In my youth it used to be tough guys with lots of muscles who used Karate and did all the action on TV. Okay, there was "Charlie's Angels", and Emma Peel of "The Avengers" way before that but nowadays you have babes like "Dark Angel" or the sexy Jennifer Garner in "Alias" beating up foreign agents and doing all the stunts.

I'm not sure if that's good or bad, I mean for us guys there's the "drool factor" in addition to all the high-tech action and for some gals I guess these uber-chicks are a role-model somehow. Too bad though for girls who are rather short and/or heavy-set who will never look nor move like these action-babes. I wonder if TV series like the ones I mentioned contribute to female eating disorders, especially among teenagers?
