Instead of bringing a new episode of The Young and the Restless on air on New Year's Day, fans were treated to a classic drama episode from October 17, 2003. Luckily, this was a continuation of Friday's rerun episode as everything was put to a halt during the winter holiday season. Nevertheless, fans can watch newer episodes from January 2, 2024, when all the CBS programming return to normal.
