It's on our Netflix queue. My wife and I really like HBO's Big Love. Its main character is, for all intents and purposes, trying to be a good man (by his own set of morals), and it has examples of what happens when manhood is not checked and balanced. I don't know if it's a smart show, but it's touching and the characters grow on you very quickly. http://www.the-common-man.com I haven’t seen it, though I’ve heard really good things.

(I want every stitch of clothing that Joan wears; I would rock the heck out of it. Anywho.) The scene that probably bothered me the most is the office 'party' where one of the guys chases a secretary around a forcibly lifts up her dress so he can 'see what color underwear she's wearing'. Even more shocking? She didn't slap him. The great thing about the show is that they DO manage to portray women of strength (like Menken) even in such a constricted society.
