What do you think? Do you still like The Young and the Restless TV series? Are you glad that it’s been renewed already by CBS?
I LOVE THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS —- I have watched it since it started on TV which is most of my life. It’s like a family to me. It would be HORRIBLE if it would be taken off TV—so don’t consider taking it off TV — for people who truly love the show and are faithful viewers. PS — I didn’t like the new Adam at first—now he really fits in.
Started watching in 1973…but today I said ENOUGH!!! I typically record so I won’t miss anything. I watched yesterday’s recording and couldn’t even bring myself to watch today’s…I deleted it AND cancelled future recordings. I’m sick of reliving all the old Adam…crap. And now the old Phyllis coming back…spare me. I can’t believe what they did with Kyle’s character…he marries Summer so she can give part of her liver to Nola…then dumps her and we’re suppose to be happy that he’s playing house with Lola….awful writing. Honestly what a waste of time watching Kyle Abbott try to be “handy” to… Read more »
I too have watched since the beginning. All this hate and revenge. I want family drama. The show sucks. Truthfully if they could cancel it and show reruns from the beginning I would be thrilled
Love how the show is progressing from summer 2018. It is becoming very diverse, and finally coming into the present. With the good new younger actors, it should start attracting the younger crowd now, but hopefully it will still keep the regulars for the older folks. I’m loving it right now!
Please don’t cancel Y&R!! I have been watching this show as a young girl with my mom, and now my daughters are watching with me! These characters are a part of my life!
If the show didn’t get cancel, why isn’t is showing up on CBS anymore. It is replaced with Xtra (entertainment show).
Please do not take SUMMER AWAY!!! She deserve to stay and have her HAPPY LIFE WITH BILLY !!! FINALLY….
The networks have made changes in stations I get CBS but not on a channel that Y&R comes on.

Y&R is the best soap i watch it everyday however the JT storyline needs to stop its almost a year now i hope Nick gets back together with Sharon and Billy gets together with Victoria i think Victor needs to have a bigger part he was always a big part of the show
I have been watching The Young & The Restless and The Bold and The Beautiful since day one. When I was working full time I would record it every day and watch it at night. When I vacationed at our lanai at Playa Linda in Aruba for 2 weeks every December, I would leave the beach every day to watch the Y&R, and the B&B. I am now 68 and retired. I watch Y&R & B&B every day, and when I am not home I DVR it every day. I am one of the biggest fans of The Y&R and… Read more »
I love the young and the restless every day. I look forward to it. very glad it will be around for another year at least
Thanks for not cancelling the Y&R. It is the best and only soap I watch.
Keep show
Please keep the show on forever
So glad Y&R is being renewed. My favorite and only soap
I’ve been watching The Young & The Restless for about 43 years ! I’ve also been watching The Bold & The Beautiful since the first day it aired ! I really look forward to watching these TWO TOP soaps every day !
I hope these two soaps will continue to be aired . So please don’t disappoint a long time fan ! Please don’t cancel my two favorite shows !!
I have watched this show for 45 yrs. Along with the Bold & Beautiful, these 2 shows are at the top of my list for daytime serials. I love the drama. My mother-in-law started me watching Young & Restless back in 1974. It was so eexciting and intense watching the characters go through their lives with all the ups and downs. Now that I’m retired, the shows are my down time in my hectic schedule. If I watch no other tv during the day, its going to be a must that I see your show. Please keep it coming and… Read more »
stop this JT storyline he hasbeen gone for months put it to an end
I had rather see the plot play itself out than see something that is fake to the story line throwed in and not true to itself.
Please let this story line b over, it’s been a year. Bring Adam MM back . Y&R needs a boost and this would do it. MM is a favorite w fans.
