If I remember correctly, the show wasn't that interesting. It focused a lot on the Brenda Dickson drama and how Bell came up with the premise of the show and the production elements that made Y&R stand out.

I would like to see more also-just to see how many other mistakes/innacuracies there are!

Jamie Lyn Bauer as Jennifer Brooks!!

Who did the research for this show??

Not only did it get this completely wrong,it also intimated that Bauer had played Laura on Days previous to Y&R.

Then,we get Bond Gideon mentioned as Dickson's replacement-true-but she only lasted a few months before Debora Adair came in and made the role her own.

Of course Brenda Dickson is on screen-that woman would do anything to get on camera-stating that when she returned,Jill was no longer the innocent she had been.

Did she forget Jill's marriage to Stuart and all the conniving regarding Derek/Kay??Obviously the surgery has affected her memory!!

The narrator also states that the cast was rounded out with daytime vets-not true-only Robert Clary had been on a soap before.

Did Bill Bell really want the show cancelled after a year? I thin he would have known from experience that shows need time to build.

Also,it made out that Jeanne Cooper's arrival was the reason for the ratings boost.That was part of it,but also Lorie Brooks arrival and the stories bulding momentum were responsible.

I could go on-but it shows what a cheapjack operation E! is and what little respect there is for daytime.

They were ulta-hot together: Dickson playing beyond camp a vamp deluxe together with the sinister Mr. Lester. Fabulous.

Unbelievable that their successors make an equally hot twosome. How I miss those days. Jack and Jill's flirtatious arguments at Jabot. Arrrr!

Memo to MAB: Jill, a story, not about Gloria, stat!

Brenda cried her eyes out.......when it aired Bill Bell called Brenda and asked her why she didn't cry.........Brenda told Bill she did cry and that the West Coast producers edited out her tears/crying.

Phil Morris had a breakdown on set.....then Bill Bell ended the storyline.
