P!nk, Sia, Tori Kelly, and Jennifer Hudson are just as well known for soaring on Billboard charts as they are for the soaring vocal displays that line their respective discographies.

Yet, while their fruitful careers have yet bear a proper collaboration (other than lining a few award shows and specials), fans of the divas are one step closer to hearing what the powerhouses would sound like on one tracklist via the new Netflix series ‘Beat Bugs.’

Rapper/actor/director Ice Cube is set to revisit one of the many titles that line his already decorated resume – television producer.

Indeed, after occupying the producer’s chair for a number of small screen shows over the last ten years, the ‘Friday‘-series star is set to team with VH1 to resurrect one of TV’s longest-running game shows:  ‘Hollywood Squares.’

Welcome to Retro Rewind, the TGJ original feature whipped up to celebrate TV and Film’s glorious past.

Today, we honour the epic series that was ‘Xena: Warrior Princess.’

Pictured above with her lover Marcus, the character made her first appearance in 1995 to lead the Hercules spin-off to ratings glory.

She succeeded.

For, compelled by Lucy Lawless‘ portrayal of the former villain’s quest for redemption, TV lovers turned the series into ratings magnet much to the delight of producers Robert Tapert and Sam Raimi.

Hailed, alongside ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ and Jessica Alba‘s ‘Dark Angel‘, for leading the way for the fearless group of female action heroes who followed her, Xena’s impact on Pop culture is often credited for reshaping the way in which male audiences consumed TV shows fronted by women.

Alas, the last decade has seen TV fail to deliver female leads as bold and brave as the corset-rocking warrior.

Step back in time with us and weigh in on why you think this may be below….
