BTG: History, Behind the Scenes Articles & Photos

[Taoboi]

Great to hear. Though I've always hated CBS's player.

[Errol]

I get the idea since it doesn't count as part of the show's actual first season episodes, but since it's five episodes, will episode 2 be S01E0.5 or something else? Weird.

Tamara Tunie is rocking the s--- out of her gray hair. She's serving up messy matriarch/grande dame fierceness.

Is TT wearing a wig for BTG? In the special they show her with short curly hair 

[BetterForgotten]

She’s probably wearing (very good) wigs. The benefit of having people on staff who understand styling for black women.

I tried watching the special live on Paramount+ at 2pm on our local affiliate and it kept glitching,so it never came on. At 2:30pm B&B unfortunately aired. I was finally able to watch it on Paramount+ and it was more than I could have ever imagined. I am already so proud of this show.

Since we are in the same area, hopefully it is working better tomorrow. 

 

I will watch it when I can. Or find good clips.

"ozarksfirst.com" which is
KOLR in Springfield, Missouri (CBS)
combined with KRBK Osage Beach, Missouri (FOX) 
did a feature on BTG today. 
It starts with one of the longer BTG promos we've already seen.
Then the local talk/news hosts discuss it.

You have to hand it to Generations. For a little soap that ran for less than two years in a bad time slot, it certainly left its mark. Not only was it MVJ's first soap writing job, Sheila Ducksworth specifically mentions Generations as the impetus for developing BTG.

[kalbir]

Generations paved the way for soaps integrating their casts in the 1990s and the launch of Empire a decade ago.

Do the closing credits have any theme music with them? Any Procter & Gamble long logo after the closing?

Not exactly sure how a showrunner hiring popular soap actors she's worked with before is being implied as underhanded or trashy or bad for the show, but I guess that's what happens when your fanfic get thrown in the trash without being opened at the production offices.

I came in here only to talk about today's show and be overjoyed about this experience, but I'm of course thrilled to instead have to wade through another 3-4 pages of people quoting this troll because even when they were reposting clickbait outrage merchant videos of people who have no connection to this forum that are full of sexism and homophobia, they can never be at least cautioned or disciplined. Disciplining the board, after all, isn't the moderators' job. It's only ours.

But whatever. I'll be back when I've watched it and gotten this foul taste out of my mouth ruining what should be a celebratory day.
