Female characters!

[katikat]

It's time to post my favorite female TV characters of this year. Only one character per show to not make it any easier ;)


Camille Saroyan (Bones)


Kensi Blye (NCIS:LA)


Elizabeth Burke (White Collar)


Teresa Lisbon (The Mentalist)


Ziva David (NCIS)

I think that there are many likable, kick-ass female characters on TV these days! Characters that are strong without being bitchy - which is what I hate about women on TV most, when writers mistake bitchiness for strength.

And what's your Top 5?

Looking at your list, I realized that I don't watch TV enough to make a list. :P The only current shows I make a point of never missing are QI and 30 Rock.

But my one scripted show has the best female character on TV, so there's that.

I don't watch 30 Rock. I've got too much on the plate as it is XP And what's QI?

QI is a British panel show led by Stephen Fry. It's a bit hit and miss - a lot depends on the guests, but when it's good it's completely hilarious. And hey, you learn interesting trivia while watching. ;)

Hehe, the only British show that I saw when I was in London a couple of weeks ago was Mythbusters which was awesome! Thank you for the links! :)

You don't know QI?! Seriously, you have to check it out. It's absolutely hilarious at times. After watching series 1 I made it a rule that I can't drink and watch QI at the same time - less of a chance that I'll choke on my drink because I'm laughing so hard. And I'm still sticking to that rule.
