I disagree. This would not click with the broad audience at all. IMO, the earliest they could is the mid 1980s with the likes of Lauren, the Abbotts, Victor & Nikki and Cricket. Everything else is GONE.

All awesome choices!

Im hopeful that they choose the Octopus episode... it’s hilarious!

These episodes were Rebroadcast on German TV twice. These recordings are from the late 1990s/very early 2000s. A couple of years later yet another small cable channel showed them again. But each time they stopped around the episode 1200 mark or some more on Austrian TV B&B didn’t debut until 1996 or so and therefore there are also quite a lot of recordings floating around (Austrians get most German channels, so B&B wasn’t “new” to them but more so soap classics - plus it aired in a much better time slot...).

Uploads are now up to episode #1050. I'm very curious to see whether he/she will stop with episode 1200 because it is when the German rebroadcasts stopped (where these vids were taken).

The uploader seems to be on a roll. That’s a ton of stuff! i checked the Dutch site today, BtW. They have uploaded up to episode 679 by now and already placed a blank for Season 4... meaning it is highly likely that we will get at least the first 1000 episodes in crystal clear high definition picture quality. 🙂

I think, I have everything sorted out by now (I just cut them into episodic pieces this afternoon): These are # 1465 - 1476 which aired from January 26 to February 10, 1993 on CBS. # 1468 - 1993-01-29 - is incomplete, ca. 50% # 1476 - 1993-02-10 - is incomplete as well but only missing 2 minutes at the end But before I forget to menion it: THANK YOU AGAIN - it's a treat to see those episodes. EDIT: one crucial episode is still missing - the pre-vial switch - # 1464 - B&B 1993-01-25

Couldn't see it. maybe it is not blocked but was taken down due to rights issues? The upload is from 2009 - YouTube's policies have changed a dozen times since then

That’s a ton of YR goodness. Thanks!!!

Are you sure? It says 4 seasons but is noW hidden behin the log-in page!? last I checked they were still uploading season 3. maybe they just moved ahead and reconfigured their website...

What a sudden and abrupt recast! Clayton Norcross was seen in #618 and the story of Rige's shooting was on the brink of being revisited and hitting its climax. It's like the worst possible moment to recast... Speaking of botched up last-minute-changes: #616 was all over the place. Not just by continuity standards: it was already EVENING/NIGHT for several episodes and suddenly it is bright DAYLIGHT and Sally (yet another fabulous apparance of Darlene CoOnley BTW!) & crew visit the QUEEN MARY. Problem: it is still the same night as Brooke&Thorne continue their conversation from #615. Thorne then goes to a bar in the middle of the day (??? it still seems to be at night ???) to have his first encounter with Macy while Stephanie and Ridge chat by the Forrester swimming pool in bright daylight. Also: suddenly a mysterious woman is seen for the first time as a dictor takes off the bandages of his patient which probably would not be done at 11 pm. It's like they have hastily thrown in the beginning of the Angela story as a last minute rewrite as well.

Right! It was like the Donna story but a tad more entertaining. And then, kaboof, dropped again.

Not sure whether Bill Bell had any actual plan for Margo/Storm or if he always wanted Mick Savage to enter the scene for Kristen. Margo's love life from 1989-1990 is sure a mixed bag and even in re-watching not everything is adding up perfectly. I feel really sorry for Bill who is definitely one of the many male characters on this show to never get enough storyline material that he deserved. He is mostly a prop to Margo and sounding board to Caroline. What a shame: they shoudl done more with BIll&Stephanie... If anyone is interested: this is the wedding chapel in #609 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayfarers_Chapel

The price is pretty cool. Might be just one series, but a lot of content at the same time.

Wow - that was unexpected. All the taping material. Yet, they do not stream any classic Y&R???

Sooo cool! Looking forward to watch all those shows.

Grant and Taylor's friendship was acknowledge a lot until he entered Macy's orbit. And I assume Tylo's exit for Melrose Place killed any plans for Grant&Taylor. Grant had a fling with Michael instead and was soon romancing Brooke with frequent Country Music Club visits..

Yay!!! More of 1993 - the paternity test is coming closer... PS: you've got a PM!

I think Susan Flannery just had her summer vacation and to explain her absence amidst all the Forrester related drama, the writers came up with eh family emergency. I think many years later during the same time of the year, they had a similar cop-out for Stephanie to go MIA for ca. 3 weeks. Mark's health scare was indeed a much bigger event than I remembered, probably because the climax was resolved within one episode. Still, it was a great plot with interesting dynamics for Bill/Margo/Clarke/Kristen. One thing that just will not change for me: Mick is just sooo unnecessary of a character - cannot stand him.

Ridge said Grandma and in the same sentence Aunt Lorraine - so I’d take it that this was a reference to Stephanie‘s sister. But it’s not the only option to read this remark.

As we are getting closer to a) Jeff Trachta's arrival b) Queen Mary Fashion Show c) plus an OTT returnof an actress in AmySIlence's uploads in Episode #601 we were treated to the first out of out maybe two (?) mentions that Stephanie has living family relatives prior to the 2006 arrival of Betty White & Alley Mills. Interestingly enough, Stephanie's sister was refereed to as Lorraine in this episode and her mom had no first name, yet.

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

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. @slick jones Thanks as always! Really bizarre that the actor recived credit with a full character name, yet Caroline never adressed him by it. LOL

For some reason in episode #573 Caroline consults with a divorce attorney who has a lot of dialogue. Yet, he did not have a name. LOL Any idea who the actor is? Judging by the closing credits a few episodes later, it could be hmi: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0420415/

90s Phyllis was PURE gold. I loved her campiness with Joani and she even made Danny and Cricket interesting and dare I say enjoyable. When Stafford came back in 2000, Kay Alden fleshed her out pretty well. It was a progressed Phyllis who still had some spark, but was no longer suuuuper desperate. Then, ca. 2005 someone decided that THE STAFFORD (c) was the greatest thing ever and her acting tics started to take over the show. That's why Gina Tognoni was such a divine twist of fate, suddenly Phyllis was a likeable character again.
