90's feminism is used to praise the original series for it's methods of spreading feminism and handling of the issue. The case study of the return of PPG to the air addresses the major differences between the two shows and their add campaigns, marketing strategies, and differences in the overall audiences. In 2016 feminism, the author argues that the writers of the new show are far too cautious with the show and it is suffering in consequence.
