A Big Milestone!
How Far It Has Come!
Y&R first hit the airwaves on March 26th, 1973, originally in half hour installments. The show upped to an hour in 1980. It of course is introduced by the very recognizable musical piece, “Nadia’s Theme.” Characters come and go; however, but the mainstays on the show became iconic: Jill Abbott (Jess Walton) and nemesis Katherine Chancellor (the late, great Jeanne Cooper), Victor Newman (Eric Braeden)–and we’re sure you dear readers out there have some of your fave classics, too!
