That was the first thing that came to mind, especially after reading a spoiler about

And in the past few weeks I’ve gotten very selective with what I will watch on the DVR even more so than usual, especially with having to FF through the recent Newman family dreck.

Watching(skimming) through todays ep I am puzzled by some of the staging.

Billy is in the park and Chelsea appears. Then they are chatting at CL. 

Why not have Chelsea simply appear at CL while Billy is there?

Nick/Victoria confront Victor at his office. He then leaves with Nate. Nate and Victor then chat in the park. Seems an odd choice. Why not have Victor stay in the office-seems more appropriate. Nick/Victoria could go to the park or appear at CL -Billy/Chelsea have already adjourned to bed.

Nick/Victoria talk to Adam at the GCAC lobby area and then chat at GCAC.

Meanwhile Mariah and Cole chat at Society. Their convo goes on throughout the ep while other characters have moved on to new locales. Must have been a very long catchup for Mariah/Kyle. Billy appears -he's already had chats with Chelsea at the park/at CL and a sex romp upstairs.

It seems like a lot of these scenes may be taped on different days. The scene is written and then takes place at whatever set is available that day.

Otherwise the choice of sets seems weird.

I watched. Lots of Danny and Nina flashbacks with Cricket. Some with Phyliss and one with Michael and a few with Paul. 

Doug Davidson screwed up! He could've been a part of it in person.

First full episode of YR I've seen in a while. 

Funny Esther was in it serving coffee at crimson lights wearing the same outfit she had on BB and Lauren the same and no mention of LA instead Lauren said she had been with Michael and Gloria.

The furthest back was Nina and Cricket from 1988 after Chance was home from the hospital. There were some clips of Danny and Cricket around 1990, but then basically nothing until the 2000s. There were two clips from the other day...

 

I missed that Esther was wearing the same outfit from LA, LOL! That moment should have been an opportunity to show a Cricket/Kay clip.

 

I truly don't know what LLB thought was in this episode that made it different. It was a typical Y&R episode of characters wandering through the park, coffeehouse, and jazz club, plus old clips (thankfully in color). Same format we've been seeing where they run into someone or talk about someone and then show clips of that person. I still think Nikki's episode was by far the best, because it was her alone reflecting, not this formula. You would think Cricket would have reflected on her first day as a lawyer, or the cases she did, her mom dying of AIDS, being raped or sexually harassed, but it was more about setting up a new contrived triangle with Phyllis and Danny.

There was a lot missing. Cricket had so many interactions with many in GC. I guess they didn't want to pay any more quarter residuals to former cast members.

Somehow, Paul will probably turn his appearance on the show into a Twitter rant.  

I didn't think the episode was anything very spectacular or unique.  But I did enjoy the final scene.  Nothing too dramatic, rushed, or "climactic", just two folks who've know each other for 40 years chilling in a way they've often done in the past.

    • That was the original point of me sending you her 6 airdates, so now with those, and the link to the daily episode guide I've provided, that should help you more easily find the additional Ruth Buzzi scenes. I will always repeat myself when it comes to defending my data that I've taken decades to research and compile. But, as you pointed out in a recent post, I am kind, so at least I will do it with you in a kind way as opposed to the usual social media way most people do with just getting rude/nasty. That's not my style, as you correctly pointed out earlier this week, and never will be.  So, all is well!

    • Ambyr Michelle continues to be *that girl.* She’s just a star, period. Elevates every scene she’s in on the sheer strength of her emotional realism and charisma. Can sell any dialogue. I wish the show veered away from the B&B-style scripting. TMG/Leslie’s tirade stood out, I suppose, but she’s getting a bit mustache-twirly. And I wish DD had more to do in that episode than stand and sob.
    • Well, that was down to CBS being weak and not being willing to just pulling the plug entirely. They didn't want to commit to cancelling the show in case they needed it for their schedule basically; plus they kept showing that they were willing to make cuts if needed to be. 
    • I'm sorry but clearly what I've said is not satisfactory to you. I have now read what you have to say, twice. As it happens, my interest at this point is looking at other mislabeled files to find this other Ruth Buzzi content. I do not see any point to each of us repeating ourselves, so I will leave it here. 
    • It seemed to be your intent. coming into a thread I started and making multiple posts saying my data was wrong. In the next paragraph you say "Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why." That certainly didn't stop you from immediately saying the data was wrong, until I provided additional receipts. Why did you not check the daily episode guide (for instance, this one for the 1980's) I posted for the world to see for exactly this reason...to help confirm airdates: http://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/days-daily-summaries-1980-1989-t15361.html? That is what you should be checking BEFORE you make any posts in the future like this, trying to suggest something from my data is incorrect. You could have also messaged me and asked me why your dates weren't adding up with what the correct data is. I would have fast forwarded through that video you posted, spotted Roman and Hope and immediately have told you that was the 11/1/83 episode.
    • Jason, just let me say that it was not my intent to any way impugn any of your data  or research. I'm very sorry if it came out that way. Obviously the person I got these 4 November episodes from has mislabeled files, multiples, which I was certainly unaware of.  When I am editing it is all about what I see & hear. Later, I find time for greater reflection.  Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why.  If you find you are no longer interested in the edit, that is fine. I have no ego in this. I did it only to share it.
    • I feel like Vernon and Anita need to not be hypocrites and try and take the heat off Bill in this case. It's clear that the family used him as a fixer and especially knowing he helped with Martin's situation, they need to either be quiet or support him. BTW...with Vanessa being in the hospital for food poisoning, am I the only one who thought Shanice was gonna say she's pregnant or had an STD? The only reason I say STD is because she hasn't had any memorable sex partners, but I definitely don't believe she just had food poisoning.
    • Yeah, I mean I know that the name still pertains. I just laugh at it not now being called Arizona Dust, but, I admit it simply does not have the same ring to it. Above, that is interesting that Arizona had already come up before the crisis. 
    • Anita vs. Leslie, bring it!
    • Leslie and her family are from Chicago? Anita's background also includes being a former Chi-Town native? Might they connect this and go somewhere with it?
