Where is that "it's happening" Ron Paul gif, or should we not jinx it?

Suck it, Les Moonves, whatever billion dollar hideaway you're in as I type this.

I hereby predict The Gates will debut on Monday January 6th, 2025 😁😃

A little over 8 months. Maybe MVJ had scripts ready and was working on them while on BOLD?

Not to be funny or anything but those other productions have writers to pay while he doesn’t.

Just to confirm... does Tyler Perry have no writers at all???

It's been my experience that my fellow African-Americans will watch just about any film or TV series that features us because even terrible representation is better than no representation at all.

It's a shame that the most powerful black producer/creator in Hollywood delivers a s*it product. His refusal to hire writers and seeming ignorance of how bad his work is is astounding. There are a few Tyler Perry Productions like House of Pane that I enjoy, but others just fall flat.

Finally CBS has given up on The Talk!

Given this announcement came out of nowhere (at least for me) I wouldn’t be surprised if she did or at least have some outlines.

My second purely speculative uneducated guess would be maybe either February and/or first week of March 2025 (at least before March Madness)? Let TPIR reruns/extras warm the spot.

I wonder what CBS will air in the Talk's timeslot till the Gates premiere's? 

O.J. and The Talk die. The Gates is (likely/potentially) born.

Can’t make this sh!t up.

Oooo! That is a perfect way to view what all has gone down. The show that killed my precious ATWT and the man who killed all of daytime (don't know if that's appropriate to say but my apologies) kicking the bucket. Pure karma.

CBS, go ahead and make me happy by canceling Let's Make a Deal! We can bring back ATWT & GL as 30-minute soaps. 

"The Talk" should have been silenced years ago, lol.

As I've never met anyone who watched LMAD I would be glad to see it replaced by a soap and seeing the old P&G soaps again (I'd even take Search). I keep having to remind myself we're still not even fully sure about The Gates getting on rather than just another talk show or game show or repeats.

I agree.  Unfortunately, there are too many people too willing to keep watching his TV series, movies and original plays.  Until that changes, and audiences start demanding better from him, he's not likely to evolve his craft.

I really hope we don't get another talk show anytime soon.  I think we scraped the bottom of that barrel the day we decided to give Drew Barrymore her own show.

I can't see why they wouldn't just air The Talk until The Gates is ready to premiere. It's a show that can literally wrap filming at any point in time if needed, so I think we've gotten a timeline on when we can expect The Gates.

But it said it last airs in December, why not just extend it's final airdate till the Gates is ready if they're going to do that

Might just air TPIR repeats or LMAD

Hell, they could air repeats of "December Bride" and even that would pull in better ratings than "The Talk."
