14 Funny Females Who Prove There Can Never Be Too Many Women-Centered Comedies on TV (Take That, Lee Aronsohn!)

Amy Poehler has follwered in her real-life BFF Tina Fey's footsteps. Amy first made waves as a cast member on SNL, but we love her most for her role as Leslie Knope on NBC's always delightful Parks & Recreation. Over the course of its four seasons, Parks has grown from an iffy Office clone to the most consistently hilarious, heartwarming, and intelligent show on TV — and Amy's ever-complex character Leslie is a large part of its success. Amy's sharp wit, feminist spirit, and kindness makes her an inspiration on- and off-screen.
