Behold, a complete list of the greatest TV shows for women, ranked by ladies who love to watch
television! For stay-at-home mothers or young girls in groups, television shows can be an epic
activity and chance to bond with their friends and family. These are the TV series deemed the
best for that woman-bonding time.

The demographics of these shows all absolutely include a male audience of all ages, but they will
statistically skew towards the fairer gender. Most of the shows feature strong female protagonists
or ensembles consisting of memorable female characters. In fact, a lot of the television series
literally have the word "girls" in it. One example? Girls.

In addition to the HBO hit, there are girls who are golden, girls who gossip, girls who are broke,
a girl who is new, and girls who are... powerpuffs. And where would television be without
women like Mary Tyler Moore, Laverne, Shirley, Mindy, Lizzy McGuire, or Gidget? So get the
sisterhood together to watch these TV shows in your living rooms. Save the chick flicks for some
other time. It's time to snuggle up for some good girly tube time.
