I don't know if I'm in the minority (or if my personal nostalgia is making me biased), but I very much find myself enjoying the early 2000 B&B episodes on YouTube. From Macy losing her sobriety, with Becky's cancer, and of course the Morgan storyline I find myself entertained. I'm surprised at how critical some of the comments are from this era.

Side note, the same toxic mouthbreathers have also latched onto making personal attacks to Sarah Buxton/Morgan lmao.

Oh, I absolutely enjoy the 2000 episodes on youtube! S13 is one of my personal favorites. Even though it isn't quite as well crafted as the Bill Bell years, it is clearly one of the best Brad Bell seasons. I am looking forward to the double tearjerker of Becky's and Macy's deaths. And the Morgan storyline, and Ridge being tricked into infidelity by e-mail, is just hilarious!

Did they stop after episode 2119? Can’t find 2120 on YouTube ?

Yes, for now they aren't showing Season 9 (starting with episode 2120).

Episode 3288 is not in the playlist, so there's another potentially missing episode.

Episode 3255 is missing in S13 (again, they made the video private instead of public and this time they don't seem to have realized it in time).

Thank you 1997 Angel!

From Soapcentral:

Apparently they won't air season 9, parts of 10, 11, or 12 because CBS lost the recordings. They are airing season 13, but it's sad that a good chunk of the show is lost.

I wouldn’t give this claim any credibility unless it's confirmed by official sources. I saw a comment on Youtube mentioning something like this but that YT poster is basically a troll.

The one on SC must have seen that comment.

I don't think there is a noticeable difference. I download the mkv 1080 versions.

I uploaded a few samples of the mp4 versions I got from S13 YT using 9xbuddy. If they're okay I can help out and do some more. Some of them are 1080, some of them are 720, because I tried to keep the file size resonable. If they're not as good quality as yours, feel free to delete/replace them!

yeeey

Bold and the Beautiful - 1999 (S13 E64) FULL EPISODE 3198 - has strange glitches at 9-44 point. Haven't checked the full episode. 

By the way, is there any difference between the 720 and 1080 versions on YT? I have been trying to download both in mp4 via 9xbuddy and my untrained eye can't see the difference in quality (only that the 1080 files are much bigger of course).

Good news again - the thumbnails for the upcoming episodes until 3222 are all correct. It does seem like they have actually got it right.

I am so happy! I have been wanting to rewatch these episodes in English for years.

Continued good news! Just checked all the upcoming S13 YT uploads and they are all the correct thumbnails from today (ep 3187) until episode 3207 (which is as far as they show the upcoming episodes).

The only missing episodes of S13 so far are 3151, 3152, 3159, 3165, 3170 and 3172. After that, it seems they have fixed the issue (hopefully!) and the season appears to be complete so far.

Thank you to the Angel for the latest Season 10s! Gratitude for much better picture than what is on YouTube. I've noticed #2471 though has the beginning bit including the opening titles missing. Can that please be replaced if possible? 

Awesome! Thanks Angel!

But the good news is there no longer appear to be missing episodes or random S12 episodes! 

By the way, I wonder if anyone is still doing the Videoland 1997 episodes - it's been a while and maybe they no longer have access or time?

I am just Waiting for YouTube channel to show #2347 and #2349 to see if they have background music or not. Especially I am interested in Jessica's rape episode to be with the music. Videoland episodes did not have the music. Some older episodes from Videoland also did not have the music but I just wasn't paying attention back then.

When I asked Videoland to provide background music to these Two episodes #2347 and #2349 , I got this response:

"We asked the company for a new video with the background sounds. Because it's a realy old video, they can't deliver the music. There is nothing to be done. I consider this case closed."

Somehow I don't see it is very credible. Do you believe this explanation ? I mean they must have several different copies of the episodes.. It is unbelievable that they don't have the background music to these Two episodes. They have uploaded almost whole Grant shooting episodes last Year with no music on YT yet on videoland they do have the music. Rarely, but vice versa, the situation is repeated on videoland , that there is no music over there. Coincidence ? 

That's odd. There is background music in the German episodes 2347 and 2349.

This is done deliberately I am sure now. Someone really wants the project to fail.

 

Actually, I just checked all the new thumbnails in the playlist and episodes 3173-3186 are ALL correct! Maybe someone has been listening after all!

This is now.. too much.

It's a joke and quite frankly it's disrespectful to the viewers.

Also tonight, they are skipping right past 3172, moving from 3171 directly to 3173 with nothing in between.

Thank you!

Just an idea for the guys adding the episodes on youtube - why not just MASH the WHOLE 9000 episodes on a random principle and upload them like that. Sure will get 10 viewers to stay on.

SHAME.

Yeah, the next step is uploading a 2000 hour movie compiled of every episode that ever aired, in random order, with some of the episodes missing and some others duplicated, and with random sound issues and varying video quality.

Episode 3165 on youtube is actually 3115.

Episodes 3166 and 3167 are correct.

3162 is the right episode but it has some minor issues with the sound.

3163 and 3164 are all right.

I believe that if you are going to do something... you have to do it right. I don't believe in half-done things and promising something and not delivering. There have been just a dozen episodes uploaded and now multiple mistakes and missed episodes. And as I see in the playlist... they are going to continue missing and mislabeling, without care. And this makes me wonder... why?

It's interesting how now this is happening as soon as they fixed the quality issue. Now another issue starts. And before that they ruined season 10 with uploading Corrupt files without audio. Is this a coincidence or just them deliberately trying to fail it and make it so people don't watch and there aren't enough views... so the one in charge will tell them to stop uploading. Since the interest is little. Maybe SOMEONE wants this project to fail.

I don't want to think about this... but I HOPE this is not a sabotage. Someone that doesn't want to do their job and is just lazy. 

I don't know.

It's just MADDENING, since I BEGGED couple of friends to start watching this HD playlist and now they are complaining in PM's to me and telling me how annoying it is.

And I'm sure some people will tune out... 

So once again, sloppiness and laziness are ruining an AMAZING effort.

I am grateful for the HD episodes, yes... But I just don't get why they don't do something RIGHT without mistakes. They literally have to check 3 episodes a day, so that the season is not mixed up. It's not that big of a deal.

I feel the same! I think there are a lot of us who would gladly volunteer to double check the playlist for them just so they can GET IT RIGHT (I know I would, well, in fact I already DO, but to no avail).

I was so excited when they started uploading this season in HD, but now the uncertainty of not knowing whether or not the episodes I'm looking forward to seeing the most will actually be there is starting to get to me.

I don't understand why they are doing this. It just seems like such a random error I can't even imagine how it is happening.

Yes they are

That happens a lot. They usually pick up on it in time. Sometimes they don’t appear scheduled and then they do appear when they’re meant to. And sometimes they are skipped when they’ve not automated them. It’s frustrating.

The thing that has me concerned about E3172 is that there is no place for it in the schedule. E3173 is scheduled to premiere immediately after E3171, meaning they appear to have skipped it altogether.

I post a lot in the comments section on YT and the last time I checked, someone there had messaged the people at B&B. And of course everyone is commenting on the mixup when it happens. So hopefully someone will take notice soon. This season is so good and it would be a dream to have it complete.

Here we go again. E3159 is actually E3131.

Thank you for the clarification. 

The people in this topic are so amazing.

Today I was reading @Troppos work all day! Amazing work.

I know, I love this forum! I will be watching S13 on Youtube daily so if there are any more mislabeled episodes I will find them (and hopefully identify them).

Guys, episodes 3153 to 3158 are in order and the right ones, right? Since I will upload them to the vault. If anyone finds they are not... do tell me. Thank you.

Yes, they are all correct!

How do you check that based on a single image from a thumbnail than by watching those entire episodes? Some sort of technology? Thanks

I compare the thumbnails to the German episodes. In these episodes, the characters, locations, clothes, or hair don't match the German episode. (That is, I actually watch ffwd through the German episode in search of the thumbnail and if I don't find it, it has to be from a different episode.)
