I'm giving the show at least 13 weeks before saying anything too critical about it.  I figure that's enough for the writing staff to uncover what is and is not working and make the necessary adjustments.

I'm also not even going to bother reading all the posts before mine whenever I'm in this thread, because life is too short and my ass is too uncomfortable, lol.

Opening up to The Emotions "Best of my Love" is EPIC. That lets me know that NAACP & P&G are not afraid to put up some money for this show to be a success. I think that the tax break they are getting here in GA might allow them to redirect funds into something cute like music in future episodes. 

That aside, I enjoyed it. I think my only gripe (and it isn't major) is that we didn't need Ashley and Derek to premiere today. They could've been saved for Wednesday or Thursday episodes. I wanted to see more of Chelsea and Dani the nagging tension those two have. Don't know if it was just me, but I expect them to clash heavily in the future. 

I didn't mind the hospital set. Yes, it was bright, but that might be a lighting issue. They might need to take a nod from the John Conboy school of lighting and possibly dim the lights on the hospital set. 

I think Bill's office has to be my favorite set from the first episode. I am wondering what he is going to want to be paid in the future for the guy he gave a favor to.

Why is it still just showing the five preview specials on my P+? Today’s Y&R and B&B are up, and BTG switched from “Watch Trailer” to “Watch Now,” but still just the previews.

Re: using real music. ATWT was using real music semi-regularly up to the end, I believe. Is there a connection (other than P&G)?

I really appreciate that they added that in, even if it was very obviously added in, after the fact.  We know they started filming just before Election Day.  I'm glad we're not pretending we don't know these characters' political leanings.  I look forward to seeing how that is handled when we get further in - to scripts that were written more recently.

For cbs, just keep the same URL and substitute cbs.com for paramountplus.com.
This works for most CBS shows (daytime and primetime), I've discovered.  The link is shown first on PPlus, but not obvious on cbs.com at first, but just substitute as described and it works.

So it's here:

I will say I don't get Marquita Goings opening credit - she's giving way too much sass with the eye blink and from the first episode you'd think she's more innocent, but maybe there's something unfolding there

    • This leads to one of my favorite scenes ever...I won't spoil it but it is a very clever meta moment unmasking Brent to the cops...(it may have happened.) Also you already saw one of my favorite lines..."You, you think I'm a LESBIAN???" even crazy Brent is shocked that Lucy is that dumb, and only crazy Brent would be pissed at being mistaken for gay instead of being a psychotic rapist /killer.   Hate that scene, made both adult women look like morons. Amanda is way too subtle for that, I could see her egging emotional Blake into doing that and making a fool of herself in front of everyone. The whole story would have been more fun if Amanda was manipulating Blake to look like the Blake of old.   One of McLaiby's biggest mistakes is what they do to Bridget, who grew up since having Peter and loosing Maureen and running a business.I remember Liabson saying in the press..."The Bridget we know is back" but that was over, and being more adult does not mean you have to be boring..she was even less feisty here, she just looks pathetic.    This story is so gross... and too bad too, cause Griffin is sexy as hell. I can see Viv getting steamed on him but....   There is a spectrum of sexuality that some people can go in and out of, depending on special people they may find attractive...and we can leave it at that. I never trust the long distance girlfriend boyfriend but I hope he is happy and settled. I would have HATED the Abby storyline. He raped and killed too many people to be "reformed," and to have anyone in SF accept him or trust him after that would make them look like morons.  
    • Eva convinced Nicole to have the party -- due to Leslie/Dana's insistence that there be a party when they do their planned dramatic reveal. They haven't specified which anniversary it is for Ted and Nicole. How many years have they been married?  It's not 10, 20, 25, 30 or some specific number that you'd celebrate. Kat pointed out that there was no plan for a party until Eva instigated it, which indicates to me that it's some odd number of years.
    • Why is Billy such a wet rag in every scene he's in? Isn't he the same man responsible for the disastrous Chancellor Remodel back in 2016?
    • Okay, after reflecting on Mucas overnight, I suggest we cut to the chase & call them  SNOT You have to admit that it would be different!
    • Part of me feels both Jacob and Naomi might show up at some point today. As "late arrivals", etc.
    • MVJ seems to be cognizant that Leslie and Eva are true breakouts for this show:

    • Yesterdays episode was a great lead in the fireworks for today.  It is a shame that Naomi and Jacob are not there and Nicole's best friend Vanessa and Doug.I am interested to see the fallout from this.  I do think that Eva is Ted and Nicole's daughter.
    • Okay, I hear ya. But, you know Josh Griffith on one Thursday night fired 7 or 8 writers in one fell swoop! That totally blew my mind. But, I still think this is bunk. And, no, the show is not that bad! Literally, my only problem with it, as a fan, is that I think it could be great & it's just not. It's good, not great. They still are not on top of pacing. They routinely take too long to tell stories. But, one example, the scenes this week with Lulu & Laura were like old time soap come home!
    • Ok nevermind, Wolf is in Marian's getup on the Jan 9th episode. Lucy wakes up at the lighthouse and it's now Marian, drinking tea, and sounding like an old British woman a la Mrs. Doubtfire

       Wolf is actually doing a good job as Brett, but I don't think they made him look like a believable Marian - its too clown/drag, but also creepier - and Wolf has a large nose they couldn't hide. I guess at this point, it didn't matter since she was unhinged and revealing him/herself anyway.
