The Top 7 TV Shows for Today's Savvy Ladies

As Shania Twain famously said in one of her songs, "Man! I Feel Like A Woman!" It's a great day to be a female, and it's even better day to be a lady. There's nothing wrong with celebrating being a girl, and if you're a TV fan like we are, you might want to bring over 5 of your favorite girlfriends and watch something interesting on TV.

Not sure what shows to watch to bring all your girlfriends over on the couch? Well, here's a quick list of the top 7 TV shows for today's savvy ladies.

1. Friends

Yes, we know -- Friends is no longer on the air. That doesn't mean that you can't get your Friends fix! There are plenty of reruns on cable television, which means that you will always be able to have a TV show marathon if you catch it in time. What makes Friends interesting is how much you can really relate to the characters. Between Phoebe's silly songs and Rachael's on-again, off-again relationship with Ross, there's a lot of ground to be covered in Friends. With over 10 seasons on DVD, chances are good that you'll find at least a few episodes that are worth watching. Don't forget Phoebe's ode to "Smelly Cat!"

2. Sex and the City


What happens when there are 4 friends that will do anything and everything for each other. This is the classic story of 4 BFF's that go through life, love, men and -- get this -- sex! Yes, the story is really the way it sounds -- and there are plenty of fun times to be had. If you’re a fashion fan, you'll definitely love this movie.

3. Grey's Anatomy

This TV show is all about the power of friendship as it comes to you on the job. There’s nothing like being able to really band together in times of a crisis. The most stressful job around is working at a hospital as surgical interns, and you will find that Grey's definitely gives you a lot of drama at one time. There are a lot of things to see in each episode, and the cliffhangers are good enough to really make you hang on and see what's going to happen with each and every show.

4. Dexter


Would you trust a man that is a known serial killer with your crime scene? You do in the world of Dexter, where the lead character kills people that have gotten off the hook with their crimes. This is a bit bloodier than you might find with most TV shows that have a woman-based audience, but it's still something that your girlfriends might want to watch -- especially if they're not into the traditional TV fare for ladies.

5. Weeds

How far would you go for your own children? When a woman's husband dies, she turns to a solid source of income -- marijuana, of course!  The lead character of the story has to balance between selling pot to her neighbors and being there for her children -- all while keeping it a secret from the police, the mobsters, and just about everyone else that will get in her way. This is a Showtime television show, which means that it's a bit darker -- you have to take the show with a grain of salt on all counts. Is this going to be a show that you'll want to have on when it comes to the kids? Absolutely not -- save this one for you and your girlfriends to watch, savor, and enjoy.

6. True Blood

The moment you hear the theme song for this show, you just wont' be able to get it out of your head! True Blood is all about vampires, werewolves, witches, and other supernatural creatures -- including a telepathic human that can read minds. True Blood is an action meets romance show filled with very attractive men, very scary situations, and plenty of drama for the entire couch to really sink their teeth into -- no pun intended.

7. House

How would you feel if your boss was a complete jerk and you still had to depend on him? Welcome to the world of House, where a team of interns has to work with Dr. Gregory House, a brilliant doctor that has a highly sarcastic attitude. Again, this isn't a super-show for women specifically, but it still is a show that has plenty of themes available for women -- like the romantic angles. If you like to laugh, you'll definitely like this show.

Overall, these are just a handful of the great TV shows out there for women. In this list holds something for just about every woman, so why not get a group of your favorite friends and watch a few shows for yourself?
