Exclusive: "The Bold and the Beautiful" Goes High-Def
Jul 20, 2011

The stars of daytime's No. 2 soap are about to get a big dose of reality:

On September 7, CBS's "The Bold and the Beautiful" will start broadcasting in high definition, a development "that will take our show to a whole new look and level," exec producer Brad Bell tells TV Guide Magazine.

"We knew back when we did all that CGI work on the Brookeberries story that it would have been so much better in high-def. Now we've got what we need to really move the show forward. And it's about time because, globally, you need to be high-def. It's now expected that you deliver your product that way."

("B&B" is the most widely seen daily drama in the world.)

That's great, but what's with so many shows going HD 5-7 years too late? Many local news broadcasts are full-HD, and have been for quite a few years, but there are tons of national shows (mostly reality) that aren't HD at all yet.
