The Bold And The Beautiful: How It All Began (4 Disc Set)

'THANK YOU GOD!!!!"
Obviously the Bell family, who owns the rights to "The Bold and the Beautiful" (the world's most-watched soap opera) saw the incredible sales of the Proctor and Gamble owned soaps "Guiding Light" and "As the World Turns" had on DVD so now comes an "official" DVD release of "B and B" featuring the series' first 16 episodes.

See how the stories all began back in the early spring of 1987 when Stephanie Forrester first met Brooke or when Ridge met Brooke and how the Forrester family made a solid mark in the California fashion industry.

What is amazing about these shows all 16 episodes were written soley by its creator William J. Bell while he continued to write "The Young and the Restless".

The stories are involving and many smack of the early days of "Young and Restless", but still the serial became known for the solid performance of Susan Flannery, an Emmy winner for her work on "Days of Our Lives", as Stephanie whom soap opera historian Chris...

Great addition to collection
It's great that the suits at CBS has finally released this version in the US after having sets released overseas for years. Seeing how some storylines and characters evolve over the last 25 years has been great. With the recent departures of Ronn Moss and Susan Flannery, it's especially cool to see them in their early days of B & B. Looking forward to future releases.

Enjoyed This Very Much!
I was very pleased with this set. I was born in 1987, so I obviously was not able to see the first few years of this show. I am familiar with the history of the show, but it's still good to actually see the episodes and watch the show unfold from the beginning. I only had a couple of complaints with the set.

1) I wish that they had more episodes in the set than just 16. Overseas, the box sets come in 25 episode sets. I hope in the future, they will consider including more episodes in the sets.
2) There aren't any "extras" on the DVD. You basically get the episodes and that's it. When I put in the first DVD, I thought maybe I had hit a wrong button, b/c it literally went right into the episode. I was like "Is this the beginning?" It could benefit from chapter selection and maybe some other behind-the-scenes extras/interviews.

Other than those two complaints (which are minor, in my opinion), I really enjoyed it. Can't wait until they release...
