I feel so so so good, and confident, because not only is MVJ an excellent, seasoned veteran writer but she's the first black to be in the position she is in & also the first soap HW to also be a Show Runner! When I see her name & the string of titles: Creator, Headwriter, Executive Producer and Show Runner, I am filled with joy. So many firsts & so well deserved! And, the icing she's also a woman.

BTG on Paramount+ with Showtime

So, if you watch on this you are paying extra to get the show on the day of rather than the next day. However, the result is not 2 pm/live. I just got off the phone with Help/Support & today, S1E4, loaded at 5:20 Eastern & they indicated I could count on that time daily. 

It seems weird that it's not 2 pm/live. I did this for the Emmys & that was live.

I feel like there's something basic about people's viewing habits & desires that they are fundamentally missing!

Are you saying you want to watch it live during its broadcast airing time? If so with that package you just have to go to the CBS local station feed attached to your account and its right there

I honestly hate that and prefer the upload to be after the national airing. I always have to avoid Eastenders and Corrie spoilers on my timeline super early in the AM, I was happy BBC waited to upload during the EE anniversary week.

I used to have ParamountPlus with showtime.
I could watch shows live on my local channel (as stated above).
So you could watch BTG at the same time that your local channel airs it.

I now have plain ParamountPlus *without* showtime.
BTG is uploaded there and also to cbs.com about an hour after it airs in Pacific Time.
That's SAME DAY (not next day).
On Monday Feb. 24, it was up at 2pm Pacific, 5pm Eastern.
Today Thurs Feb. 27, it was up at 3pm Pacific, 6pm Eastern.

If you think it's likely up but can't see it on the menu, then try this:
Watch the last five minutes of yesterday's episode, and it will segue into the start of today's episode.  If it's on the site but not on the menu yet, that will work.
If it's not on the site yet, then you have to wait.

Thanks so much. I need to experiment because I'm going to change my plan & get a refund, if so. I just don't understand  it because it worked, as promised, for the last 2 Daytime Emmys, so why is this different?

 

Yes & no. But, wait, I have a CBS feed in my Paramount+ w/S account? But, anyway, if it's there & I can access, once it's up it stays up, right? Like if I can't watch it till 4 eastern, it will continue to be accessible to me? I'm really not stupid. I'm thrown because something apparently exists that I had no knowledge of!!

Edit to Add: So if I select Live TV it's just whatever is on ATM & I don't see a way to go back to an earlier time. Right? If so, this doesn't help me at all.

      Leslie's fantasy

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      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?

      Y&R/B&B/GL Vault Updates

      By DemetriKane · Posted

      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.

      B&B: Old/Classic Discussion & Articles

      By BoldKara · Posted

      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.

      GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      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

      All My Children Tribute Thread

      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.

      ALL: Drag/Crossdressing Disguises in Soap Operas?

      By EricMontreal22 · Posted

      Yep Edmund and Tad went under cover to infiltrate the... Willow Lake (I think?) old folks community scandal that was exploiting Phoebe, etc.  (Which at one point led to Edmund rescuing Brooke from quicksand--common around Pine Valley I guess

      Please register in order to view this content

      ) EDIT maybe I'm wrong.  I found the quicksand scene 

      Please register in order to view this content

      But for the story all I can find is Edmund going undercover as the gigolo "preying" on older women, Eduardo (no one would recognize him with that disguise and name ) so the drag must have been.. a different story?
