The Real Housewives of Atlanta returned for a surprisingly normal season 16 premiere Sunday night given the behind-the-scenes drama that has plagued the reality series in the last year — save for a lengthy set of introductions bringing the majority new cast into the fold.

“Welcome Back Peaches” is the title of the episode, which sees Porsha Williams and Cynthia Bailey return to the series after lengthy hiatuses, though only Williams has a coveted peach in the show intro, along with returning castmember Drew Sidora and Shamea Morton, long a friend of the series, who’s now been upgraded to the main cast.

Morton serves as the connector between the Og cast and the newest peach holders — Brit Eady, Angela Oakley and Kelli Ferrell — who wastes little time instigating drama, repeatedly asking why Williams, in the midst of a divorce from husband Simon Guobadia after 15 months of marriage, stole her soon-to-be-ex from Falynn Pina,...

While the franchise went through it’s ups and downs following a slew of cast exits and changeups, even former “Rhoa” executive producer, Carlos King, said, Season 16 could be one of its best yet.

“I think this is going to be one of the best seasons, for sure. And I’m going to tell you why: Porsha is back, and Porsha is so fun to watch. We get to see the uncovering of what happened in her filing for divorce [from Simon Guobadia] … We get...

Like any network TV show, The Simpsons has butted heads with standards and practices on more than one occasion. For example, Fox’s censors apparently weren’t thrilled about the episode that began with a Fox censor being brutally stabbed to death.

But in 1997, the censors objected to the entire premise of a show for the most regressive of reasons.

Season Eight’s “Homer’s Phobia” found Homer befriending an antique dealer voiced by the legendary John Waters. But Homer freaks out when he realizes that his new pal is gay. He eventually learns to accept John, but only after being saved from a pack of bloodthirsty reindeer by John’s robotic Santa Claus.

While it may be considered a classic episode today, “Homer’s Phobia” came shockingly close to never airing because the network censors “tried to kill it.” As legendary Simpsons producer and showrunner Bill Oakley revealed on the episode’s DVD commentary,...

With Gayle and Nate inexplicably missing from the recent episodes of CBS Mornings, many viewers seemed worried over their absences.

Western genre treats women well in films where they are developed as heroes, with complex moralities. Genre-bending Western movies with women as protagonists subvert problematic tropes. Female characters in Western films become more than a match for the West, embodying themes of escape and freedom.

One of the pitfalls of the Western genre is how the films treat women, but there are still plenty of movies that not only develop female characters but cast them as heroes. It's easy to associate Westerns with the rugged male sharpshooter who sweeps through town with his own agenda, not caring who he hurts along the way. However, the recurring themes of escape, freedom, and individualism prevalent across the genre represent women just as much as men.

It's almost always the genre-bending Western movies that stand the test of time as subversive of the problematic tropes that Westerns can employ. When women are centered...

Blue Jean (Georgia Oakley)

The Blue Jean of David Bowie’s 1984 hit was a girl with “a camouflage face,” not unlike the singer and the two personas he splintered into for the song’s video: a djinn-like rockstar dancing onstage and his ordinary, besuited doppelganger watching from below. So it is for the young woman at the center of Georgia Oakley’s own Blue Jean. A Pe teacher stranded in Tyneside, England, Jean (Rosy McEwen) is a divorcée in a same-sex relationship that no-one––least of all her pupils and co-workers––must ever know about. For the year is 1988 and Britain’s grappling with the revolting aftermath of Section 28. The bill passed by Thatcher’s government banned “the promotion of homosexuality” by local authorities,...
