Brad Eliot was my favorite. True story, my best friend and I started writing our own soap opera when the show started messing with Brad and Leslie. I’m talking hundreds of pages.
@@eporter70 If you don’t mind me asking, do you remember what the soap opera you guys worked on was titled? Who were the core families and main characters? What were the storylines?
Me, too, exactly. My mother watched soaps and I ate lunch while watching Y&R with her. I was hooked. And not just the soap. The theme song. Long live Genoa City, Ms. Chancellor, Laura and Leslie, Jack, Snapper and his handsome brother, forget his name. So many great memories of watching this with my Mom. Got her some Jabot perfume for Christmas that year.
Nostalgia! I watched the CBS Soaps with my grandmother as soon as I was old enough to understand what was going on. Obviously, being born in 1972, I missed a lot of the earlier episodes but will go back to beginning. Here's to turning 50😊, Cheers 🍻
Special shout out to Jeanne Cooper and Brenda Dickson, two wonderful actresses in the early days of Y&R. Their rivalry was one of the best in show business and was such a great storyline for so long. Poor Phillip Chancellor, caught btwn those two!!! Geeessshhh. 2:36
The concept of the Daytime Drama was forever changed when we were introduced to the intriguing residents of Genoa City on the Young and the Restless. Since premiering in March of 1973 it has gone on to win 11 Emmy Awards for Outstanding Daytime Drama and has been the Top Rated Daytime Drama in the United States for more than 30 consecutive years.
So many memories with my mother are tied up with Y&R. I would eat lunch with my mother, and we would watch Y&R together. It was either 12 or 12:30pm weekdays. She adored Jill, Ms. Chancellor, Snapper, and I think the sisters were Laura and Leslie always fighting over the same guy, just as Jill Foster had a major rivalry with Ms. Chancellor because of her husband. I adored the theme song, too, which became known as Nadia's theme because of a gymnast in the' 76 Olympics. Finally, one of my absolute favorite 70s songs, "If" by Bread, became the theme song of one of the characters and was played a lot. Magical, youthful, innocent memories of my youth and my Mom. And yes, Y&R changed the face of daytime soaps. Made it more youthful, sexier and racier!!!
Watched it from 1981 to 1984 occasionally, and then from 1984 full-time with a 20 year break from 2002 to 2021. From 2021 to present I have been watching.
This theme song is one for the legend book, one of the finest themes for TV or movies ever! Barry DeVorzon, hope I got your name right. What a great piano tune!!!❤❤❤❤
70s episodes of The Young and The Restless need to be uploaded or put onto a stream service, this is absolutely beautiful. I seriously want access to the older episodes of Y&R from the very beginning. ❤️🤍🥂
Y&R turns 50 years of soap opera created by the late William and Lee Phillip Bell (parents of Brad Bell - writer of B&B, and Lauralee Bell - played as Cricket). It aired on March 26, 1973.🎉
He did but I was just curious as to whether he appeared in the first year of the young and the restless. Along with both the late Jeanne Cooper and actress Brenda Dickson . I even read that bold and beautiful star Kathrine Kelly long who plays Brooke was once on restless . I hope somebody can post both lang and mcook on the young and the restless it would be kind of cool to see both actors in there pre bold roles
McCook played Lance from 1975 to 1980. In 1999 Katherine Kelly Lang appeared on Y&R as Brooke Logan during a B&B crossover episode. Aside from that she never previously played any other character on Y&R.
I was 8 and watched this religiously with my grandmother in school vacations. It was much more exciting than Days. And I hated General Hospital which it kind of replaced in Australia. 😂
I feel like a show like this would not have done nearly as good before color television… the colors help build the mood and give the characters so much tone. They also keep you glued to the colors and movements. I’m sure the Y & R would have still done amazing and been groundbreaking, I mean how would it not be. But, I think color television may have definitely helped elevate it even more.
They eventually followed up on this amnesia story line and Brad's wife or girlfriend or whoever she was came forward briefly. Their little boy had died. And I think the wife or girlfriend was played by Deirdre Hall.
@@shortlandstreetfan When Deirdre did that brief role on Y&R, she was already well known from the other soap she was on, wasn't she? Because I remember seeing her that day on Y&R and thinking "That lady is a regular on another show." (Was it DOOL?)
The UK Soap's Debut Episodes are so 180% from their US counterparts. Emmerdale (1972-Present) started with a Funeral while coronation street (1960-present) started with an argument with a father/son and mother/son. Eastenders started with a man who had passed out, his apartment smelled, he was a heavy drinker and nobody checked on him for days.
Y & R filmed outside 😮😮😮😮 I remember when Victor saw Nikki in the bar dancing the first time.. and when Victor held hostage in his basement his wife's lover i think???
Tom Hallick (Brad) came back in 2014; as a truck 🚒🚚🚛 driver. Janice Lynde (Leslie); made a brief appearance in both 2018 and 2021. CBS would never bring back Brenda Dickson (Jill). And Deirdre Hall (Barbara) made a famous career of playing Dr. Marlena Evans on NBC (now Peacock channel) Days of our Lives
I wish the show had a budget to so more exterior scenes or more realistic establishing shots and interior sets like UK and international soaps. I get it is filmed in LA but there are parts of the city they can make look like the Midwest. The ultimate homage for the 50th anniversary was to recreate this scene and have someone be dropped off at the Athletic Club Gala for Genoa City's bicentennial.
@@LibbyRalPretty sure it's not Chris Brooks. The blonde is this scene is Snapper's occasional serious/not so serious girlfriend. I think her name was Sally.
thanks. I was taking a guess. A lot of the characters looked alike, especially thinking back 50 years @@57highland was Sally the one who got pregnant and married Pierre?
Hey, is that the music from the classic French movie The Burglars (aka "Le Casse" in original French version) released in 1971 and composed by the legendary Ennio Morricone?
@@tammylewis2408 Oh okay. Thanks. Who is this character btw? I've been watching since the 90's in the summer time when mom would be off from work and I wouldn't be in school either, anyway I'd be playing with toys or eating lunch she never realized I was paying attention to the show...lol.
@@sportsygirl8 His name was Brad Eliot. He was on the first five years of the series... Let's just say he was a "mystery man" with a past he was desperately trying to escape.
@@sportsygirl8 No sweat! He later got embroiled into the Brooks family drama, as well... If you look deep enough, you can find some of that stuff on the InterWebs, but not so much here on YT.
Mrs. Lewis NBC did the exact same thing with two different programs. In the second week of May, NBC cancelled Hunter in The Spring of 1991. Then in the last week of May of 1991 we find out that Hunter is be replaced by the tv series Sisters, this was a good program also ran from 1991 - 1996. So in a way it is not that the network will cancel a long running show in the same month or year, just to place it with another good long running series.
We should've heard Bern Bennett intone, "From Television City in Hollywood, The Young and the Restless, sponsored by (insert sponsor, usually involving hygiene)."
Congrats 🎉 for 50 years, I no longer watch, the writing is so bad and the show is boring, tried to watch during the 50th years show celebrations, but it was to painful to watch,
This totally reminds me of my childhood, and a tearjerker because it does. Can't we just go back. 😭
I was home sick from school the day it premiered. I saw it by coincidence . My mother watched the CBS soaps back then.

Happy 50 Anniversary To The Young and Restless ❤️ love the show always
I recall seeing this show a few times with some relatives they were really into the drama thriller and suspenes episodes .
70s episodes of The Young and The Restless need to be uploaded or put onto a stream service, this is absolutely beautiful. I seriously want access to the older episodes of Y&R from the very beginning. ❤️🤍🥂
Me too! I know they used to tape over them but somebody must have them.
Agree ….and the 80’s and early 90’s forget the rest , the show went down hill from then , I lost interest.
Me too!
The 80's-90's were the best. I also want to watch the 70's. I wasn't born until 82, I only remember bits from the 80's-90's.@@acasburn1460

MARCH 26 1973 THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS PREMIERE
Was actor John mcook one of the original actors back in 1973 he is now on the bold and the beautiful .
I think McCook played Lance Prentiss
He did but I was just curious as to whether he appeared in the first year of the young and the restless. Along with both the late Jeanne Cooper and actress Brenda Dickson . I even read that bold and beautiful star Kathrine Kelly long who plays Brooke was once on restless . I hope somebody can post both lang and mcook on the young and the restless it would be kind of cool to see both actors in there pre bold roles

Geez it was just a small rural village back in the day. Reminds me of my old town.
When this was rerun on CBS in 2020, the music heard at the start with the truck was changed…I’ve always wondered why
And now, Genoa City, is a major city.
Another thing was that with Eastenders, Emmerdale and Coronation Street, they never forgot The Families, some of which now span Four Generations.
Today marks the 50th anniversary that Young and the Restless premiered!
Brad Elliot could have been featured in 50 years of the series, do you think I'm right?
@ 3:25 William Grey Espy was the first Snapper Foster before David Hasselhoff.
can u upload the first 2 episodes if so that would be great
Today we got 2 cbs soaps left.
I was 8 and watched this religiously with my grandmother in school vacations. It was much more exciting than Days. And I hated General Hospital which it kind of replaced in Australia. 😂
supposed to be done here in wisconsin

When this show premiereed,
I was BARELY A MONTH OLD.
So on the first episode, the title just obscured the drawings!
Are either of these actors still living? If so would be interesting bringing them back after 5 decades.

Can someone please tell me - when they cut to the next scene, is that Jill? (Brenda Dickson) Thanks!
No, I think that was Chris Brooks - one of the women that Snapper was seeing.

Who's the guy laying on the couch and the woman pacing back and forth?
Dr. William "Snapper" Foster and a somewhat casual lady friend.
Who was this character?
Wow this looks way different & there's no Eric braeden
Wow those hairdos lol
It’s kind of hard to hear. And follow. So basically, he told her to have an abortion but she went back to the father or met a new guy?
😅😊
Congrats 🎉 for 50 years, I no longer watch, the writing is so bad and the show is boring, tried to watch during the 50th years show celebrations, but it was to painful to watch,
They would need to have the Brooks sister back if they want a decent comeback.
Same soundtrack
A man in a suit hitchhiking…wow how normal…just give him a ride no questions…
Ideat. The driver HAD asked questions.
Wow. Abortion started the Young and the Restless.
