LOS ANGELES -- Daytime TV just got a bit sexier with CBS' new digital series Not Safe for Daytime.

The short form videos, available on CBS' YouTube channel, will feature skits, pop culture parodies and viral video spoofs from stars of The Price is Right, Let’s Make a Deal, The Young and the Restless, The Bold and the Beautifuland The Talk.

While CBS Daytime has been No. 1 during the day for 29 consecutive years, the digital series is a way to both thank existing fans and attract new ones.

Currently, CBS Daytime shows rack up about 28 million viewers each week.

The shows collectively have more than 5.1 million followers across CBS Daytimes' various official social media channels.

"We don’t take [being No. 1] for granted, and we’re always looking for ways to be bigger, better and bolder tomorrow than we were today," Angelica McDaniel, executive vice president of CBS' Daytime programs and syndicated program development, told Mashable. "This series is an extension of that idea. We needed to challenge ourselves and take our content to the next level."

The idea is to "go above and beyond" just posting episodes to CBS' website and promoting them on social media.

"We need to evolve and it’s so important we are evolving at the same pace that our viewers are," McDaniel said.
