Why The Young and the Restless might be annoying:

    Most of the original characters were dropped in the early 80s.
    The creators’ daughter played the prominent role of Cricket Blair for years.
    The servant characters can be dated and offensive.
    There have been creepy story lines involving incest or rape.
    Child characters frequently age from kindergarteners to teenagers in a few months.
    It is called ‘Wind of Lies’ in Turkey.

Why The Young and the Restless might not be annoying:

    The theme song was used by Nadia Comaneci during the 1976 summer Olympics.
    It is known for its luxurious sets and high quality writing.
    Unlike some soaps, it avoids outlandish plot devices such as time travel and cloning.
    Characters and their motivations stay consistent over the years.
    It showcases many great, ongoing feuds (Jill versus Katherine, Jack versus Victor, Phyllis versus every other female character).
    It has been the highest rated soap since the late 80s (as of 2009).
