Women on TV


Am I a sexist viewer? I realized last week that I primarily watch men on TV. The shows I watch are anchored by men. I don't watch The View, Oprah, Ellen, Katie Couric or Desperate Housewives. I do however watch:

David Letterman
Jon Stewart
Charlie Rose
Bill Maher
Tim Russert
George Stephanopolous
Bill O'Reilly
Ebert and Roeper
60 Minutes
South Park

I use to watch Judge Judy but I haven't for a while. I love Heidi Klum on Project Runway but she disappears for long stretches. I watch American Idol but Paula Abdul takes a back seat to Seacrest and Cowell. Saturday Night Live is the closet I come to watching a show where women play major roles throughout. There might be something sexist about why I watch what I watch, but I hope not.
