which of these shows have you *not* seen?

these all have at least one main female character who has been described as an icon and has an established place in mainstream culture. They all premiered from the 1990s to the 2000s. for shows like Charmed that have had a remake, or The X Files with a sequel, we’re only counting the original series!

by “seen” it can be whatever you classify that as—watching the whole thing pilot to final episode, catching a rerun occasionally, or even seeing enough gifsets here that you know the general premise!

feel free to reblog for sample size!

why do ships in supernatural fbi shows have such unshippable names. peter bishop and olivia dunham. what're you gonna do with that. pelivia. dishop. binham. there's no good option. and then there's x-files. sculder. dox. mully. literally there's no right answer.

One of the best outfits a female character (especially a middle aged one) can wear is a button up shirt with three-quarter length sleeves and a tank top underneath.

i pay attention to things that most people ignore (i wrote a 4000 word essay about harvey specter and how the suits costume designers use his clothing to show his relationships with people, and the emotional intimacy/trust he has with them) EDIT: essay now dropped

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?

Anyway, I will never forgive SVU for what they did to Dana Lewis. A strong, driven, smart, capable, likable woman, who is successful and respected in her career--let's disrespect everything about her character by having her downfall be tied to some guy! Because as we all know, women can't just have their own motivations and personality, it all has to be because of jealous, man-driven woman brain. They also screwed Olivia out of what was and could have been a really positive friendship with another woman, which is also annoying and disappointing. "Developing her character or at least sticking to what made her likable is cool, but how about we trash all of that and turn her into a sniveling, cowardly murderer who risked her career over angst caused by a romantic relationship instead??"

SO IRRITATING.

[clonerightsagenda]

That being said. While I enjoy TLT I'm not really invested in Griddlehark at all, but I think I finally understand everyone who's going biting ripping tearing about them because that is how I feel about Jane and Sophie. I don't even have anything intelligent to say about them, I just hold them in my mind sometimes. How did they do that
