If I were to do a photomanip of iconic tv show women, I honestly can only think of like, four of them. And google showed me Mindy Lahiri being one and I do not agree with that (cause of her gloating about assaulting a cast member and threatening to fire a crew member for pointing it out to her.) Most of the rest of them I don't know anything about;

Brooke Davis,

Leslie Knope,

Hillary Banks,

Olivia Benson

Lucy Ricardo

Blair Waldorf (I did watch Gossip girl but I don't know that she's a positive female icon)

Really I consider a woman icon of a tv show being a powerful woman that lifts other women up and in their show, paves a way of goodness in example. So the ones I DO know are;

Dana Scully

Xena

Gabrielle (from Xena, although she wasn't listed)

Buffy

Olivia Pope (now, google reminded me of her)

I consider Elena Gilbert and Emma Swan to be as well.

And then Google said the tv personality of Mary Tyler Moore, Mary Richards. Does she fit that narrative?

Anyone else obsessed with Mary Tyler Moore Show and the whole Mary/Rhoda ship?

No? Just me. Yup thought so. That's fine. I'll just keep sailing happily along on my raft of insanity.

My Top 5 (of all time)

I've notice a lot of love is heaped on our favorite guy characters and I was thinking who are my top 5 favorite woman characters? These fictional characters make my heart glow and ain't nobody or no ship more important than their happiness! In no particular order...

The Mary Tyler Moore Show- Mary Richards! I used to watch reruns of this old show with my mom on Nickelodeon. Mary was an ambitious, slightly awkward, Midwestern sweetheart. Her character was the first female producer on a local news station and she was surrounded by men. She held her own, while maintaining her natural sweetness and femininity. Mary inspired my mom to leave her toxic home early and work hard to support herself independently by age 18!

2. The Cosby Show- Claire Huxtable!! I watched reruns after middle school. She was gracious, intelligent, funny, had the classiest clap-backs for adults and children alike, and flawlessly gorgeous. I still kinda want to grow up to be her, lol. Bill Cosby might have tarnished his legacy but Claire Huxtable will always be famous!!

3. Parks and Recreation- Leslie Knope! Leslie was intense, hardworking, weird, and kind. I love her how she always gave 100%, she's unapologetically earnest, and would do anything for her BFF/platonic soulmate Ann Perkins. I don't even generally like the idea of platonic soulmates, but these two! They'd kill for each other! The female equivalents of Shawn/Gus of Psych.

4. The Closer- Brenda Johnson is my most favorite lady cop! Brenda had a mildly scandalous past, a chocolate addiction, was a clutter bug, and the sharpest mind in state of Georgia AND California! Brenda closed cases better than anyone, while maintaining her humanity. This wonderful lady also got the sweetest man ever, proving that you don't need to perfect to earn love. Also, her southern accent was everything.

5. The Bear- Sydney Adamu is so lovable. She's talented, ambitious, brave, adorable and passionate. I love how she puts herself out there, problem-solves, sticks up for herself, supports the growth of her colleagues, and finds humor in dark places. She has huge dreams, but she doesn't think it's necessary to step on others to get there. Sydney is guarded and has a temper, but she is willing to open up under the right circumstances and to give second chances.

“Whose blood is that?”

— mary richards

"Mine mostly," Spot says, wiping at her face. Her nose is bleeding and she's sure to have a shiner on her eye in the morning, but at least the Navy recruit knows better than to mess with Brooklyn now. "Fresh group a kids from bootcamp at the Navy yard pier," she explains, taking the tattered handkerchief in her pocket and pressing it up to her face. "Thought they'd be tough guys and pick on some of the littles trying to sell papes. Put a stop to that real quick. But he got a few good hits in too, I gotta say."
