How long has the young & the restless been on tv ?

The Young and the Restless has been running for 40 years on TV. It started March 26, 1973.

Set in Genoa City, Wisconsin, The Young And The Restless centres on the saga between two wealthy families (the Newmans and the Abbotts) in the cosmetics industry. Head of the Newman family is Victor Newman (Eric Braeden), the arrogant, cavorting billionaire and his wife Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott); and running the Abbott show is Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman), the irresponsible, pl@yboy CEO and his sister Ashley (Eileen Davidson).

Most of the show is centred on the rivalry between the two companies: Victor's Newman Enterprises and the Abbotts' Jabot.

Since the death of Jeanne Cooper (Katherine Chancellor) back on May 8, 2013, fans of "The Young and the Restless' have certainly felt the void. Highlight Hollywood has reported the CBS soap is planning a memorial service for the legendary actress which will bring some closure for both fans and Cooper's colleagues as well.
