Liz Lemon and Leslie Knope are not only two of the funniest female characters on television, but they are played by two of the most creative and powerful women working in cultural production today. It's been a joy for smart, complex women all over America to finally have a few laughs with women who understand their sensibility, their foibles, their triumphs, their lives. Take that away, and not only will your bottom line suffer, but we will lose direct and regular access to the most dynamic writers creating feminist, funny content around.
