@ellaphant @Kachina624 & others who never have or will watch - how do you know they show women at their worst if you never watch? Sometimes they show women are their finest, toughest, hardest, best.
These women, on tv, undergo cancer or other illnesses, loose parents or other loved ones, discover & recover from cheating husbands, face robberies, have their lives ruined by being arrested or their spouse causing problems, raise money for & introduce people to various charities & most importantly can give hope & inspiration to others going through difficult times that you can come out the other side OK & survive & be even better!
They are not all bad! Unless you have watched a full season of one of these shows, you should not be commenting. Then if you dislike then, OK.
