The Best (and Worst) Leading Ladies of 2011

The year is almost over, and looking back on 2011’s new shows, there is an obvious trend: Women rule.

All aside from a few of 2011’s new shows feature a female protagonist. Even the few shows that don’t have a leading lady make a big deal of reaffirming that, hey, male protagonists do exist! Just look at the titles for LAST MAN STANDING, HOW TO BE A GENTLEMAN and MAN UP.

See what I mean?

To celebrate this TV sisterhood, I’m going to name my three favorite TV leading ladies of the year. And just for fun, I’m going to name my three least favorite leading ladies because, let’s be honest, not all of them are that great.

But because I don’t have time to watch all of these new female-focused shows, we’re going to let you vote for your favorite and least favorite leading ladies of 2011. So don’t get mad at me because I don’t choose Emma from ONCE UPON A TIME or Carrie from HOMELAND, okay?

PARKS AND RECREATION: Why You Should Be Watching

As I was studying for my Media Ethics final recently, a terrifying realization came over me: Because of my procrastination (I totally had to wash laundry, clean the bathroom and go grocery shopping before studying…) I was going to have to miss PARKS AND RECREATION.

This was pretty much a SOPHIE’S CHOICE-type decision for me. Should I keep studying for an exam I had to do well on or catch up with my favorite Pawnee government employees?

It was a tough choice, but I had to do what Leslie Knope would’ve done: Hit the books.

I reluctantly stayed in my room as 8:30 p.m. approached, but after my final ended the next day, I didn’t immediately catch up on the beauty sleep I so desperately needed. No, I instead caught up on PARKS AND RECREATION.

So why have I told you this story? Because PARKS AND RECREATION is the best comedy on TV, and I’m absolutely obsessed in love with it. So much so that my roommate and I may or may not have a framed pictured of Li’l Sebastian near our TV … I will leave you to answer that.

Because there are so many good shows on TV, we can’t cover them all on GMMR. But I just want to let you all in on what a great show PARKS AND RECREATION is and to celebrate the show’s success with those of you who already know.
