hehe - no. my theory is that TV shows are too lucrative and too important to actively alienate women in 2022. but it seems wild to say that as a blanket statement for all shows, so I'm looking for counter-examples.

you're right though. we could name shows from the past that just didn't care to include women, and even though they had female characters, they were mostly treated like an afterthought. i can't really come up with any examples where that's the case for modern television though.

right? (and how cool is that?) I feel like I could also name (current US mainstream superhero) comic books, and tons of cartoons from my childhood in the 80s. but I think TV shows "proved" that this is a problem that can be solved.
