    smug much?

    Leave it to broadsheet to be all smug about this TV stuff.

    OK that's TV - how about reality? It takes more than just "female empowerment" shows that sell, to make real strides in where it *really* matters.

    It shouldn't be solely about shows with women in power. It should shows that feature PEOPLE in power, bringing both sides to the table, not just focusing on one thing.

    What about the minorities? What about seeing more Blacks, more Hispanics, more under-represented groups into positions of power? Shouldn't be just about women.
