Much as I dislike the qualification EG it may be needed. I've already refrained from adding stuff like the Americans just to try and narrow it down a bit. But I added Penny Dreadful into my list because that is definitely a show with a female lead, and you know, I'm rather obsessed still Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is another.. I don't think we should include shows that have co-leads, one male and one female (like The Americans, The X-Files...) or shows that have multiple protagonists of both sexes and it's debatable who, if anyone, is the main character (Agents of SHIELD, Legends of Tomorrow...). We have a lot of shows anyway, just with those with one, two or multiple female leads and no male leads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annara Snow Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 4 hours ago, Buckwheat said: Just this list has 45 female driven comedies on it. Also: Call the Midwife Girls That list uses a pretty broad definition of "comedy". Some of these aren't exactly comedies, more like dramedies. If those are 'comedies', then we should also include, say, Xena. It was campy and often funny and didn't take itself too seriously, but it also could get quite dark. Also Buffy, for instance, probably had a lot more humor than many of these, but that sure doesn't make it a comedy. At least the list has reminded me of Dead Like Me. Dividing shows into genres is generally tricky, with so many of them falling in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honeyed chicken Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share Posted August 21, 2018 Here's our current list of nominees: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Jessica Jones Agent Carter Veronica Mars Xena the Warrior Princess Prime Suspect (the original, UK one, with Helen Mirren) The Good Place Dietland Sharp Objects Supergirl Damages Weeds Murphy Brown Cagney and Lacey Silent Witness iZombie Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Wynonna Earp Jane the Virgin Ugly Betty Desperate Housewives Fringe Sanctuary Blindspot Lost Girl Sabrina, the Teenage Witch Golden Girls Orange is the New Black True Blood Alias My So-Called Life Homeland Revenge La Femme Nikita Nikita Orphan Black Felicity Timeless Killing Eve Marvelous Mrs Maisel The Handmaid's Tale Big Little Lies Dollhouse Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles Outlander I Love Lucy: The Lucille Ball Show Bewitched The Good Wife One Day at a Time I Dream of Jeannie How to Get Away with Murder Scandal The Crown Girlfriend's Guide to Divorce Westworld (? some could argue) Sex and the City GLOW Dark Angel Once upon a time PLL Gossip girl Charmed The 100 Gilmore Girls Fuller house Powerpuff girls Ally McBeal Charlies Angels Laverne and Shirley Scream Queens The Mary Tyler Moore Show Veep Wonder Woman Madam Secretary Penny Dreadful Call the Midwife Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Parks and Rec Girls I count 79 shows on our list. Let's stop adding shows right there so we can move this along, OK? We have a bit of disagreement on how next to proceed. My suggestion would be for all interested spammers to vote for no more than 30 shows to be included in the game, and see how things look at that point. If the votes are falling for a pretty small group out of that horde, we can by pass a preliminary round and just do a regular EG. If the votes are more scattered - and there's no clear 30 - then we could add an elimination round. Does that sound OK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dividing shows into genres is generally tricky, with so many of them falling in between. I agree. I also don't know the majority of them, I just wanted to make a point that there are enough shows that can be considered a comedy to make a full game of them. 49 minutes ago, honeyed chicken said: I count 79 shows on our list.

RhaenysBee Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I have never heard of three quarters of those. So what are we trying to achieve? Lists in two categories? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise everybody is going to lose interest before the game even officially starts. OK. Will do in a few minutes and edit in the results here. With six voting (Annara, Helena, Jez, RB, Buck, me), I'll start by counting the shows that got no votes: 14 got zero Shows with one vote: 37 got one. Shows with two votes: 16 got two. Shows with three votes: 10 got three. Shows with four votes: 2 got four votes. If we make a list from the shows with two or more votes we have 28 shows to chose from. Is that acceptable to everybody? List to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honeyed chicken Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 Here's our 30: Bewitched Big Little Lies Buffy the Vampire Slayer Charlies Angels Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Dollhouse Gilmore Girls I Love Lucy: The Lucille Ball Show iZombie Jane the Virgin Jessica Jones Killing Eve La Femme Nikita Marvelous Mrs Maisel Nikita Once Upon a Time Orange is the New Black Orphan Black Outlander Prime Suspect (UK) Sharp Objects Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles The Crown The Good Place The Good Wife The Handmaid's Tale The Mary Tyler Moore Show Veronica Mars Wonder Woman Xena the Warrior Princess OK, with this edit, we're up to 30 - Gilmore Girls and Once Upon a Time have been added. Some others were mentioned (The 100 and Charmed - which each got 1 vote; and Parks & Rec - which got none) but not as emphatically as the first two. Unless there are any further objections, let the hurting and healing begin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhaenysBee Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I have the same problem as before. I have never heard of 10 of these while some serious classics are missing. gilmore Girls and charmed and once upon a time went on for 7-8 years and the first two even got a reboot (however crappy they may be). I would at least fill it up to 30 with those. On the other hand, Buckwheat is right, I wouldn’t delay the game any longer So I can live with this too.

I can give it the second vote if you want. Out of those you voted, I've also watched a bit of Once Upon a Time (most of the first 3 seasons - started losing interest after that) and I've very recently started to watch The 100. I'm at episode 5, it's starting to get good. I could vote for one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you can start writing Prime Suspect as just Prime Suspect. or Prime Suspect (UK) just to make sure it's clear it's not the US remake. I'm sad that Agent Carter, My So-Called Life and Damages didn't get a second vote. Those were really good shows. But since I only voted for 21 or 22 shows, is it OK if I vote for couple more that I've seen some of, which would give them 2 votes and get them the final 2 spots? Out of the shows other people voted that didn't get in - I've seen some of Gilmore Girls and Once Upon a Time and I've recently started The 100. I think out of those, I would vote for Gilmore Girls and The 100 to give them the last 2 spots. Is that OK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HexMachina Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Another vote for Gilmore girls and making a round 30. my other vote would go to Parks and Rec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, unfortunately, Agent Carter, My So-Called Life, and Damages only got the vote you gave them. Gilmore Girls was a pretty unanimous add for 29th spot, and Once Upon a Time seemed a clear choice for #30. Hope no one's sad The 100 got left off?
