If all goes well this Spring, next Fall we’re going to be seeing women on the run from drug cartels, a fugitive from Krypton solving crimes, a high school gym teacher freshly out of the closet, and a super model fresh out of rehab.

These are a few of the drama and comedy pilots centering on female characters cooked up by Hollywood’s best and brightest.

But wait, there’s more!

Audiences can look forward to seeing the story of a woman fresh out of a cult, a college campus besieged with imperiled coeds, and a behind-the-scenes look at a popular telenovela.

There’s no shortage of female-centric television pilots this season, and for once, Hollywood has got it right:  Women CAN make it on their own in TV.

From the classic Mary Tyler Moore to Murphy Brown, from I Love Lucy to The Carol Burnett Show, Television has a long history of throwing out the Welcome Mat to Women We Love.

As exemplified by Buffy the Vampire Slayer to Sex & The City to Desperate Housewives, Television is a much friendlier medium to women than Film.  Hello!  Once Upon A Time, Scandal, How To Get Away With Murder…Now is a great time for Women in Television.

There’s a reason or two for that, you know.

Advertising on television is disproportionately geared towards women.  The networks have long known that women control the remote control, as well.

TV characterizations can really vary, too:  Lawyers, Spies, Waitresses, Politicians, Detectives.  The Good Wife, Revenge, 2 Broke Girls, Madam Secretary, The Mysteries of Laura, Girls…all these shows are led by diverse female lead characters, and all of them are clicking with the audience, some more than others.
