Demos are all that matter, and the show is performing much better than The Talk after just four weeks on the air. It has time to grow. The Talk also lost lots of viewers following The Bold and the Beautiful and it aired for 15 seasons.

The fact that Y&R + B&B demos have been up each of the past 4 or so weeks from last year is impressive. Especially since very few shows in any daypart have increased. I'm betting BTG has brought renewed interest to CBS soaps across the board. It can't be a coincidence.

What % of the country is BTG airing? Are some stations showing it out of timeslot eg 9.00 am?

That can affect overall numbers.

Want to see BTG showing growth in the next few months.

At least it is beating GH in key demos, which has to concern ABC.

Beyond the Gates airs at 2:00 p.m. ET/1:00 p.m. PT. No CBS affiliate is known to be airing the show out of its designated time slot.

Credit where it's due, CBS executed a near perfect launch for this show. Massive promotion, a great timeslot & high clearance rates. For comparison (thanks again @JAS0N47 ) B&B had only a 93-94% clearance rate for its first 5 years. Generations, by comparison, had a 98% rate until its last few weeks on the air.

I do wish BTG's numbers were higher. However, Y&R and B&B up over last year must be making CBS happy. This is good for BTG. The numbers wouldn't be up if The Talk was still airing. 

I'm curious what percentage of BTG's audience doesn't watch live. I feel the audience spreads out to a wider base that isn't "traditional". This may be another plus for BTG. 

BTG has been really great quality, IMO. I see this show as a successful launch. Soaps don't have the cache like they used to. There aren't going to be blowout numbers. Live numbers are solely less important than they were years ago. Hopefully, BTG is streaming well.

I do wonder, too, how much streaming and delayed viewing play in for this show in particular since it's a new launch, including how is it doing on Paramount +.

I see nothing scary yet. They had a very powerful first week. It's normal to have a cool-down period. But trust me... people are talking about the show... sharing it with their relatives. I've been noticing activation on social media like never before. I predict we'll see BTG grow in the coming months. 

Aaaaaaaaaaaand still... they are out-performing GH in crucial demos... What does that tell you?

I think the numbers for BTG are very encouraging. Of course, I want them higher but I believe that will happen over time. CBS definitely pays closer attention to the 25-54 demo and it's doing well there so far. I consider BTG to be a success.

    • I loved watching Shanice hand Leslie her ass and finally shutting her up. It was so good. I also love Martin & Smitty's family.  Anita has to have some sort of plan giving Leslie the tickets to mail for Winterfest. She has to be setting her up for a fall. It's pretty obvious to me Vernon is not cheating with Sharon. I think Sharon is helping him with his terrible singing voice for Winterfest. I still believe Bill & Dani are endgame but I love Dani & Andre too. I am definitely enjoying this story. And making Hayley a black widow is a nice twist.
    • Sorry for the spam. Wasn't sure where to put this, it's from Tony Geary's husband's IG. Tony watching Genie and Maurice on Mo's show.
    • This show is really trundling along BTW. When is someone going to show up to slit Beastmaster's throat or crack the whip on metrosexual Sidwell? (BTW, openly presenting this cheery bon vivant as casually bisexual would at least be something vaguely diverting.) At least kill Brennan by year's end. I'm bored.
    • She told Vanessa to "DOUBLE her offer" on the Jarvis house.  The Jarvis family accepted the doubled price.  Assuming the house has an appraised value of $2,000,000, she's theoretically paid the Jarvis family $4,000,000 for the house.  The bank would loan Leslie 80% of the appraised value ($1,600,000), and Leslie had to pay the balance with cash at closing --- $2,200,000.  She only had ONE million.  Where the hell did she get the rest?!  And now she's got contractors working on the house all day & half the night.  Who's paying THEM?  I keep thinking all this will crash around her.  Either that or the writers have absolutely no idea the limits of a million dollars.  Sounds like a "lot of money", but it obviously ain't when we look at Leslie's spending since she got that million dollar check in August.

    • Vernon is an idiot. Why would he have Sharon in the same hotel that Leslie is staying at?
    • Yes, that out of the blue return was odd. Maybe GG found a forgotten clause in the contract he signed when he was wooed to ABC and they were forced to take him back! Like George Reinholt he talked about the contract that promised him primetime roles. But it was loaded in the networks favor. I think it was Gloria Loring that re-signed at Days on the promise of primetime opportunities, but that was all it was- she was put up for guest spots and TV movies but not necessarily guaranteed that she get the role.
    • I still am baffled by why Monty brought back stunt hire Gerald Gordon in the early '80s out of nowhere for like a year. I haven't found anyone who can come up with a thing he did in that second stint of note.
    • It's interesting to watch this having watched The Doctors. I'm not sure I'm seeing that much of a difference in the characters Gerald Gordon and Anna Stuart played on The Doctors and what they're playing here.
    • I keep forgetting a huge chunk of that year was written by scabs. You're probably right, because by the time the strike was over, they were likely planning an exit for Alan's character as it must have been obvious by then that Bernau was not going to return. If he was still there, it's also doubtful they would have approached MZ and MG about coming back. Wild.
