Is it just me or does anyone else not understand? Why would Y&R show a whole week of repeats the week prior to the new talk show?? I'm assuming B&B isn't affected since it's not mentioned in the release.

[Scotty]

The way I took it is that Y&R will NOT be airing a week of repeats in their original timeslot, but for a week during ATWT's old timeslot. Basically this press release lists what will be aired in the 2 PM ET time slot between the final episode of ATWT on Sept. 17th and the premiere of 'The Talk' on October 18th.

[Cheap21]

probably better than the current crap on the air, unless its something that was from this year

[OLTL_fan]

This is one confusing press release. Why burn off 10 episodes of The Price Is Right and 5 episodes of Lets Make a Deal in a different timeslot? Sounds silly! Y&R is showing repeats in the 2 Eastern timeslot not in its own timeslot.

So The Talk will premiere at 2 Eastern. Good because people here actually thought CBS would move their shows around and put the show in Y&Rs timeslot.

[Jeff]

Oh good eye Scotty! Thank you. Sorry, I thought it meant in Y&R's normal time slot, I was like huh?! Feel free to delete this thread if ya want, LOL.

[DRW50]

"Emotionally Relevant" - what does that mean??

Why do I get the feeling they are going to repeat horse sh!t like A Chompers Carol?

[lovely_m]

If Y&R is the soap in question regarding the recent blind item, then it could be Clear Springs.

[DRW50]

So they are going to show us that even LML was better than what the show has become...

[Soapsuds]

[!@#$%^&*] You CBS!! I hope your new shows crash and burn!!

[bellcurve]

People are going to assume those are reruns, by default. Those episodes aren't gonna register sh!t with Nielsen. Unless they are trying to test how well TPIR, Deal and Y&R do in that timeslot in the event that the network wants to shift the show around. But why burn off originals in that timeslot. Makes no sense to me.

[JimTolkien]

This just made me giggle!!

[bellcurve]

Lethal on her worst day is better than these clowns.

Someone just bring Megan McTavish back from the dead to write Y&R. At least she's good at misogyny and disgusting, virulent storytelling.

[Soapsuds]

[Chris B]

I wonder how old the episodes will be. With the endless recasts (shocking to say that for Y&R!) an old episode will be odd to many newer fans. They'll wonder where all the AMC/GL/ATWT refugees are.

[Scotty]

Oh, you're welcome.

I could see where someone would get confused after reading that press release...I had to read it two or three times myself to make sure I had it straight.
