Now that Whitney’s left, Lisa is focusing her anger on Angie and her businesses, claiming Angie only truly owns one and a half of the Lunatic Fringe locations, the rest being franchises. This leads to a debate about exactly which half Angie owns. Angie defends herself, stating she actually owns three locations and playfully retorts, “You do French fries, I do franchises.” Many people, including myself, recognize Angie’s intelligence. Mary even commented with a laugh, “That was good!” It’s especially upsetting because Angie has been a supporter of Lisa’s sons’ business, Fresh Wolf, by carrying their products in her stores. However, Angie isn’t afraid to be critical herself, dismissing Fresh Wolf as a low-tier business. It’s quite a moment when a Real Housewife feud escalates to criticizing a child’s line of conditioner.

Starting next year, viewers who haven’t paid for ad-free plans won’t have to deal with disruptive, loud commercials while watching shows like *The Pitt*.

Shows like *Dawson’s Creek* and *Buffy the Vampire Slayer* in the late 90s, and *The O.C.* and *Gossip Girl* in the 2000s, all owe a debt to *Beverly Hills 90210*. While *Saved by the Bell* helped establish teen television, *Beverly Hills 90210* truly changed the genre. After it aired, teen dramas became much more common and popular than traditional teen sitcoms, and its more dramatic approach became the new standard.
