Don't try and deny it, we know you watch it. TV's number one daytime drama The Young and the Restless will officially celebrate its 40th anniversary on March 26th.
For the next three weeks, brief interview clips with many of the cast will be featured prior to each episode (seen weekdays at 12:30 pm on CBS) in celebration of the show's milestone anniversary.
For the record, The Young and the Restless is not TV's longest running soap. That honour belonged to The Guiding Light which premiered as a radio program in 1937, before moving to TV in 1952. It left the air Sept. 18, 2009.
What The Young and the Restless does take top honours for is consistently remaining the number one soap opera for several decades. This is made even more poignant as while there were once 13 daytime dramas to choose from, only 4 remain today.

This has been a favorite of mine ever since i was a kid. Can't believe it has been on for 40 yrs, and so many of the original cast are still with the show.
40 eh? Isn't that also the number of times Victor and Nikki have been married now?? LOL
I love that I can watch the show online, a one hour episode is about 38 minutes without all those boring detergent and tampon ads.
The scariest thing about this anniversary is that on and off i have been watching it the entire 40 years...YIPES!
