As “The Young and the Restless” continues airing classic episodes in place of originals following a production shutdown that began in March due to COVID-19 concerns, fans have been wondering why they hadn’t been able to watch a bulk of the episodes for later viewing on CBS All Access considering several markets have preempted the show for weeks in order to air news conferences by state governors or local officials. That has now changed.

“Good News! All of the ‘Y&R’ Classics that have aired so far are now available on CBS.com and CBS All Access,” the show announced in a post on Twitter yesterday. Initially, a number of classic episodes were not being uploaded to the platform with the exception of episodes aired on Fridays in tandem with the original episodes that ran out on Thursday, April 23.

No subscription is required to watch the classic episodes on CBS All Access with two exceptions. As of this writing, two episodes from season 31 of the series (OAD: July 5, 2004 and July 6, 2004) require a paid subscription. CBS re-aired the episodes on April 28, 2020 and April 29, 2020 as part of the show’s “Katherine the Great” theme week in honor of the late Jeanne Cooper‘s iconic character.

The oldest episode available for viewing is from season eight of the series. In it, Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) visits Newman Ranch for the first time as Victor (Eric Braeden) tests their chemistry with help from Colonel Douglas Austin (Michael Evans). The episode was rebroadcast on Monday, May 4 as part of the show’s “Victor & Nikki: A Lifetime of Love” theme week. The episode originally aired on October 31, 1981.

To watch the classic episodes aired thus far, click here. Note: Next to the Full Episodes tab, click on the drop-down menu which defaults to Season 47. Pick any season prior and you’ll see the episodes sorted by the season in which they originally aired.

Happy Viewing!

    • Maeve breaks me reading that letter. If you ever need to cry, look it up. Other than the dopey line about Henry wanting to come home to Van's rice (or tapioca) pudding (VANESSA CHAMBERLAIN DOES NOT COOK, Y'all...) it's a sweet sign-off to one of the best father/daughter relationships on soaps. Other than Ross, and Bill (if he says something, which I assume he does) and the letter, the rest of it is BS. I haven't watched it in a while, but it typifies what I dislike most about events that should be laden in history. The writers are too lazy to do the work and get it right. And it becomes about making sure characters X, Y and Z make their guarantees. Roger being there is an abomination. Henry never ever saw Nola as a gold-digger. She and Quint were practically engaged before he even knew Quint was his son. Before that, he was fairly close to Bea and enjoyed Nola's spirit. And Henry never helped Rick become an Eagle Scout.  I get that maybe you don't want to play Amanda#1 or Dinahs 1&2, or Billy, Trish or Alan #1 clips, but damn it....don't make stuff up. I'd have much rather watched clips from Henry, Vanessa and Ross' early days than Rick blather on, or nuMichelle try and dig for a human-like emotion or wonder why after TEN YEARS, Dinah and Quint have never met.   Do not remember anyone named Tina. I barely remember Dahlia, and that's mostly because for a while, I saw Sharon Leal in everything after she left GL.   Reva and Josh airhogs? ALWAYS, darling. ALWAYS. RME. I hate to tar and feather Robert Newman with that brush, but DAMN. 
    • Oooooooooooooo a Jazmen script off of a Sara Bibel breakdown.    I'm intrigued. Lol. Yeah, one thing I can say for sure...when SilkPress is about to have a crazy moment, they do give her music. 
    • I am so happy now. Reminds me of the 80s show I loved. Ron really did the cast and fans dirty. The only people complaining are those who only knew Ron and his whiplash plot driven stories 
    • 1985/86 wrapped up during the weeks of May 12-18, 1986 and May 19-25, 1986. Here's how the sophomore slaughterer, sophomore surprise, and the four soaps wrapped up the season.

    • @soapfan770 1995/96 to 1999/2000 were not very good in primetime. CBS and ABC both had primetime mess eras, and that's how NBC got away with their Thursday garbage shows finishing in the Top 10. Remember too that ABC was sold to Disney in 1996.  As for ABC primetime mess era, it started with the Top 10 fallout of Roseanne and ended with the breakout success of Who Wants to be a Millionaire. Monday Night Football and Home Improvement pretty much kept ABC alive in that era.
    • This show is miles better under the new writers. It's really a condemnation of Carlivati, because he had the characters and history to write good soap. Instead, he turned it into a joke and a farce. I've heard some people says DAYS is now "too talky." Miss me with that stupid analysis.
