Not the first time something like this has happened. Wasn't there an episode Michael Graziadei was credited twice in the credits? MESS! Not only are the openings cheap AF and ugly, but they're lazy.

And they left a visible stock-footage watermark on Sasha Calle’s intro slide a few years ago. The meticulousness that Y&R is known for has dipped dramatically.

Well, perhaps Josh Griffith shouldn't hold thirty-two million job titles.

This lol

With the budget crisis they have I can't believe they pay someone to make a custom title every day. They are at the point where the few extras never talk or are kept under 5 lines to save a buck, so why waste money on that? 

 

I would love to know the breakdown of this show's admin costs vs what actually is spent on production. I bet the ratio is much worse than B&B and GH even if their revenue is greater.

WTF, Jill said she built Chancellor Industries??? 

[Khan]

That's right up there with Kay's always insisting that Phillip still loved her and that they were going to reconcile, lol.

No. Jill said that the demerger voting involves the future of the company that she built, so she will be exercising her own vote (instead of having Billy vote proxy for her). 
She meant that she built *Chancellor-Winters*, not *Chancellor Industries*.

That's what happens, I guess, when you have more conglomerates on your show than actual characters.

[ranger1rg]

Or actual storylines for those conglomerates and characters.

All these people do is switch companies and executive chairs and rename companies. We have no idea what any company does or what any exec. does. Oh, excuse me, I forgot about Daniel's video game. When there's a new merger or new company name, they never give either time to succeed or fail. It's on to "Who's the new CEO?"

These board meetings are maddening. They stand around in Lily's tiny office -- no notes, no recording secretary, no formal procedure. It's all a farce.
