Annara Snow Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 You have Big Little Lies twice. But you left out GLOW. So it's still the right number of shows. There's also Feud. At least season 1, which focused on Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. Anyone seen it? I listed a bunch of shows I've heard of but haven't seen, and some I have but don't really like (Sex and the City, Desperate Housewives, Felicity, Revenge...). Buffy the Vampire Slayer Jessica Jones Veronica Mars Agent Carter The Good Place Dollhouse My So-Called Life Prime Suspect Dietland Sharp Objects Damages Homeland Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles iZombie La Femme Nikita Killing Eve Westworld The Handmaid's Tale Big Little Lies Outlander Xena the Warrior Princess Dark Angel, Blindspot and Alias are in the "maybe" category. There's a bunch of shows on the list that I've been meaning to check out but have got to time to... like Fringe, Orphan Black, Orange in the New Black, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, GLOW (which I may be starting to check out soon), so I may change my mind by the time voting gets underway.

Was there not something called Gilmore Girls? I don't know that one either, but the title seems female-oriented to me at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckwheat Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Also, I vote that we divide this topic into "comedy" and "serious" or something. There are quite enough candidates to make two games with 20 or so participants. And it is just weird to pit, for example, Handmaid's Tale against The Good Place.

HexMachina Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Gilmore Girls is a good choice actually. I would add that to the list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have enough comedies for that, there are about 3 times more dramas on that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree putting comedies against dramas is a little weird, but Annara has a good point. 33 minutes ago, Annara Snow said: We don't have enough comedies for that, there are about 3 times more dramas on that list. I would not know. Somebody else would have to divide the shows as I'm unfamiliar with most of them. That said - there are so many we could do two complete sets of 30 each and when we have whittled each group of 30 down to 15, combine them. We've done something like that in the past and it worked out ok Does that sound OK - or just take the 30 most popular in one list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I remember this being done with some games - a qualifications round, so to speak. I don't remember what the rules were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annara Snow Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 We've also forgotten Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: Discovery. Certainly notable shows with a female lead, though I'm not pushing for them to be on the list. Seen every episode of both, can't say I'm a big fan of either.

I kind of hate the qualifications and finals and multiple rounds of the same game, so I would rather play with smaller categories (don't see why playing with, say, 10 candidates to begin with is a problem at all) and play a few shorter unrelated games.

Buckwheat Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Just this list has 45 female driven comedies on it. Also: Call the Midwife Girls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HexMachina Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Ooh how did I forget Parks and Rec?! Ugh, this is a tricky list to narrow down. 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..

The list keeps growing - and how did I forget Call the Midwife - all those nights when I was washing dishes as some poor woman screamed her lungs out on the TV in the living room (with Mrs. Chicken watching)? Buck, I'm with Helena on this one - I don't see how we can not have an extra round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
