US Network Legit Boots New ‘Nancy Drew’ TV Show For Being “Too Female”

The show “Nancy“ would have featured girl wonder / genius detective Nancy Drew (played by Sarah Shahi) in her 30s, working as a detective for the NYPD and was written by Joan Rater and Tony Phelan, the husband and wife team behind a lot of “Grey’s Anatomy“.

Shahi, who is of Spanish and Iranian descent, would have been the first woman of colour to play Nancy Drew if it weren’t for those dickhead cowards at CBS.

The internet was pretty pissed off about it, taking to the hashtag #toofemale to vent their frustration at the powers that be once again failing to acknowledge that half the population exists:

Nancy Drew is “too female” just like the sky is “too blue” and oxygen is “too breathable”. Get it together, @CBS. #toofemale

“Entourage” made it all the way through development without someone worrying it was “Too Douche.” #toofemale

I think “Game of Thrones” is “too swordy”. I’m basically a TV critic now.#toofemale

I just have a hard time with a world where a tv show can be #toofemale but a movie can’t be too made by a child molester.

Fingers crossed another network decides to not be a pack of doofuses and pick up the pilot.
