Y&R: Old Articles

[ltm1997]

Unfortunately, that tape has already been sold. But GREAT NEWS, I contacted the original seller and he said he has more master/production tapes of Y&R in his archive!! He said he will list them all for me tonight so I will keep you all posted!

[YRfan23]

That’s amazing news! I would love to see what they are! Maybe we will be able to get a hold of a couple.

I'm salivating at the thought! 1973-78 were the show's very best years, IMHO.

I assume that this might become quite pricey - and the issue of conversion in a YouTube-able format is also a problem, huh?

 

Anyhow: I'd be willing to throw in something to sponsor for the purchase of these tapes... 

[ltm1997]

He said that he has 2 episodes from 1978: March 3rd and August 22nd!!!!!!

[YRfan23]

Thats amazing!! Are they for sale ?? 

[ltm1997]

Yep they are! I'll be buying them at the beginning of February and as soon as I get them, I will be sending them away to a company that will transfer them to DVD. Whenever I get the DVDs, I'll let you all know so they can be shared!

--1/21/74 (episode 205, the Fosters discuss their money woes))

--3/24/75 (Bill Foster collapses outside his family's front door)

Any others I might be able to find?

So exciting!! 

Here's a preview of what we might expect to see, courtesy of the weekly recaps on the Daytime Royalty site.

 

WEEK OF FEBRUARY 27 - MARCH 3, 1978
THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS
(12:00pm - 30 minutes - CBS)
Derek crudely told Kay to forget the new salon and their marriage. Greg advised the marriage may not be annulled if it was consummated, even while drunk. Nancy was convinced she was making progress with Karen while Chris was convinced the child wants Chris to be her mother. Lance stayed to comfort Leslie after she walked out during a concert. An agent wanted to promote Lorie’s book.

 

WEEK OF AUGUST 21 - AUGUST 25, 1978
THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS
(12:00pm - 30 minutes - CBS)
Kay didn’t respond to paralysis tests and accused Derek and Brock of staying by her side out of pity. Stuart was distracted by thoughts of Jill. Leslie told Lucas to think of her baby as his. Larry warned Linda to stay away from their children. Casey worried that Nikki hates herself because of her VD.
