The thumbnails are glorious! Jill looks like Scarlett O'Hara!

1992! Awesome.

I'd rank this episode behind Nikki's but above Jack's.  I think Nikki's was better in part because it was her memoirs, so she was able to contemplate the entirety of her life.  Victor's was a little formulaic with each person giving a little speech and then a clip playing.  I wanted to see a good long scene with Victor holding Julia's lover in the dungeon (seems like we only ever get 5 second clips) and some of his other misdeeds, some of his "deaths," Ashley's abortion confrontation, and more of the downs in his and Nikki's relationships.  But in the context of having a party celebrating his corporation's anniversary, that wouldn't have made sense ("Hey, remember when I aborted your child and had a nervous breakdown? Mazel tov!").  Everything was more on the positive side or if that was something negative, it was to show how he overcame it.  They should have opened or closed with scenes of just Victor thinking about his life.  Maybe there will be more tomorrow.  I'm watching unspoiled.  

Very puzzling how they spent time having him escort Julia out, and didn't use that opportunity to show an older clip of just them.  That was such a miss.  For the newer viewers did they even explain she was his first wife?!  The scene with Neil was too short and they should have picked something much older, and there was just a blip of Kay.  But points for showing Col. Douglas Austin! They really should have cut that art installation out and showed more clips, why even waste the budget on that? 

I really loved the scene between Victor and Paul, that was a surprise.  I think there was a script of that scene floating around FaceBook, didn't think we'd ever see it!  Who knew these would end up being two epic characters?  And of course the scenes between Victor and both parents were fantastic.  There were some nice choices of scenes I wouldn't necessarily have picked that were a really pleasant surprise, like the Nikki as a maid scene and the flirting scene with Jill.  The show was so good back then that any throwaway scene like that was still just awesome.

Complain as I might, it's fantastic that they do this.  How I envy the person that is responsible for watching and picking the clips! And I'm amazed how good the old scenes look.  You'd think they were filmed in HD.  The quality looks fantastic, this would be great on streaming... sigh.

Bloopers of Eric Braeden going back to the early 80s.  So, not only does CBS have crystal clear archives of all the episodes, they even have the tapings...

@Days22thank you! We are all busy, and better late than never! 

It's a double edged sword, because if they did include soaps, they'd probably remove the considerable amount of P&G soaps that are on YouTube.

Wow!!! I can hardly keep up with the new uploads. Thanks!

One was the Spring 1989 fashion show... About 70% of the entire episode was muted

@BoldRestless the show was 503 epiosode. The song you bring the stars out is muted at the end of 588. The show on Queen Mary which is yet to come has some music too i think. 

Thanks.

I'm reading that TubeDigger is the go-to for downloading from most sites... has anyone tried it who has the videoland service? Maybe @FrenchFan? There is a free trial available.  If it doesn't work I will see if I can ask someone what they recommend.

Has anyone confirmed that B&B was the same episode that got pulled Friday?

I think "Amy" has to mute pop music occasionally due to copyright issues. It happened only twice in her uploads so far, I think. It is annoying but I'll take what I get. 'cause no: I haven't been able to get onto the Dutch videoland.nl site.

 

Do you know the episode numbers?

The Whitney song at Kristen's party worked, interestingly enough. In other cases it's obvious the production is using generic music to cover copyrighted music, sometimes covering the dialogue.

Is it Amy editing out the music or is it the Dutch site?

Yes! I was just thinking about that today. On my provider channel 55 was actually channel 10 and I was checking the schedule today but no Y&R.

My DVR didn't pick up B&B or GH today but did get Y&R. Not sure if that means anything. It usually records even if the broadcast is actually the hearing.

@AdamNewmanFan  there is quite a bit of 2008 if you click on the playlists here: https://www.youtube.com/user/bhindthosegreeneyes 

Certainly it's a good time for DAYS fans and all soap fans to launch a social media campaign urging them to put up as much classic DAYS as possible... and if it's a success, maybe they'll eventually consider it for Y&R.

This is playing havoc with my DVR because the episodes won't record because it says that they are "old" episodes.

My trick is to record Y&R but set it to record an additional 30 minutes. 

What a mess... wouldn't they at least have released the holiday scenes as their bonus content online then? I never bother to look at it, but if it were the Thanksgiving or Christmas content, I would. Also annoyed they aired a non-classic on Christmas day instead of catching up. 

At least with Y&R, even though they were a couple of episodes behind at Christmas, the holiday mood was still there because everything was decorated (and they really did a beautiful job this year) and the characters were discussing the upcoming Christmas plans.  The latest B&B episodes are so out of place they as may as well have aired in summer.

If they are editing things they could very easily just edit a week's worth of these boring Thomas episodes into one day... maybe two LOL.

And a couple of holiday uploads from me:

(BTW, I am looking for the Michael Baldwin special, if anyone has it)

pannoni4 has uploaded some Christmas episodes from 1996 and 1998 (3 episodes so far)

Merry Christmas y'all!

I'm reading on Twitter that Y&R aired Neil's funeral today. We were preempted in NY. So I assume today's show will air tomorrow nationwide.
