Hahah that's good to know! I also think that prior to 2002 they used to have add more shade to the Amerigo font but maybe it was my TV set. 

They started to use a heavier weight of Amerigo in 2018 for some reason, which is why the text looks whiter than it used to.

I love this! You even used the right font for the text on screen!  Amazing.

I've always been a sucker for detail LOL. The typeface they use is Amerigo BT (I asked a bunch of font connaiseurs in a forum a while back).

I'm glad you noticed too!

 Great! I have the Becoming B&B documentary, the German you tube stuff and the Australian versions of the wedding classics (they upload more videos and have the deleted scenes). I will put them up. 

 

You guys are great! I saw them in the folder, thanks! I just moved them inside folders that are from the appropriate year to keep them as organized as possible.

Also I had to delete the 2005-2012 folders since I encountered an error uploading my episodes so if you put anything in there, it'll have to be done again, sorry!

The vault?

I've created a Y&R cloud drive which we call the Vault haha. Details are on my signature if you have them enabled.

Jeez. Did they cut Raul entirely or just some of it? I have a copy of 9/5/02 and am uploading to your vault (YouTube blocked it last time), but I'm not 100% sure whether it's the original or a prior rebroadcast. That's some BS. It was 36 minutes long. I don't like this creative editing.

All of Raul, Mac, and Brittany was cut. The rebroadcast is on the vault if you want to catch it!

One change I do appreciate (and especially because I've communicated this to Mike Dobson over Twitter) was that some of the cues originally dubbed at the wrong pitch was corrected (which had been a problem since late 2001 and wasn't corrected until last year).

Also the wedding singer was cut out with an arrangement of "Here Comes the Bride", though if I remember correctly she wasn't all that popular LOL.

Just a small note for tomorrow's US episode in regards to Nikki and Victor's 2002 Wedding:

The episode was heavily edited to focus on Nikki and Victor's wedding which had scenes from mostly the 2002-09-05 show, but also a few from the 2002-09-09 and 2002-09-10 show. Scenes that were cut in the original airing included Raul in the hospital after recovering from a drunk driving accident after an argument with Brittany, and a brief Jack and Phyllis scene as Phyllis was heavily distracted by her feud with Diane. Scenes that were added include the Niktor Wedding Dance and Ashley daydreaming about a life with Victor and Abby with a photo montage at the end. In my opinion, this edit was well done.

I couldn't actually watch this due to secondhand embarrassment but here you go...

 

 

It really wasn't that bad haha. It's just a run of the mill mass interview/what have you guys been up to session under the guise of the GC Buzz name. It's nice to see the actors outside of their element once in a while.

Alrighty as requested, I've also created a B&B Vault! Best part - no registration required, just click on the link here and it's easy as dragging and dropping! If you're having trouble accessing the site, try using your browser's Private Browsing or Incognito mode. The links in my signature will take you to both.

For full disclosure, I bought a OneDrive business account via eBay. This gives me a "lifetime" 5TB of storage. The only main concern is that it's very possible that the account may cease to work down the road - however from what I've read from other people who've done something similar, Microsoft is unlikely to be diligent about auditing these accounts that are sold. I'm also not terribly concerned about the data on this, considering it's just a collection of videos with no sensitive information. I will, however, continue to research some solutions for backing this up in the event it goes down!

I've contributed some episodes and clips in the vault including the events surrounding Macy's Death in 2000 and Brooke going after Ridge again in 2001.

Hello there, this is my first post to this forum. I am fan from Finland since 1999 and want to thank you for all of the great footage you have been uploading. Here is my shares from my personal collection. It is not much but it is the best I can do for you.

I am looking for the episodes from 1998-2004. 

 

 

This is terrific! I can download them and migrate them over to the new B&B vault I've created.

Nikki has two dead husbands and you'd never know it. Speaking of dead spouses, did Victor mourn Sabrina at all? I doubt he's mentioned her since.

 

@Taoboi I keep thinking your signature is a new post

Victor did mourn Sabrina for a while actually ! He blamed Nikki and told her that it should have been her that died and not Sabrina, and had a breakdown somewhere in between.

I feel like I need to give Joshua Landers a special shoutout in this storyline. He was Nikki's husband who was shot and killed the same night Nikki got shot and she seemed to have forgotten him at the drop of a hat as soon as she married Victor in the hospital. I don't even think they showed a scene of Nikki grieving Joshua beyond her finding out he died while she was in the hospital bed in critical condition. 

Also, loved Sandra Nelson as Phyllis!

@skebujebu thanks, I look forward to checking it out.

 

 

I agree, I got a copyright strike on YouTube so I'm trying to lay low on there right now. I have some stuff I want to share with you guys. @ChickenNuggetz92 has created a wonderful Y&R fault to upload things, but I don't know if he is also a fan of B&B.  

I can set up a B&B vault too!  I do like me some pre-Liam B&B.

Disclaimer: all my suggestions are controversial and borderline on the world of fan fiction LOL but here we go.

GH: Michael and Chase. Chad Duell just oozes on-screen chemistry and sexual tension with Josh Swickard and just gives the Michael character an entire personality that just doesn't exist with his female partners (though I blame more of that on the writing). If GH has the balls to do this instead of this farce of a quadrangle happening, I'd be totally onboard.

BB: I'll get a ton of flack of this but I was always curious about a Ridge and Amber pairing. It's the classic fine line between love and hate and since these two characters spent most of their time hating each other, it would be interesting to see how that would go about. Ronn Moss and Adrienne Frantz had some good scenes when Ridge was kidnapped by Morgan.

YR: Kyle and Theo. Oh man, the pent up tension and animosity between these two characters would have made a whole lot of sense if they had a little fling back in New York, but so far it's just all talk and mentions of "whatever happened in NY". I would find it interesting to see how it would be retconned into the current storyline if Josh Griffith has the creative capacity to go there (doubtful). Two cousins would have been hooking up before they knew, though that hasn't really stopped GL from doing it lmao.

Oh I agree! Jack Smith was the beginning of the end. I hated his tenure (but I was still watching)

 

 

 

 

I'd love to hear some examples!

I have a feeling the Victor sperm saga between Diane, Nikki, and Ashley might be right up there with Kay's infamous storylines, but I personally found it very entertaining LOL.

I have to say after watching this episode, I really don't miss the LML/MAB era, but production values were still very Y&R-ish. Watching this reminded me of the mess they made of the Sharon character around this time. Additionally, Miller's acting as Billy vs Jason/Drew on GH is night and day.

I remember liking MAB...until the whole town at the garbage dump thing + two doppelgangers running around at the same time. Even if I liked one of the doppelganger better than the other.

 

At least she attempted to get Billy and Mac back together. 

 

But ugh at seeing later years Phyllis today versus yesterday's much better Phyllis.

Pre-Nick vs. Post-Nick Phyllis basically. 

Whatever beef they had seems to have been hashed out a while back.

Totally agree. The themed weeks idea is great!

 

Im surprised to see alot of grumblings on facebook. Considering CBS's stingeyness, so longs as its 2005 go backwards, I'm set.

Likely a just a bunch of disgruntled Brenda Dickson fans, but hey, everyone’s allowed to have opinions.

Just now, yrfan1983 said:

Very cool comparison, thank you!! I wonder why they had to change the cue? I think the 1990 one is more effective. Especially comparing the kiss at 1:25 to the kiss at 3:15... the music at 1:25 is much more haunting and disturbing... underscoring the fact that Adrian is violating Cassandra with this kiss and she is powerless to stop it...

One could be because of audio fidelity (old tape cues will need to be digitized, or if the sound sounds too low quality it won't be good enough for broadcast, etc.) but also most likely because so many things needed to get chopped from the episode, you would hear the existing cues get chopped as well. Additionally, the commercial breaks are at different points in the episode than originally aired so keeping the cues would mean you would hear the cue from the previous scene bleed in as it fades from black.

I noticed this with the 2004 episode as well.

Click here for the rebroadcast of the episode dated 1990-03-01! Not posting to YouTube to avoid getting a Copyright Strike. This copy is from the cloud vault I just created.

This is super awesome, thank you!!! I can definitely contribute maybe this weekend. It's hard to know where to upload my stuff like there, YouTube, Facebook, archive.org... this is great to have as another backup that's just for us.

 

Thanks so much for uploading the first 2004 episode (as I can now confirm it is preempted here... SIGH). I hate to ask but have you managed to get either the 1996 or 1990 episodes? March 1, 1990 is on Global's website and the 1996 episode doesn't seem to be on either CBS or Global's websites? Super frustrating.

Other than the low quality 1996 one that has been circulating, I'm SOL. Had I known that it would have disappeared (probably because of copyright or something, I would have screen recorded my PVR recording right away. I'm working on getting the 1990-03-01 episode uploaded soon!

Awesome! I saw your post about this in the Classic Y&R FB group and (haphazardly) uploaded a few episodes, but I can't seem to access the page anymore. I'll try again via the link here. Hopefully it works!

I'm curious to see. I still wanna watch it even with having the original version! 

Here it is! I had a feeling the music cue was changed because the 2020 rebroadcast uses a cue not used until 1994!

Hey friends! With the rise of Sony adding algorithms to episodes about to re-air being copyrighted on YouTube (even under uploading them as unlisted), I wanted to create a backup plan. Per my Twitter handle, I decided to create a cloud-based Y&R Vault!

I got it! What I mainly wanted to see if some music redubbing was done and as it turns out, I was right! Will post later.
