I've created a guide for the episodes, with air dates, tape dates, list of preemptions... since the beginning :

"You think Nikki is my daughter?"
"You knew her family?"
"Not personally"

"Just a theory I had..."
"You mean during my drinking period I might have produced a child and not know about it? Oh Allison, I never drank that much."
"There were so many men in your past... You must have forgotten a lot of them"
"Not a single one, Allison dear" 

 

Interesting! That was Katherine dealing with Kevin (Bancroft?)'s parents, who used to go to college with her. I suppose the writers toyed with the idea of revealing that Nikki was Katherine's daughter? Otherwise I don't know why they would suggest it so heavily.


Also interesting that Katherine giving birth to a child during her 'drinking period' was considered an option even in those early years. We all know how that went lol

 

The episode is also about Snapper saying goodbye to his son, Chuck. OMG that was executed so perfectly I was very much into the Snapper/Chuck relationship by the end of the episode - even though Chuck was written as your typical soap 'adult child'. If David Hasselhoff is not busy, I wish they would bring him back and reunite him with Chuck (or maybe that happened when Snapper was recast). Anyway, that's a testament to the quality of the writing of the show.

I'm so offended Victoria Rowell and Tonya Lee Williams had to share an onscreen credit.

 

I don't remember Danny being back long enough to get with Chris and move in with her. He wasn't around very long (and he was new to me at this time and I didn't like him at all).

This is super awesome, thank you!!! I can definitely contribute maybe this weekend. It's hard to know where to upload my stuff like there, YouTube, Facebook, archive.org... this is great to have as another backup that's just for us.

 

Thanks so much for uploading the first 2004 episode (as I can now confirm it is preempted here... SIGH). I hate to ask but have you managed to get either the 1996 or 1990 episodes? March 1, 1990 is on Global's website and the 1996 episode doesn't seem to be on either CBS or Global's websites? Super frustrating.

Great about 1990! I actually still have the 1996 one of my cable's DVR but I can only watch it on TV. Luckily, it wasn't preempted. I know I can make a DVD of it but then the quality will be eh. I am trying to research and figure out how to convert it to a file on my computer.

Thanks @feuxdelamour! I looked up at your list of repeated episodes on CBS and that list looks very accurate minus a week in 2010 when Y&R reaired eps from 2005, 2008, and 2009 again but I can provide those dates for you if you’d like. I know Episode #8279 aired 12/09/2005( or 09/12/2005 depending on your dating system) has aired an additional 4 or 5 times!

Very cool comparison, thank you!! I wonder why they had to change the cue? I think the 1990 one is more effective. Especially comparing the kiss at 1:25 to the kiss at 3:15... the music at 1:25 is much more haunting and disturbing... underscoring the fact that Adrian is violating Cassandra with this kiss and she is powerless to stop it...

One could be because of audio fidelity (old tape cues will need to be digitized, or if the sound sounds too low quality it won't be good enough for broadcast, etc.) but also most likely because so many things needed to get chopped from the episode, you would hear the existing cues get chopped as well. Additionally, the commercial breaks are at different points in the episode than originally aired so keeping the cues would mean you would hear the cue from the previous scene bleed in as it fades from black.

 

I noticed this with the 2004 episode as well.

Alison Bancroft has got to be up there as one of Y&R nastiest antagonists(especially after her later crimes), her back and forth between Katherine about her marriages and sexual relations is epic! Especially when Katherine implies Alison might have only had sex once in her life LMAO! Didn’t she and Earl end up separating?

Yeah that's a big change to me. The first one intrigues because it contradicts what is happening. The scene plays out like two star crossed lovers, but the haunting music makes you realise something isn't right, and the cue during the kiss, really punctuates that. The second scene makes you think they really are two people who want to be together but can't. The tension is gone.

Hey incase yall haven't heard yet along with the classic episodes that are being aired because of this corona virus, i heard the week of may 4 they will be airing an episode from October 31 1981. Apparently it's the first time nikki goes to the ranch with victor so that should be interesting stuff and because it's 1981 lol

Another thing is I wonder who else will be in that episode as well, we might see some Brooks or prentiss gang in this episode or some early Danny romalotti and Andy with the Williams clan or maybe im hoping we see some Vanessa or maybe she was gone by then if anyone know?

Just in case you all didnt see this report

    • I'm hoping that it doesn't happen. If the show keeps putting out good performance and story it will be hard to shut it out. Daphnee, Trisha, Ambyr and Colby are earning nominations without question.
    • Speaking of correcting dates, since you mentioned it above, why don't you go back to your Saturday post and edit it and replace your wording of "DAYS Ruth Buzzi 11-2-83"  with "DAYS Ruth Buzzi 11-1-83" and add a note that the video has the wrong date of 11/2/83 on it, and that the video is actually 11/1/83. 
    • If the show ever chooses to show any flashbacks of major Ted scenes, the Ted/Eva, Ted/Kat, and Ted/Nicole scenes would need to be re-filmed with nuTed. Since there have been hardly any Ted/Martin scenes with the CurrentTed, they have avoided the difficulty of doing recreated flashbacks with nuTed for scenes with Martin.  The only one would be Martin punching Ted after the anniversary reveal (unless there's something in the next few episodes). I agree with other posters that the fact that we barely saw CurrentTed and Martin interact, makes it less impactful to viewers to see Martin's outrage at the reveal. 
    • This makes me think of that famous quote from COOL HAND LUKE,  "What we've got here is failure to communicate." I did not bring up "apparently" to try to get across either truth or validity, but doubt. If I had been sure, I would have said something entirely different. But, I'm not trying to argue, I hear you & I will comply. Besides that, I will endeavor to word things differently. I am never against trying to improve. 
    • That’s been my main issue with his response. It didn’t feel that earned by what came before. Definitely needed to see more of the Richardsons as a full family unit prior to all of this.
    • Bingo! I thought the exact same thing. Martin's anger feels so out of place, because we've hardly seen him interact with his parents. Vernon and him have more of a father/son relationship and we've seen their dynamic more fully play out. While obviously Ted and Marton are father and son, it felt a bit empty because we haven't really seen them bond or truly connect in any scenes.
    • Leslie inferred over 20 years ago, so Eva and Kat are over 20 at least 
    • As it happens, 40 years ago this week, ABC and CBS revealed their 1985-86 fall schedules. NBC revealed theirs the week before. ABC's would end up changing. The original plan for Tuesdays was to have Diff'rent Strokes lead the night, with He's the Mayor at 8:30, followed by Who's the Boss at 9, Growing Pains at 9:30, and Moonlighting at 10. There was some surprise over MacGruder & Loud not getting renewed, but it was considered part of Aaron Spelling's declining influence at the network. Yes, Dynasty was still a hit (for a while longer), but Aaron's shows steadily took up less and less of the schedule. Fall 1984: Seven hours, five of which were new programming (Dynasty, Hotel, Glitter, Matt Houston, T.J. Hooker, The Love Boat, Finder of Lost Loves; MacGruder & Loud aired at midseason, by which time Glitter was gone.). Fall 1985: Five hours, two of which were new programming (Dynasty, Hotel, The Colbys, Hollywood Beat, The Love Boat). Fall 1986: Three-and-a-half hours, a half-hour of which was new programming (Dynasty, Hotel, The Colbys, Life With Lucy). Fall 1987: Two hours, none of which was new programming (Dynasty and Hotel; HeartBeat premiered at midseason). Fall-winter 1988: Two hours, none of which was new programming (Dynasty and HeartBeat). This led to Variety's infamous shady headline in spring 1989: "Aaron's Dynasty Over"
