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:
https://www.cbs.com/shows/video/xntraLCHjwumHJHCftwnL78kOPGZCDEm/

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

    • Do we believe that Jabot is at the level of Estee Lauder?? I am on board with Jabot deciding to expand but the way it was handled was ridiculous. Jabot just decided and bingo, that was that. Not months of negotiations and decisions about how it would fit into the Jabot portfolio. And then no follow through. Josh thinks he's serving business stories by characters sitting around and discussing mergers, takeovers and job switching. Now we have Audra setting up her own company -Vibrator or something. Well, why not? You don't need staff, office space or even products.
    • He a dirty dog! Those are his kids and he hurt everyone. At this point he needed to just come clean. I can't believe I was lusting over this man! I hope they aren't quick to forgive.
    • The way I took it is that he did not want to confirm or deny anything until he talked to Nicole first. He was very calculated with the wording he used with Martin and Kat
    • I still see Alfonso Ribeiro as Carlton when Martin gets angry.
    • Not that I want to defend Y&R's writers, but it's not as absurd as you'd think and I believe they plucked it from reality (and then bungled it). The Estee Lauder Companies purchased Tom Ford's brand several years ago and I am willing to bet that's how Jabot came to buy Marchetti.
    • Loved the episode today. looking forward to the fallout. Nubian-Sheila looked fantastic, but I wish the writers would cut back on her overuse of figurative language. I loved the "fix yo mind ministries" line though. The background music during her fantasy confrontation with Nicole was epic.
    • Nothing makes sense on this show. I wish there was a garbage can emoji. That sums up 90% of the show right now.
    • You're welcome

      Jane Wyman return episode was head-to-head w/ Cheers season 8 finale. Falcon Crest broadcast syndication began Fall 1986, which overlapped w/ Oprah going national. AFAIK cable broadcasts were Lifetime and Soapnet. I have no memory of cable broadcasts on TBS, TNT, TNN, E!, FX.
    • After today’s rushed and abrupt exit for Summer I immediately realized that Josh & Co. were very blindsided by AL’s decision to leave.  Not the first time this has happened to JG either; see MM & HK’s exits in 2021, MM’s exit in 2022, and of course TSJ’s exit last year. Obviously JG and our executive in charge of nothing Steve Kent don’t have a good handle on casting disruptions. And Mariah having an offscreen affair is [!@#$%^&*] ridiculous!! Meanwhile Tessa’s blonde hair is overkill with the number of blondes on the show already. I said the same thing 3 years ago…of course it was utterly ridiculous everyone was mad at Sally for getting Summer he dream job (don’t ask lol) but there was so much the show could have done without bringing on the Marchetti angle.
