As far as I know, there haven't been any official releases of the show on DVD. TVShowsonDVD.com doesn't list any, either.

I've never seen it (except for a very short clip of Rodney Harrington walking in on his father making out with Betty's mother, Julie), but I've seen the movie, and it's one of my all-time favorites no doubt. There are some major differences between the two (mainly characters' relationships and the fact that the movie/novel were set during the WWII era while the TV show was set in the 1960s).

It's a damn shame that no channel's aired this show regularly in at least ten years. This show, which was a phenomenon and made over 500 episodes, deserves to be somewhere more than a lot of the [!@#$%^&*] that's constantly being rerun all over the place.

The Romance Network is the one that changed into WE: Women's Entertainment, I think. I used to have WE and *loved* it because they would constantly show those "Dynasty"/"Dallas"-esque mini-series from the 80s like "Hollywood Wives," "Bare Essence," and "Sins." I once spent an entire Saturday afternoon (from noon to six, I think) watching all of "Hollywood Wives." Loved every second of it.

^^^^^Ridiculously off topic, but I haven't gushed about my HW love in a while, so yeah lol

Try sell.com for a cheap version, but same product. I have the series and it is absolutely riveting. The Allison Mackenzie arc during the first two years is almost flawless. Mia Farrow was insanely brilliant in the role. Dorthy Malone is kinda strange to me as Allison's mother Constance. She's an Oscar winner, but very phony and wears the most bizarre wigs. Lee Grant and Ruth Warrick are two to really look out for on this show. I was floored by these two the moment they arrived in Peyton Place.

    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too. 
    • Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?
    • Search YT for Edwyn Sanchez, he posted an AI enhanced episode of ATWT and it is beautiful.   
    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
    • I need to listen! Forever & a Day was a fun soapy podcast to have available when I walked the dog.
    • A few years ago, Devon and Nick started a charity organization together, I think it's for housing in the community.
