Thank you so much Amari! And welcome! 2000-2001 was my favorite era. I would love to see more episodes. It was when I started watching and in retrospect I feel like they had perfected their style by then. Then Bill Bell passed away, and everything slowly went to shambles....

Thanks for sharing @AMARIB91! 

 

Would you guys be interested in my sharing the yearly summaries I saved off of the defunct www.youngandtherestless.com site? I know there was a lot of inaccuracy on them (like saying Victor came to in 1979) and some broad generalizations but at least they gave you an general idea of the main storylines for that year and even touched on minor details like Andy Richards' ex wife Karen.

Were those the same summaries from the SONY site? haha I use to read those all the time, and yes for a while it seemed like they got the years mixed up, or at least the 70's info.....they seemed to be off by one year as I think they said Katherine haunting Suzanne was 1978, when it was really 79, and yes them saying Victor came on that same year.

I remember all I wanted to do was just see all those episodes, and I'm glad so many have surfaced! haha.

but yes that would be fun to see!

Haha very funny. 1980s Y&R is impossible to find. Sony/CBS needs to dig into the vaults any maybe release some DVDs or a streaming channel. Then again, I don't think they want the viewers watching reruns and missing the current episodes.

I still don't get how ATWT and GL have all these amazing quality late 70's/early 80's clips and nothing from Y&R.....I know those clips would be taken down instantly, but I wish people who have those episodes would at least try....but I agree I would love DVD quality of those old shows!

I think those ATWT/GL clips are all but legally posted because of the licensing involved with releasing them on DVD a few years ago. Those come from the master tapes. Because Sony, for whatever reason, thinks no one will ever want to watch old episodes of Y&R, we have absolutely no access to the masters (rare exception would be the recent rerun on 12/30).

Last year I bought the DVD collection of the Carol Burnett Show " The Lost Episodes" 1967-1972. In the book with the set, Carol talked about how the shows were in CBS storage and never reran due to legal issues, how they had to get stuff worked out, and the process of preparing them for release. They show a pics of Carol standing in the CBS TV archives surrounded by those huge reel tapes and the boxes look all worn and tattered, stacked on shelves etc....I kept thinking probably in that same room somewhere is the 1970's and 80's episodes of Y&R collecting dust and rotting away.

I believe the website was indeed SONY haha as I also saved at one point all the Restless Style covers from that site. I remember finding the site in 2007  just thanks to a random advertisement on Y&R along with visit "youngandtherestless.com" and I was huh that's new.  Prior to that all CBS soap online ads always referred to the specific CBS Daytime Page and not an individual soap page like that. But compared to P&G's attempts to give GL and ATWT official webpages and "official" discussion boards in the early '00's the Y&R site did feel lot more authoritative as opposed to the P&G sites catering and caving into fan bases.

      What I wouldn't give to have any of Jordan's run as Tim surface.  I wish there was more of early '81 online. It would be fascinating to see Alan/Rita play out. I guess I'm too set in my ways...I'd be horrified at a Van/Alan marriage. Not that it wouldn't have been great to see more of Chris Bernau with Maeve.

      This leads to one of my favorite scenes ever...I won't spoil it but it is a very clever meta moment unmasking Brent to the cops...(it may have happened.) Also you already saw one of my favorite lines..."You, you think I'm a LESBIAN???" even crazy Brent is shocked that Lucy is that dumb, and only crazy Brent would be pissed at being mistaken for gay instead of being a psychotic rapist /killer.   Hate that scene, made both adult women look like morons. Amanda is way too subtle for that, I could see her egging emotional Blake into doing that and making a fool of herself in front of everyone. The whole story would have been more fun if Amanda was manipulating Blake to look like the Blake of old.   One of McLaiby's biggest mistakes is what they do to Bridget, who grew up since having Peter and loosing Maureen and running a business.I remember Liabson saying in the press..."The Bridget we know is back" but that was over, and being more adult does not mean you have to be boring..she was even less feisty here, she just looks pathetic.    This story is so gross... and too bad too, cause Griffin is sexy as hell. I can see Viv getting steamed on him but....   There is a spectrum of sexuality that some people can go in and out of, depending on special people they may find attractive...and we can leave it at that. I never trust the long distance girlfriend boyfriend but I hope he is happy and settled. I would have HATED the Abby storyline. He raped and killed too many people to be "reformed," and to have anyone in SF accept him or trust him after that would make them look like morons.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      Eva convinced Nicole to have the party -- due to Leslie/Dana's insistence that there be a party when they do their planned dramatic reveal. They haven't specified which anniversary it is for Ted and Nicole. How many years have they been married?  It's not 10, 20, 25, 30 or some specific number that you'd celebrate. Kat pointed out that there was no plan for a party until Eva instigated it, which indicates to me that it's some odd number of years.

      Why is Billy such a wet rag in every scene he's in? Isn't he the same man responsible for the disastrous Chancellor Remodel back in 2016?

      Part of me feels both Jacob and Naomi might show up at some point today. As "late arrivals", etc.

      MVJ seems to be cognizant that Leslie and Eva are true breakouts for this show:

      Yesterdays episode was a great lead in the fireworks for today.  It is a shame that Naomi and Jacob are not there and Nicole's best friend Vanessa and Doug.I am interested to see the fallout from this.  I do think that Eva is Ted and Nicole's daughter.

      2025: The Directors and Writers Thread

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      Okay, I hear ya. But, you know Josh Griffith on one Thursday night fired 7 or 8 writers in one fell swoop! That totally blew my mind. But, I still think this is bunk. And, no, the show is not that bad! Literally, my only problem with it, as a fan, is that I think it could be great & it's just not. It's good, not great. They still are not on top of pacing. They routinely take too long to tell stories. But, one example, the scenes this week with Lulu & Laura were like old time soap come home!
