That is wonderful news ! I think we will see Brenda Dickson and Julianna McCarthy in their first scenes !

I saw the first episode quite a few times but the 2nd had never been shown again I think !

I thought that was what the link said. But the wording is very confusing.

 

Uh...help...?

See above.

 

But looking at your message...it sounds like I might have read the link right. And I'm VERY EXCITED now.

Yep, it says episodes number one and two, from March of 1973, will be broadcast again this Monday, July 20, 2020.

 

Please record them, people, particularly the second episode. We may never get the chance to see and save this episode again. (The debut ep is already available among collectors.)

Yes, woohoo.

 

 

I'm sure, but I will take what I can get.

 

I dropped cable TV almost a decade ago, and watch all my TV on-line now, through services like Netflix, so I rely on the good people here at SON to record these treasures if they still subscribe to CBS.

This satisfies my wish for a "through the decades" week.

It actually is giving a good cross-section of the fans what they want (there are people who have been clamoring for more recent stuff; to each his own). I knew they would show the Katy Perry one eventually, groan. I would rather see a Katherine episode from the 1970s than the pilot again, but I can't quibble with Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday's picks.

70s, 80s, and 90s next week, yay!

 

I'm still hoping we'll get to see EB's first episode, and EB's first scenes w/ MTS, ED, TL. Why hasn't there been a best of Victor week?

IMO not true but especially around the Carmine story someone at CBS decided to make them a stale couple that has to exist - this killed these characters. Apart from that they still could be highly enjoyable and were before 2014 (?)

I cannot remember whether Jana was on the show a couple of weeks before LML or whether she was brought on particularly by her. Anyway; Jana was ONE of the very last classic Y&R characters which got a backdoor introduction as a waitress and eventually became a proper multidimensional character. Emily OBrian was really good (I loved her accent) - and just hearing her name brings back some good memories. Kevin was as played out as Jana when she was offed.

    • I have this nagging feeling we think of different ones as the best! Care to fulfill my curiosity? Which are you thinking of? 
    • the famous babyswitch. the best babyswitch imo
    • Yes, it has. It was seen in the episodes when Dani broke into the house while Hayley and Bill were on their honeymoon. Dani and a Fairmont Crest security guard were also shown outside the house's entrance. Bill and Hayley were seen in the foyer when they returned. I imagine the set will resurface when there's a need for it.
    • There is some kind of arrangement going on between Justin and Evie, who seems to be caring for Sam. I'm not sure, but she may even be living there with Justin and Phillip. Phillip inviting Evie at least makes a little more sense (if the guest list was limited to women Vanessa liked, it would've only consisted of Trish and Helena. lol)  Maybe it was more common to hang on to performers, back in the day? Instead of immediately kicking them to the curb? Evie hadn't had much to do after Chet was revealed to be her stalker. With Rita, Jackie and Ben gone, there weren't many on the canvas she'd really worked with, other than Ross. They could've pivoted her back to Ross, instead of letting him languish love-less for nearly a year other than goo-goo eyeing Amanda. Nowadays, there might've been a moment written Jordan and Janet, an eye-wink to the audience about them having previously worked together.
    • I 100% agree that Bill and Haley's set would work better as a bedroom. I also think it might have made more sense to give them a penthouse instead of a mansion. Realistically they aren't going to have the room for multiple mansions, even with the larger studios. A more open concept penthouse would've been fine. I also wish more people lived together. The age confusion kinda messes that up but I would at least have Chelsea living with Dani. If Martin were Anita and Vernon's child (as he should be), I'd have these families living together as well. By doing that, the space used for Martin and Smitty's house could be used to build a dining room for the Dupree home and I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to throw a couple bedrooms in as needed.
    • CBS primetime was such a mess in the 1990s. 1990/91 fourth consecutive third place finish. 1991/92 to 1993/94 some signs of life but it didn't last.  1994/95 to 1999/2000 another primetime mess era. 1995 the sale to Westinghouse and Les Moonves arrived. The only bright spots were Touched by an Angel becoming a Top 10 show and Everybody Loves Raymond starting to show growth. CBS primetime would have a comeback in 2000 with the premieres of Survivor and CSI and Everybody Loves Raymond becoming a Top 10 show, and the rest is history.
    •  Thanks! For some reason I had misremembered ER and Chicago Hope going directly head to head but that may have been because of the hype about both shows.    Poor Connie Chung. She seem poised for success and possibly the next Barbara Walters. I don’t recall her co-anchor gig on the CBS Evening News was well received though. She kind of tanked her career moving into more a tabloid journalist role once at ABC and especially once she moved off network TV to CNN and later more infamously on MSNBC.

    • Strangely, it was Phillip who invited Evie to go to the ball with him. She had been taking care of Samantha, so I guess it was a way to thank her for helping Justin after Jackie's death? So she was not invited by Vanessa. Phillip brought her as his plus one. That Evie stayed on the canvas so long is extremely odd, especially since Ben was gone way before her. My theory is Marland was going to bring Rita back, so they wanted Evie to remain in place as her sounding board. When he left and Potter was still EP, that might have still been the plan. Once Kobe came in, that would have been thrown in the dumpster along with a lot of other story plans and characters.
    • Nina and Portia are generally presented as entirely too savvy to not think this ketamine (don't even GET me started on that) nonsense wouldn't immediately blow up in their face. Drew, the ex-navy seal and congressman, wouldn't get a drug test immediately after acting wildly out of character? Portia allowed this to so easily be traced back to her by roping in Brad, a man who can't stand her? Nina didn't think Willow would Stand By Her Man? Girl, PAY ATTENTION! I also find it disturbing how BOTH of them are gaslighting Willow. It feels gross. They should have presented Gio as anything other than a responsible, genial and affable guy if they wanted us to buy any of Dante's ranting about him. You've known this kid since he was a baby and suddenly you're yelling at him like he's the devil incarnate? It was so forced. Every one of them, including Dante, know that they all would have done the same thing in Gio's shoes. Teen gets drunk, friends cover for them. Gio's only 5 years older than him, barely allowed to legally drink himself. How was he to know the kid had alcohol poisoning? Alexa Havins crying every day over keeping a baby secret. Ahh memories. Molly and Kristina are just the worst to their mom and Alexis allows it. Kristina does need to be committed, she's a danger to herself and others. I wish Alexis would just tell her that she knows. I can't wait until Molly finds out about her almost getting Ric and Liz killed. I need her to body slam Kristina. Sasha thinks she knows EVERYTHING. She's always giving advice and painted as right no matter what. And so holier than thou while carrying a married man's baby.
