Members jacks Posted April 18, 2009 Members Share Posted April 18, 2009 I just went on youtbe and noticed that they now have full length episodes of AW, GL, ATWT and YR. Its interesting to see how much more in commercial ad time they have added to the soaps over the years because the AW episodes run about 42-43 minutes (in 1991) whereas GL now typically has about 36 min. per episode, down to the bone almost. Since the CBS soap are already streamed online, will you turn to youtube to watch older episodes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted April 18, 2009 Members Share Posted April 18, 2009 Cool to hear.... I wonder since GL is going off the air in a few months, will we get some older stuff on the GL playlist? One can only hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted April 18, 2009 Members Share Posted April 18, 2009 I don't get it...there have been lots and lots and lots of soap episodes on YouTube for at years. Is this a new legal thing on YouTube or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted April 18, 2009 Members Share Posted April 18, 2009 Yes, this is a legal agreement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted April 18, 2009 Members Share Posted April 18, 2009 Oooooh, okay. Thanks. Can you give me a link, please? The PGP Classic Soaps channel should definitely think about relocating to YouTube. I didn't watch on AOL because their player was wonky, but if they put them on YouTube, I'd no-doubt watch at least on a semi-regular basis.

Members All My Shadows Posted April 18, 2009 Members Share Posted April 18, 2009 Ooooh!! Thanks!!!! Just like AOL's player, Hulu's player is always screwy for me, so to have their AW episodes on YouTube now is perfect. Great job, TeleNext/PGP! LMAO, the ATWT episodes start with Noah's first appearance. Now everyone can truly see how rushed that hideous pairing was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SnCCorinthos4ever Posted April 18, 2009 Members Share Posted April 18, 2009 I put a post up in the music and movies forum about youtube that you all may find interesting. http://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/index.php?showtopic=30155 Basically it says that youtube can now play full length movies and TV shows.

Members bellcurve Posted April 18, 2009 Members Share Posted April 18, 2009 YEEEEES! Now, TeleNext, do right by us and put Edge on YouTube! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted April 18, 2009 Members Share Posted April 18, 2009 Thanks for sharing! Wow, I guess the major studios and networks finally figured out that if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 18, 2009 Members Share Posted April 18, 2009 I hope this doesn't mean they're going to take down the classic clips of GL and ATWT that so many have put on Youtube. That's what the BBC did when they put up a very weak Eastenders channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted April 18, 2009 Administrator Share Posted April 18, 2009 Yay! They're letting international viewers see the channel (for now!). If they keep putting up for more episodes, I am so going to keep track of the Directors and Script Writers for AW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted April 18, 2009 Members Share Posted April 18, 2009 I've very scarcely followed the AW credits, but it seems to me that they don't list their Script Writers. It seems the Script Writers are always listed in the same order, episode after episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted April 18, 2009 Members Share Posted April 18, 2009 Oh my...I never thought about that. I hope they don't think to touch those episodes! When CBS put up Y&R, all of its episodes stayed intact, I think, so we shall see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AllAboutAngst Posted April 18, 2009 Members Share Posted April 18, 2009 I'm hoping the same. I wonder what made them decide to start with June 2007? I hope they don't put up 2008 at all, I'd like to forget that whole damn year of GL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
