion of Black families and characters.

This is by no means taking away from the show itself and what it represented, but that opening literally had me not surprised it got canned so quickly. We're talking about an era where even a theme song could make or break your show. These days, openings are 15 seconds (more if we're lucky). Back then, themes were EVERYTHING!

That's interesting because the cut I saw from the first ___ episodes (I didn't say anything!) shows the same opening with 12 actors. Unless they opted to extend it with more people for when the show premieres on TV?

That's because they are now 3 months ahead. Just said. I love that we know, at least for now, what their tape to air timing is.

Was... was that a... plural?! You tease!

What do you mean? I didn't see a thing. Perhaps you are mistaken.

Why don't we have an emoji for nudge? 😉😜😉

At best, it was NBC overplaying GENERATIONS' historical importance within the genre.  At worst, it was sabotaging a new show (that only certain people at the network really believed in) before it even had a chance.

Just finished watching the livestream from Paley Center.

I'm calling it! Anita is the one with a long-lost son, either put up for adoption or believed to have died. No way she just has two daughters. No spoiler. No inside info. Pure gut feeling.
