Girl main characters in shows

I find it difficult to get myself to watch shows like Revenge because the main character is a woman. How do you feel about shows with a girl as the single main character?

you seem pretty misogynistic.

There was a thread recently on this board about female characters. I would say Game of Thrones does the best job with creating likeable female leads.

Does Parks and Rec count?? A woman is definitely the main character; however, she is probably not in the top 5 of most people's favorite characters on the show...

You sound gay. What male watches "Revenge"? Nikita, Veep, etc. are good shows

I think of the last decade, Alias has had the best female protagonist. I thought it was great, but I love Jennifer Garner and I love espionage so I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Seriously? Sounds like something an 8 year old boy would complain about. "Ewwww girls"

Depends on the type of character. I have no problems with female characters if they are written to my liking.
The shitty, naggy ones suck.
The attempt to hard to be funny ones suck too.

Female characters written right can be great. For example, Arya in game of thrones. But if they aren't written well they just annoy the shite out of me.

Buffy was a good show.

I like Veep, Korra, and Parks and Rec, and their main character are all female. If you want to get into a show with multiple main characters and some happen to be female, I don't know where to start.

Veep is fantastic

Bad arse females on TV shows or movies who can defeat fully trained male agents turn me off for some reason. Bad arse females like Dany from Game of Thrones, females who use their charisma rather than physical strength to get what they want, I don't have a problem with.

Does Anna Torv (Olivia) in Fringe count?

I don't think I've ever been a huge fan of any show where the show revolves almost entirely around a single figure. For example: West Wing, Game of Thrones, Lost, The Unit, House of Cards, Sons of Anarchy, etc.
The closest I think would be Dexter, Breaking Bad, and Californication. Obviously biased towards guys, but what major shows have a female as a true, almost solo lead? Girls? That show blows, so I don't think it is bias against female characters.

I'm the same way. Call it misogynistic or not, but i just can't get into them.
What's bad is i don't even like to read books written by women, because i have a preconceived notion that they do not have the insight to write in the perspective of a man.
The only book i've read on purpose, written by a woman, was Harry Potter.

Well most of the shows with female leads tend to be more directed towards women so...
And maybe off topic, but how many shows have had women of color in the lead role? I know that Kerry Washington is only the second black female lead but have any Hispanic or Asian women been leads? Maybe Jessica Alba might count. I think that she's half Hispanic.

don't trust the B in apt 23 was really good; too bad it got cancelled.
