Hi everyone! I feel bad that I am enjoying all your videos and I don’t have any to share in return. But here is my small contribution… I traveled to NYC for work and visited the Paley Center for Media (formerly Museum of TV and Radio). They have an extensive library of just about every show ever broadcast. They have a nice collection of YR episodes, which I have summarized here. If you’re ever in NYC or the other location in LA, I highly recommend a visit, to get your YR fix! The key thing to know is that some episodes have been digitized, and are instantly available for viewing at one of the museum’s viewing stations in NYC or LA. Some other episodes are not digitized… they are only available in an analog tape format. The museum staff have to retrieve the analog tape and then you watch it on a special analog VCR. I’ve noted which episodes are analog below, and this is specific to the NYC museum (I don’t know what analog tapes the LA museum has). Listed chronologically (museum doesn’t always list airdate so in some cases I’m guessing): First episode - 1973 Snapper and Chris Discuss Premarital Sex – 1973 Chris and Snapper’s Wedding – 1974 Chris and Snapper’s Honeymoon – 1974 Jed Plans to Divorce Betty – 1974 Katherine Chancellor’s Alcoholism/the AA Meeting – 1975 Liz considers pulling the plug on her husband’s life support – 1976 Liz Foster pulls the plug on Bill’s life support – 1976 Aftermath of Lance and Lori making love on an airplane – 1977 Jennifer Brooks discovers she has breast cancer – 1977 Nikki, Rose, and Vince dump dead client – 1979 Crazy Edward threatens Nikki’s life – 1981 - analog (I watched this and will post a summary) Victor & Nikki’s New Year’s Eve – 198? - analog Victor, Paul and Andy save Nikki from Rick Daros – 1984 - analog Victor overcomes his impotence – 1984 Katherine Chancellor removes bandages after face lift surgery – 1984 - analog Victor and Nikki’s Wedding 4/13/84 Paul and Andy rescue Lauren in San Francisco – 1986 - analog (I watched this and will post a summary) Jessica Granger tells the family she has AIDS – 1988 - analog Cricket and Danny take Nan to see crack babies – 199? - - analog Danny and Cricket’s Wedding on Maui – 1990 Drucilla acknowledges her illiteracy to Nathan – 1990 - analog David Kimble pursued and crushed in trash compactor – 1991 - analog Victor collapses/Cricket press charges against Michael/Victoria hopes to marry Ryan – 1992 Cole tells Victoria that they might be siblings – 1994 - analog Jack and Luan Reunification/Keemo accepts Jack – 1994 - analog Chris and Paul honeymoon in Nevis – 1996 - analog Keesha talks about living with AIDS – 1996 Victor rescues Cassie - ??? - analog 30th Anniversary – 3/26/03 Museum of TV Radio – a night with the Young and the Restless 3/15/90 (this is really cool because I just watched the winter 1990 episodes, and the whole 1990 cast is present at this event!) Museum of TV Radio – The Making of… a William J. Bell soap opera: The Young and the Restless 10/11/97 Museum of TV Radio Salute to the Young and the Restless 3/25/03 Paley Center: Young and the Restless 35th Anniversary 4/10/08 Paley Center: Young and the Restless: Celebrating 10,000 Episodes 8/23/12

I just learned that Terry Lester quit the show for a time in 1985. Anyone know exactly how long he was gone for, and what brought him back to YR?

Thanks all! YRfan23 and I have been having great conversations in the comments area of posted episodes on YouTube.

Hi everyone! I've been lurking for a few months and finally created an account. I'm so happy to find this community. I've been a YR fan since I started watching at the age of 11 in 1983. I remember my first episode because it was so dramatic - Jack Abbott was rushed to the hospital after being shot! I also remember Lauren publicly daring Traci to wear a bathing suit. My favorite Y&R actresses are Deborah Adair and Lilibet Stern - I'm obsessed with their portrayals of Jill and Patty. Thank you all for sharing the wealth of videos. I've watched so many already... working my way through chronologically and currently on May 1990. Loving the Katherine/Marge story, and anticipating the debuts of the Barbers and Sheila
