6. The Big Bang Theory
The Big Band Theory may be a television show about geniuses, but the writers seem half-witted when it comes to developing their female characters. There’s Penny, whose good looks seem to be the only thing she has going for her, and her stupidity becomes a tired and overused joke. Amy may be as smart as the male characters but she’s made fun of for not being attractive. The Big Bang Theory isn’t an offensive show, but the fact that the female characters are so one-dimensional is insulting to women. Maybe if they were written better, Jim Parsons wouldn’t be the only actor on the show to win a Golden Globe Award and two Emmies.
