Here comes another soap anniversary.
“The Bold and the Beautiful” debuted 20 years ago Friday -- March 23, 1987 -- and has since become what CBS calls “the most watched daily dramatic serial in the world.” Its half-hour length and glamorous fashion focus make it an easy sell in foreign countries, 140 of which are currently airing its love wars.
Not that it’s a slouch in the homeland. “B&B” is currently nominated for such big-time Daytime Emmys as outstanding drama series and outstanding writing. (This year’s trophies will be handed out June 15.) It’s also the first soap to simulcast a dubbed Spanish-language track (since 2001).
You can watch an online encore of “B&B’s” recent 5,000th episode here.

I dont know if I have the right website but I love the B@B. I have watched it since its first episode the only thing I dont like is that it is not an hour and it is not on the soap network, Please fix this if you can. Brook and stephane are the show. Ridge is an institution, Please make this an hour show or put it on soap net
