Wow!

  The show definitely deserves a special like this! GH had one and I’m glad Y&R will now too.

Thanks!! I’m actually excited to see some rare BTS footage from over the years too like they showed here.

Do they even deserve such a special? Did ATWT or GL get one?

YR has been garbage for a long time.

The last time I truly enjoyed the show was in 1994.

[kalbir]

GL had a primetime special in 1992 for their 40th anniversary on television.

I don't recall ATWT getting a primetime special for any of their big anniversaries.

Noticed your choice of 1994 as Y&R's last good year. I take it you stopped enjoying Y&R after the frat party started.

This is pretty cool - and a pleasant surprise. Considering that primetime ratings are in the toilet on several occasions during the week, it's about time that use this space to promote their daytime line-up/use this rather cheap filler material. IMO; they should give primetime airings of the soaps another try. LIke last year when Sheila shot Steffy and Finn it should have been a primetime event in either a one hour or two hour block.

A different special will be on ET-Canada on Fri. March 17 on Global and STACKTV.
Similar to (but not the same as) the USA's ET special
The Canadian one is hosted by Cheryl Hickey.

ET-Canada presents "Still Young, Still Restless: 50 Years of Y&R"
Friday, March 17 on Global (check local listings) and stream it live and on-demand on STACKTV and the Global TV app.

It looks like that ET-Canada Y&R special will air:

• Friday evening March 17 on Global.
• Again very late Friday night 3/17 (early hours of Sat March 18)
  on Global and on NTV Newfoundland.
• On the SLICE network very early Monday morning March 20 (or late Sunday 3/19).
• And again on Global Monday March 20 in the middle of the day.

Theoretically those dates/times are all the Y&R episode of ET-Canada,
But sometimes TV Listings have errors, so you could record them all and one would hopefully be the correct one.
Or just watch on STACKTV or the Global app.
