Beware, something feminist this way comes.

I am thirsting for good roles for women on television shows. Maybe I'm inspired by some of the broadway shows I've seen, where roles for women aren't as flat or unilateral. But I'm extremely discouraged by the fact that the only two shows about strong, successful women that have come onto network television, Commander in Chief and Cashmere Mafia, have been nixed. In both of these shows, the female protagonists were awesome. They were strong, confident, successful, intelligent, and always bested the men who tried to beat them. They had integrity, wit, drive, and humor. In short, they were winners. I loved watching these women, and I know a lot of other people did too. These were terrific shows that did well. But now, they're both off the air. Would it be a stretch to wonder if male television executives decided this wasn't stuff that people needed to see?
