TV Shows – A Trend?

I really like three TV shows:

• Castle
• In Plain Sight
• The Closer

But there’s a common theme among the shows:

• All of them feature kick-ass heroines.
• All of the men give the heroine a wide berth or seem particularly wimpy next to them.
• Every single woman carries a gun.
• They all remind me of the Eve Dallas/Roarke dynamic.

Wonder what that says about me?

How about you?  Do you watch any of these shows?  Have you noticed a common theme?  Is it a reflection of the kick-ass heroine we find so often in contemporary books lately?
