*4/30/19 update: CBS has renewed The Bold and the Beautiful TV show for the 2019-20 season.
I have been watching Y & R since 1978 and was thrilled when B&B started in 1987. The only reseaon the ratings are down is that women had to go to work outside of the home. I am disabled so I have the pleasure of viewing every day. Please renew the Bold and the Beautiful. Most of the time it is even better than Y & R!
I do not see the Young and Restless or the Bold and Beautiful showing up for next week in my dish guide. This needs to be addressed. Please do not cancel either of those shows.
I really wish they would stop being incestuous and immoral about life. I love the way they bring out true struggles but I’m getting tired of the bed hopping . Can at least 1 couple last more than a year on this show? I only watch it bc they took the good ones off! Dumb move , thanks alot Oprah for introducing Dr Phil and Dr. Zero. Smh bring back my guiding light and especially as the world turns!!! Outdated! Also it’s getting old having to cram two hours of subject into a half hour! It would be more interesting… Read more »
Please let it stay on I love the show so much and it’s getting better and better I am disabled and tv is my life so please let it on thank you in advance love y’all and God bless you
I’m a 30 year fan, but this stealing a baby from the mother’s womb to give to her husband’s ex is very insensitve and distasteful for viewers whose lost a child before. This hit home for lots of viewers, and eventhough its just a soap opera I cried like it was real. I would have rather you wrote it as the baby being stillborn.
Disgusted fan
I’ve watched The Bold and the Beautiful since the first episode with my great grandma… I remember taping it so I could watch it after school and dvr’ing it since it was available…. I’m 48 years old and I recently moved away from home.. my favorite part of the day was after the show.. calling my grandma and talking about “the stories”.. after the “baby Beth” episode we were so disgusted we decided to stop watching (she’s 92) Having said that I would be sad to see it canceled… I’m hoping that they get new writers and don’t cross a… Read more »
Hi Lori, I had been watching BB for over 20 years and I too decided to stop watching. I didn’t watch the baby Beth episode as I knew Hope would lose the baby. It was too painful. So I am with you deciding not to watch anymore.
I would hate to see it canceled. However they need to stop with the Hope and Stephanie. It is so predictable what is going to happen. I predict the loss of the baby will cause major issues for Liam and Hope and of course he will go back to Stephanie. Really what woman would keep going back and forth pretty much sharing the same guy. They really need a new plot. And new characters wouldn’t hurt. The new ones that have are awful. They are not very interesting or very good actors. I have been watching a long time and… Read more »
Get new characters that can act.
The Bold & the Beautiful should just be called the Eskimo clan. Everyone sleeps with the same people over and over. New characters are lame as the old ones. Awful show.
Hi I love both the young and the restless and the bold and the beautiful I have watched the show fore years and I love them both especially the bold and the beautiful so don’t cancel these shows ever
The show is so predictable. I quit for a while and I had friends talked me into watching it again. Now I know why I quit! I knew she would supposedly lose the baby but really the doctor just traded the baby selling it to make the money it’ll end up with Stephie One day they’ll find out the truth . Same plot as young and restless over and over again. And I’m so over all the incestual stuff. Brooke has been with the father and every brother, her daughter has been with both brothers her sister has been with… Read more »

Plz take that into consideration when deciding whether to keep the show, CANCELING THIS WOULD BE BEYOND UPSETTING SO PLZ LET US THAT FOLLOW B&B TO BE ABLE TO KEEP ENJOYING IT FOR MANY MANY YEARS TO COME!!!!!!!!!
