I was 11 months when it premiered.

I was -6 months when it premiered LOL

Those B&B promos for the launch of the soap are classic!

I feel young, I was -5 when B&B premiered.

1987

1. General Hospital 8.3
2. The Young And The Restless 8.0
3. One Life To Live 7.2
4. All My Children 7.0
4. Days Of Our Lives 7.0
4. As The World Turns 7.0
7. Guiding Light 6.3
8. The Bold And The Beautiful 5.6
9. Capitol 5.2
10. Another World 5.1
11. Santa Barbara 4.2
12. Loving 3.9
13. Ryan's Hope 2.7
14. Search for Tomorrow 2.5

That is pretty damn good for a new soap (seems to me), especially considering B&B wasn't exactly popping back then.

I remember watching the first episode with my mom...I was 7... and the moment Brooke Logan came rushing home after almost being attacked...my mom said that she looked like trouble... how eerie that my mom was right lol

I wasn't born until 6 years after B&B aired and didn't start watching til 2010 when I was 16. Boy, what a mistake that was. I wish I had gotten into it 6-7 years earlier when I became attached to AMC & DAYS!

Can't go without mentioning the story that got me hooked - POSE! THAT SH!T was GOOD. The best soap story (and reveal) ever. Obsessed.

Can't wait to watch the 7,000th episode. Oh, they brought up boink berry island? LMAO! I LOVED THAT

It's sooo funny going back & reading that thread

They said green screen technology and advancements in computer graphics allowed them to do things they never dreamed of before. I think they got carried away when it came to Berry Boink island...lol

For several years, B&B was not aired in quite a few markets (for example, it wasn't on air in Seattle until 19944 or 1995. I know because I lived there and they did a push when the local affiliate decided to carry the show.) I seem to recall Bell mentioning the even in early 1990s, the show was only cleared in 90% of country.) Maybe someone knows more of the history.

Okay why is it called Berry Boink Island? LOL

Brooke and Thomas were in a plane that crashed and found there way to an island. They ate hallucinegic berries which caused them to go on a magical trip. The show left it open ended whether they had sex while under the influence of the berries. When Stephanie learned of this, she pressured Thomas to lie and say they did have sex and since Brooke couldnt remember, she accepted it as fact

LMFAO!

LMFAO!

LOL...I was reading my original thoughts on it:

Awful, just awful. If this show wants to be next to join the other soaps in cancellationville, Bell is making a great case for it. This mess is Passions worthy

The last 2 episodes are among the dumbest B&B has produced in a long time. The special effects, cheesy music and stupid plot point (psychedellic berries?) are stuff Id expect out of the late Passions, not B&B. This is stupid even by the lowest B&B standards

Thomas and Brooke literally spent the entire episode giggling and feeling up on each other as we watched it through an acid trip. Seriously if they were going to have Brooke sleep with him, they could have done alot better than this

With the ratings dropping as they have, the last thing teh show needs is the top execs at CBS seeing this mess and saying "oh just cancel this crap already"

Damn, my ass went IN on that mess. Sad all my pics/gifs from that thread are gone but I did find this one reallyhateskateonlost put up

Finally getting back into this show after 10 years of hardly watching and not caring to watch.

The past 2 days have hooked me again. (Wednesday and Thursday's episodes. As my CBS station runs it a day behind)

Also. You really shouldn't ever trust any character that JY plays with booze and a gun. LMAO. What did you do there Rick? Did you actually shoot Ridge and Caroline. Or, are you just having an alcohol induced dream? Ha!

I really don't want it to be a fakeout. After dealing with Cartini's GH which has these stupid fakeouts all the time. I want some real action for once.
