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

    • Also, isn’t there supposed to be a storyline with Mariah and Tessa? Mariah cheating or something (keeping some kind of secret) and they were only on screen 2 and 3 times this month. Like what? How am I supposed to care when I barely see them? 
    • Definitely wouldn't trust Dinah right now haha.  But that's great to know Billy comes back soon!  I'm excited for that. If he's at the boardinghouse, then I guess he does get closer to Nola perhaps, and then he'll be around Peter/Bridget and J, who is currently in his orbit along with Michelle and Dahlia, and Marcus is at the boardinghouse, so maybe they go the teenage story route most of this time until Billy gets back.
    • Sounds like me, but I prefer to be referred to as Contessa. We all know I can go a long time not paying attention to certain things.  And, if I might add, hey there dude, you effed up pretty good this time and I think this was your last chance. So don't let the door hit you in your behind as you go BYE MOMMY!
    • That did cross my mind at first, but I'd be more inclined to believe it if this didn't involve Trump. I'm not at all sure he is capable of being that sneaky. Of course, there's always a possibility I guess that his advisors are doing it without telling him, but that seems awfully risky. Trump is such a loose cannon you can never predict what he's going to do or say.
    • Whoa. She should have fought like hell to get that. Was it the greatest show ever? No, but it had a fantastic cast and was practically guaranteed to last multiple seasons because of its star power. Could have certainly led to bigger and better things. If it had flopped she could have always gone back to soaps. Judith Light broke through on a sitcom where she was basically second banana to Tony Danza. That grew into a very busy and distinguished career. The woman is still regularly booked to this day.
    • I could understand her being frustrated by the fact that she'd been in the business 10+ years at that point, and probably couldn't even get in the door. But then again, she'd already gone out for pilot season once (that we know of) and she and  her agent knew a 35-ish woman had a very difficult time in Hollywood. I know she did a few guest spots, but other than Designing Women, nothing I saw--not even a Murder She Wrote, and that show had tons of ex-soapers on it. I mean, God bless Marilu Henner, but even having been on Taxi, she couldn't get arrested for years either.
    • I didn't rewatch that period, so I'm not really sure how much Bill is on. I recall something about him living at the boardinghouse. I think Van made Matt his guardian, and why she didn't name Josh would be a mystery to me, other than the HW decided they needed to keep Bill in Matt's sphere. Nola is also his aunt, although they don't know each other well, and Van wouldn't have trusted her anyway. There's Dinah---but she's unreliable. Billy gets out of jail around NYE.

    • That's on Kimmer. As someone posted above...she was offered roles in pilots but she would be part of an ensemble or supporting. She didn't want that so she came back to GL. I don't know what she thought would happen..someone offering her "Here's Kimmer!" or The "Zimmer Comedy Powerhouse Hour" variety show..but her housefrau fans did not have the same pull in HW as they did on the soaps. Forbes and Watros knew that you had to take small parts to get noticed ands start a career in primetime. I know she was in consideration for the wife in Evening Shade, but when you go up against Marilou Henner, the soap diva looses. I could see her frustrated in a role like that, where she has to be the understanding wife with a bit of sass, but she could have made it work, if it wasnt for her huge ego.  I think it would have been an issue haveing all the powerhouse comedy actors surrounding...(lets face it..Alice Ghostly woudl have wiped the floor with her...) but it would have been a good launching padd.
