[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 415852, member: 27"] I know there is a lot of enthusiasm floating around in the build-up to the premiere of this series, and I want it to succeed. A rising tide lifts all boats, as they say. But if that preview is an accurate depiction of what they're going to produce daily....I'm worried. I hope that this is just a "sizzle reel" type of preview that one occasionally sees in film trailers where the PR department tries to make the movie appear to be something different than it is. I've been around long enough to know that many such productions (TV shows, movies, etc.) target certain audiences--that is, rather than being produced for mass audiences, they are looking to become a niche hit that can eventually spread its appeal outward. In short, I know some stuff just isn't made for me, and that's okay. Other than camp-master Ron Carlivati, the names behind the show are known for solid, traditional soap opera and not the sort of camp parody that the preview seems to be offering. Those who tune in expecting Tyler Perry-esque, nostril-flaring camp and don't get it will be disappointed and likely tune out, while the old farts like me who want traditional melodrama would see this type of OTT drama in commercials and never tune in to begin with.
