Upon returning to Simla, now in the British suit, Aafrin is confronted by Alice (Jemima West), who has been coerced into accepting her abrasive sadistic husband, Charlie Havistock (Blake Ritson)

We switch many miles and with Aafrin as our POV (he is our POV most of this episode) find Alice back with Charlie, the son she had fled with, Percy (Caleb Allen), a blonde toddler who we discover later is the reason she chose to stay with Charlie (so that she would not lose custody). We are soon immersed in the lives of the familiar characters whose circumstances appear to have changed far less.


A central scene is a cricket game where Aafrin is required to be umpire. Not easy for the spoiled Maharajah (Art Malik grown much older) whom Whelan is courting wanted to win. We meet this vain and amoral man and his mistress, Sirene (Rachel Griffiths), apparently actually from Western District of Australia (real name Phyllis).


Ralph looking at photo of his mother (lots of photo looking in this episode) and for no immediate reason Cynthia tells him Reggie was his father. His response is to get very angry at everything she says. So all along he knew her rhetoric was poisonous lies. It is she who persuades Hawthorne not to try to take revenge on Adam. She is fiercely keeping McCleod out of the club, except that he is giving money to an earthquake fund (the earthquake probably really occurred)


As the Bradys bid farewell to The Grand Canyon, Cindy asks the still uncredited lady at the gate if she remembers them, the Brady Family. Bobby corrects her that they are now the Brady Braves. I suppose this counts as an epilogue. We then see the Bradys drive away as they conclude their Grand Canyon adventure.


When the Hopi invite children to dance with them, the kids do the same thing without the Hopi getting bent out of shape. Not every little thing is offensive even though people want to make it a big deal. They are happy you are there to see their performance and know any deviations from their dance is not intentional. We spoke with them on the canyon rim and it seems white people make bigger issues out of things and are offended by more than what the Hopi are. Chill out people. There needs to be more understanding and less offense to every single thing.


Who realized that Bobby left camp and did they know Cindy went with him? If it was Peter I can see him telling Greg so they go looking. Mike was in the tent so.. maybe uh.. he needed to get some air and left the tent and saw Greg and Peter were gone? Or did one of the girls notice Cindy was gone and told Mike then saw the boys were gone as well?


The Northern (Eastern) side of the Grand Canyon is operated by the United States National Park Service. Parts of the South Rim are on the Navajo Nation and Paiute Tribe. This was also the case in 1971 during the filming of the Brady episodes.


I just watched the Grand Canyon episodes on ME-TV. It made me sad to watch them since we were going to go to Arizona. We had a trip coming up next week for 10 days to see the Canyon and Tombstone. We had to cancel because of everything that is going on. Next year for sure.


But I actually like your idea, much better. Condensed milk and powdered eggs were certainly available back then and, could have been easily packed and carried. It is more sensible that Alice packed these things ahead of time, rather than depending on the kindness of strangers.


In a remote location with very few people in it, which would get cold at night, he intentionally left home with just the clothes on his back and no food or water. (Not accidentally getting lost like Bobby and Cindy.) He had no assurance that he would meet other kids, away from their potentially interfering parents, who would willingly smuggle food to him in secret. No plans for where or how he would survive, let alone study and qualify to be an astronaut.


The perfect ending to a perfect trilogy! A very Native American-themed episode, as evidenced by the fact that the main focus of this episode revolves around Bobby and Cindy encountering that Native American boy they saw in the earlier episode!


There are lots of fun aspects of Fuller House, the Netflix revival of Full House. But sometimes it crosses a line that makes you think you've been teleported back to 1987 when media sometimes just totally missed the mark on sensitivity, race, and the depiction of other cultures. In episode 11, "Partnerships in the Night," Fuller House appropriates Indian culture for a party scene, and while the show's writers probably didn't intend for it to be offensive, that's unfortunately how it's being perceived. You know how when you watch old sitcoms that rely on cultural stereotypes to make a joke, whether it's about the "inner city" or a family vacation to somewhere in Asia and you think, wow, I can't believe they did that. That's kind of how this scene came across to some viewers. Romper reached out to Netflix for comment on the episode but has not yet heard back.


It didn't have to be this way. The episode is all about Kimmy Gibbler and Stephanie throwing a retirement party for Dr. Harmon, D.J.'s boss. Except that he's not really "retiring," he's just returned from India and has decided to give up "all his earthly possessions," which he explains in a fake Indian accent. India is a federal parliamentary republic with a complicated, large, economic system. It is the ninth largest consumer market in the world. They buy lots of "earthly possessions." The stereotype that all Indians are laying around in savasana pose all day needs to go away.


This is unnecessary on so many levels. Firstly, cows are sacred to Hindus as a symbol of wealth and abundance. So to have one at a party that's supposed to be for a newfound Buddhist, giving away all of his possessions, is less than sensitive. Secondly, have you ever worked on a television set? Pour one out for all the production assistants who had to wrangle that poor animal around the Tanner abode.


At one point, the cast breaks into a Bollywood style group dance. Bollywood style itself is an amalgamation of a bunch of traditional folk dances. There is nothing wrong with a good dance party, but wouldn't you raise an eyebrow if every time another culture showed an "American" gathering, people were line dancing at a Donald Trump rally?


Everyone is dressed up in "traditional Indian" garb for the party, but they are way off. Turbans are mainly worn by Sikhs in India. In fact, if you Google "turban, meaning" that's actually in the definition of the headress. Go ahead, try it. People other than Muslims or Sikhs might don one for a wedding or something, but they are meant to cover the head for religious purposes.


Maybe these turbans aren't as offensive as they are dangerous (how is the baby holding his head up?), but the implication that to be "Indian" you have to be decked out in silk robes and headgear is troubling.


Perhaps the mixture of all the varying symbols and traditions at the Fuller House party was simply intended as an homage to the wide array of cultures and religions within India itself. However, Indian viewers didn't perceive it that way, so this is a good opportunity for TV creators to learn how to more accurately and sensitively represent a variety of cultures. There's no need for representations that perpetuate harmful stereotypes, whether they were meant that way or not. Cut. It. Out.


The plot concerns Buffy, who during her first year at college, feels down about her mother being out of town for Thanksgiving and decides to have a Friendsgiving with the rest of the Scooby Gang, her partners in weekly monster sleuthing and slaying. During the episode, one of these friends, Xander, who is part of a construction crew building a new college cultural center, accidentally discovers a buried Spanish mission, where the warrior spirit of the Chumash tribe, Hus, is trapped. Said warrior spirit then escapes to, of course, rampage and murder.


Espenson has said she actually researched the hypothetical area of California where Sunnydale was located to figure out which tribe should do the avenging, lending some authenticity to the episode as well. The Chumash are still around in the form of the Santa Ynez Band of the Chumash Indians, who have been federally recognized since 1901. While they are a small tribe now, their territory historically ranged from Malibu to Santa Barbara and Montecito.


"The Cigar Store Indian" is the 74th episode of the NBC sitcom Seinfeld. It is the tenth episode of the fifth season, and first aired on December 9, 1993.[1] In this episode, Jerry has troubles with appearing racially insensitive in front of a Native American woman he is attracted to, while Elaine is bothered by a lovestruck TV enthusiast whom she met on the subway.


After visiting the Costanzas' house, Elaine and Kramer must take the subway home since their ride, Jerry, is helping George with a coffee table stain. She takes a TV Guide with Al Roker on the cover as reading material and forgets it on her seat; it is obtained by an amorous TV enthusiast, Ricky, who cuts it up to make a bouquet for her. Elaine and Kramer are separated when Kramer stops to get a gyro.


Jerry presents Elaine with a cigar store Indian as a peace offering for making her take the subway, in large part to show off his generous side to Elaine's friend Winona. Winona becomes offended and walks out, after which an irate Elaine informs Jerry that Winona is Native American. Elaine gives the cigar store Indian to Kramer. He has an idea for a coffee table book about coffee tables and asks her to mention it to her boss, Mr. Lippman, but Elaine says it is a dumb idea. Jerry apologizes to Winona and smooths things over enough to get a date with her. He asks a postman for directions to the nearest Chinese restaurant; the postman attributes Jerry's asking to the fact that he is Chinese, and Winona walks out again, convinced of his racial insensitivity.


George meets Sylvia, an employee at a furniture refinishing store, and takes her to his parents' home, where they have sex. His parents discover his prophylactic wrapper in their bed and the absence of Frank's TV Guide and ground him.
