Many generations of children raised with this show and others starting the afternoon.

On March 26, 1973 I was 21 and I had just given birth to my little baby girl. Later on that afternoon, my nurse came in to change my sheets, and she had asked me if I would mind if she turned on her story. She told me the name of it was the young and the restless, and it was a brand new show that just aired on daytime television. I told her I did not mind, and while she was working in the room I watched the very first half hour episode. The next day it came on and I watched it again… And I’m sure you can figure out the rest LOL. Believe it or not, From that day until this day I have not missed one single episode. My daughter(s) and now my granddaughter watch the show too... I’ve been hooked since day one!

I remember going to my Lola’s house when I was sick and hearing this theme song with the smell of lumpia and chicken adobo in the air. Miss you Lola and my childhood in general.

Whenever I think of soap operas, I constantly ask my self "Is there a person on this planet who have seen ALL the episodes of this"? I believe that there is not. Because these shows are literally larger than life. But can you imagine? ONE person still watching this from day one?

I love that theme song so much. It's such a gorgeous, soothing piece of music. It makes me sad they stopped using the sketches though. It set the show apart from other soaps.

Definitely needs an update to 2023. Faithful watcher here. ✌

I wish that one of the openings selected for this video included Neil, Drucilla, Malcom, Danny, Cricket, Shelia, Lauren, Jill....those were my favorites by in the day. I still love the Abbotts and the Newmans. ❤

Back when I was in the kindergarten I used to watch this with my grandfather and my grandmother before my grandfather passed away with breast cancer.

Suddenly I’m taken back to having a sick day from school At my grandmothers.

I watch this with my grandmother when I was growing up and I still watch it and call my grandmother on Sundays and we discussed what happened............

I am so glad the producers decided to stop using the music of 1999-2003.

Grew up with my mom watching y&r - price is right into y&r as a kid. Not bad if you ask me. Many memories.

The song is so beautiful!

Thank you for the Memories😊 I really enjoyed the openings❤

I remember my mama as kid. She never missed a single episode from the 70s and 80s. Love those times. Soap operas have more essence in their stories. My Dad was also an avid fan of streets of san Francisco, hill street blues and Kojac. When I was a kid I loved the million dollar man, buck rogers and bionic woman and wonder woman. TV was great then even the wonderful world of disney TV series.

Used to skip school to see the cliffhangers and then when I had my own kids, nap time was at 11:00 every day!

I love those 70s and 80s etchings of faces
