That's awful. I saved everything but hopefully it will pop up again - on Youtube or on Archive. I don't even know what it would have been - maybe the AMC episodes? Or maybe some of the Capitol or GL. I don't know. I know some people just like to report these channels out of spite. 

And they had content that in some cases I've never seen anywhere else, like the Loving episodes. 

This is why content is so difficult to find. They don't want to make the material available for fans in any way, shape or form.

I am very jealous at how much late 70s GH and OLTL is available while all we have for AMC, full episode wise, is Tom and Erica's wedding and then Tom's birth control blow-up.

Looking at that 1981 episode, I always wonder how fans felt at the time with Liza, Jenny, Greg, and Jesse becoming such big parts of the show in such a short period of time while Phil, Tara, Anne, Estelle, etc. were all being phased out. Obviously it worked out for the best, and the show continued to ride high with new iconic characters, but it had to be a time of adjustment for sure.

Interesting that Bill Bell get's talked about for gambling on revamping Y&R but Agnes did her own restructuring much more seamlessly.

The core characters from the 70's were pretty much dropped.

Phil Tara, Anne, Linc, Kelly, Jeff, etc

But they still had enough around that the balance was good.

I recall reading that the week of 1 hour shows was a nightmare to tape.

Understandable when you think of what was involved. I think it took 9 days for 5 shows.

    • Holly's final big story was the Sebastian mess in late 2004.   Vanessa and Matt were promoted to regulars near the end and were heavily recurring prior to that starting around 2007/2008.
    • Keith has a softer presence, but it would have helped to see him be more aggressive or proactive in protecting them instead of standing around like a mannequin. A man the audience should be hoping and wishing gets back together with his wife. Nicole needs a new husband!
    • She needs to learn to be honest with her husband about her lusty interests because being sex positive only works if you're not cheating on your spouse.

    • Very disappointed in the writers in the way they are screwing with Nicole, Ted,  and Kat to make Leslie remain viable. So many holes everywhere.
    • Somebody brought this up elsewhere which emphasizes why this NuTed appears as such a weakling. Why is Kat doing what HE should be doing? And that's everything he can to rid him and his family of this crazy woman. Kat is doing all kinds of things she shouldn't do but now I understand her more. She can't count on her father to eliminate this woman because he's a wimp. He's been too busy inviting her into his home and serving her drinks and offering her invitations to birthday parties. WIMP!!!!

    • This is (maybe) overly simplistic and nonsoapy, but Doug needs to go to Gamblers Anonymous, to deal with the addictive neurological excitement hits that gambling gives him - and which control his life. Vanessa needs to go to therapy to find ways to remain healthfully lusty and sex-positive, but to stay away from anyone who would demean her.
    • YT keeps commending GL clips to me. I discovered Kathleen Cullen was on in Christmas 1987. Was there any talk of making it permanent  or was this just a special visit? I wish they had made the visit permanent. I liked her chemistry with Grant Aleksander.  
    • I'm not sure it's as unpopular as you think.  I just think the show knew they were in a bind, and needed a proven couple for the viewers to invest in. Trying to reunite Vanessa and Ross had just failed in 87. I don't think Ed and Holly's affair was well received, as Simon and Garrett had a brother/sister chemistry. Enter Billy and Vanessa, who give you history and an out not to try and do a Josh/Reva/Billy triangle, which would've really wrecked the relationship between Josh and Billy. I'd have been ok with trying Vanessa/Ross again, and doing a Vanessa/Ross/Holly/Billy quad for a while. I hated Nadine. HATED. She had to be the most insufferable also-ran before ATWT's Julia Lindsay. This is where I wish I knew Roger's history better.
