What a cheap, cheesy ass promo. Seriously, it's like they just randomly showed up a park and decided on a whim to play volleyball and shoot a "promo" because someone happened to have a camera in their pocket. LoL @ them using that same cheap ass song they used last summer. Thanks, Angie! Muah! |

This is no surprise since I loved the one last year but I LOVED this promo. I was eagerly awaiting this because of all the pictures and interviews we've seen from this shoot. I continue to like the song they used. EJ/Nicole looked adorable and how cute was Joe Mascolo with the rope in his mouth behind Ari? I love the idea of seeing all the couples and people involved in story together interacting in a fun setting. I also like that we see family relationships in display too like Caroline with Bo, Hope, and Ciara, Little Theo in the middle of everything, Roman and Sami hugging, and Maggie being embraced by both Nathan and Lucas. I also loved Lucas and Daniel taking off their shirts and doing a pull up competition for Chloe LOL. The only thing I didn't like was the part where we saw Kate by herself throwing a ball or something similar (couldn't make it out for some reason). That looked so random and she did not look like she wanted to be there LOL. Nice having the whole cast involved, especially characters like Victor, Stefano, Maggie, Caroline, Abe, and Lexie who are never a part of shoots like these usually. I hope they do more of these with the whole cast. It's nice. So nice seeing all the couples and potential new couples together too. Brady/Arianna looked cute in the promo (still not on board with them yet) and Nathan/Melanie, Sami/Rafe, and Philip/Stephanie looked great. Bo and Hope were awesome together as always. Really good promo though. Had a youthful energy to it, which is what they are going for. Now I hope they do what they did last year and air this alot during the show in the next few weeks and that they add story tags later like they did last year to promote what will happen.

LMAO Nubia. Stefano was awesome in this promo. Joe seemed to have a blast. It was hilarious the way he looked at Ari with the rope in his mouth. I also think you can see it as more of a cast promo then an actual story promo. It came off more like a way of endearing the show and it's current cast to the show's target audience. If and when they add story tags to it like they did last year, then it will become more of a story/show promo. |

Maybe to you but to others I know it does. The one that aired last year got 3 of my co-workers at work to watch it (I usually watche Days in the coffee room at work on my lunch LOL) and they aren't even the show's current target audience. They are both in there mid-30's and it caught their attention. Of course, the one they saw had the story tags with it but still. |

Don't worry. You're not missing out. Just picture the cast of DAYS frolicking around a park set to the tune of lame, cheesy music, and there you go. |

This is a soap opera. It shouldn't be sold as some sort of feel-good, well-natured "volleyball in the park" kind of show. Yes, people who already watch might enjoy the promo because they get to see all the actors being silly and having fun together, but how will something like this ever pull in new viewers? I don't see how it will. |

Well, as I stated, it pulled in a few people I know who had never watched. Granted, it's only 3 people but if it can pull in 3 people that have never watched a soap in their life, I'm willing to bet that it will work again with others out there providing NBC actually airs it alot. That is the issue. I mean, people complain about the promos and the summer promos but they are hardly seen outside of the Internet so maybe that is why they are made the way they are now. Maybe they figure if they are just going to be aired online, you adapt to that by making the weekly promos shorter and by going with the fun setting for the summer. I'm not saying for sure that your completely wrong. It may only bring in people here or there but the point is it will get someone to watch. Not everyone has the same tastes as you, me, or anyone. We'll all different so to assume this will without a doubt do nothing to help the show is a hard argument to buy IMO. There is no definitive way to sell soaps. Every soap has an identity and you try to represent that so new fans can see what the show is about so they can choose whether or not it's for them. Days is targeting mostly a young audience so this suits that. I wouldn't expect Y&R or GH to do this because it doesn't suit them but it suits Days right now so it makes sense.

This was nice.I consider touched up couples in big production promos staring at eachother in smoldering ways more cheesey than this |
