I have mixed feelings. I think it's great to be getting this, because I truly never thought P&G would get off their asses and do anything with their library. And at $20 for 20 (16?) full eppys, it's reasonably priced. I mean, I know you can catch all those weddings on youtube, but there ain't nothing like a full on screen to see Kim's awesome doily headgear. (Not to mention the Carjacker in me LOVES getting a permanent copy of the Montana wedding.) "Hello, Barbara" and what I assume is John humiliating Lisa are priceless.

What I'm a little less thrilled about is the thought of only getting more boxed sets of random episodes.

That's a little unfair to imply that every episode is available. I know that was just a little blurb from WLS and it means no harm, but fans who don't know better will be shocked to realize most of the '50s and '60s and '70s are gone.

I'd definitely pay to see ATWT and GL streaming from 1979 and into the '80s. It would be fascinating to get to see the day to day of Marland's GL, and to see all the changes ATWT went through in those years. I would enjoy seeing Ellen Stewart getting her moment in the sun.

I guess I understand starting off with a "best of" collection, even if some of the choices really leave me scratching my head (*eyeroll* to Luke's coming out and the boring and useless Snyder Family Xmas from '09. It's not a complete Snyder Xmas, it's Holden and TheLastLily's brood...) they want to appeal to the broadest possible cross section of fans.

And "Divas on a Bus"??? WTF??? It's a travesty. TRAVESTY.

I guess I just don't trust the producers to stick with it.

Maybe they put a couple newer episodes in the set on purpose so people who only became familiar with ATWT later would not be completely confused. The price is low enough for me to get it. The streaming issue, it really depends on what they decide to post. I have little interest to see anything recent.

    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
    • So Doug just leaves Vanessa there with Joey? He's a f*cking loser. Vanessa needs to divorce his arse 
    • Tina Sloan tied Jerry VerDorn record when Guiding Light was cancelled - 26 years uninterrupted 
    • Very true...but TPTB all were desperate to get into prime time or films and couldn't, so they looked down on their own industry and tried to infuse themes that just didn't work in soaps. I would have thought after 9/11 the shows would have gone out of their way to provide that warmth and comfort that the audience wanted, and to bring old viewers back. Budget cuts? Just bring back kitchen sets, both ATWT and GL got rid of those besides one each..(the Snyders and the Bauers) You don't need super fancy sets if you have the writing. 
    • LMAO they didn't
