Guys, I need stuff to do while I'm at work, because now I have a second job and it is actually even more boring than the first (believe it or not).

Here's the catch though, I want these shows to be AWESOME for the ladies. I'm sick of seeing potentially amazing characters relegated to the back burner, destined to only be the love interest with no active role in the story. I'm okay if the female characters are part of the supporting cast, but I'm just really sick of watching things where the chicks have no power.

Children's shows would be even more awesome, because I love watching kid shows. But I will take anything.

Things that I love that kind of fall into the vein I'm looking for:

• Powerpuff Girls
• Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood
• My Little Pony Friendship is Magic
• Thor
• Uglies
• The Hunger Games

(...and now I am sad because this list was so hard to pull together.)

I'm not picky about genre, but I do have a tendency to shy away from hardcore fantasy. If you know me, then you know I love superheroes, outer space, and women who choose their paths solely because they whole-heartedly want to do that rather than because they are trying to purposely conform/not conform to what everyone expects of them.

I also love endings where the greater good wins (even if that isn't the hero and it isn't happy) and realistic treatment of character's injuries. I really don't like when a character gets shot in the stomach and then is running/jumping/climbing/whatever the day after like nothing happened.

It doesn't have to tick all the boxes, I'm mainly just looking for something that has awesome ladies for me to fangirl over.
