Fun fact: Hells Kitchen started uploading season 3 in HD widescreen today. While the season has 12 contestants the widescreen versions of the episodes reveal a 13th named JR who is never acknowledged anywhere in the series and was removed from several wide shots/group shots.

@popeyeotaku The theory is he threatened to blackmail another contestant and was removed from the show before the first dinner service. The group shots were most likely restaged while the scenes of him on the sides were ignored because they knew the show would air in 4:3.

Garland was a huge proponent of the Civil Rights movement. She was 15 when she did blackface. Children in Hollywood at this time were forced to perform against their wills, worked illegal hours, were beaten and molested and this drove Garland to the drugs and alcohol killed her.

YYH paved the way for deeper storytelling in Shounen battle series, in part by introducing Shoujo Elements to the formula. It set a new standard for character development, created many Novel character archetypes, and set a bar that STILL hasn’t been cleared for Tournament Arcs
