It triggers memories for everyone of a given time in American past. For me it triggers memories of the 70s and 80s when the America of that time was so different from today, no one born in 1980 or later would really understand or if they went back in time, they'd sear they were in a very different nation because it was. I enjoyed the 90s too. 70s-90s. Seems like yesterday, All in the Family was on or even Charmed or Star Trek Voyager with our first female Captain, Janeway. As an old gay male, I miss a lot of things & this brings back memories. I'm terminally ill now but it brings comfort to hear the theme song. Thanks for putting it up.
I remember my gradeschool years in the mid/late 70s, and our class would watch those life-lessons short films and their introduction theme music had to be influenced by TY&tR theme.
I suppose 5 seasons is a pretty good run. Still, I would have liked to see a continuation of the original Dynasty series with the Carrington/Colby kids - and not a reboot.
Got hooked on YR when I was in High School and would come home and watch after weight lifting in the mornings during the summer. Fun to watch the drama while 'pumped up'!
Wow! Y&R has been on CBS my whole life and I'm 44 now! I remember my mom and grandmother use to watch this back when I was a little boy in the early 80s and my mom still watches it to this day! Can't believe Victor and Nikki are still on the show, they're such legends!
3:12 1999-2003 They were really trying to market themselves to the success of The Bold and the Beautiful, which was hugely popular. Y&R had a reputation for being more of a slow burn that presented itself as a bit “high brow.” The Bold and the Beautiful was more hot, spicy, and fun. B&B was easier for casual viewers to understand and appeared to people just looking for a short escape rather than diving into a novel. B&B reminded me more of the telenovela style and it often embraced how ridiculous it was.
Y&R actually had a live orchestra pit on set in the earlier years, that’s why their scores from the early 70’s were so beautiful and by the time the 80’s came they pretty much-recorded their background scores.
Wow this Theme is Always So Calming to me despite Invoking a Set of Traumatic Memories for me. Which was when o was a Kid and had to make regular visits to my Family Doctor’s Office in some Government Building. Oh yeah I could Remember it like I’ve just been there I could Still Remember walking on to the nearest elevators. And taking it it up to the Fifth Floor and Getting Off and making our ways along a Long and Quite aside from that Dreaded Typewriter and Empty Hallway to the Doctor’s Office. And I would know when we’re getting close as the closer we got the Loader that Dreaded Typewriter Became. And when we entered it wasn’t better and for some reason The Young And The Restless Both Invoked that memory and at the same time Calmness. Like I’ve just said I don’t know how I’ve connected those two. But a little bit of side note I just wished they would stop casting kids that give off that Disney Sitcom Vibe to them. But the Happy News is I’m so Glade that I was able to Watch The Young And The Restless’s 50th Anniversary Special Series of episodes. To which by the way almost Feels like a Completely Deferent Show. In Particular when it came to the Red Carpet Scenes, to which Feels like a series of Entertainment News Segments. Along with the characters that are in the scenes.
They need to update the credits soon, cause I am not feeling it. It's too dark themed. I think it would be good to go back to the late 80s early 90s white theme again, with LOTS of vaseline on the lens because the hi-def cameras they use today are not flattering to anyone. That winter white background was giving everything, and the wind machine just elevated it.
As a kid, I never really cares for the show itself, or at least the storyline; but what I do remember, is the beautiful theme song (including the jazz version, 92 baby here), as well as just how beautiful all of their houses looked. (I SOOOO wanted to live in one of their houses!!)
