what shows have a main cast of characters where there are more male ones in the group compared to the female ones? for instance in caroline in the city, there are only two: caroline and annie, whilst there are three guys: richard, del and charlie.

also what shows have a main cast of women characters outnumbering the male ones? for eg, another example would be ugly betty; we have betty herself, christina, amanda, wilhemina, hilda and alexis- even though she is a transexual and was born a man, she is considered as a woman, whilst the men are daniel, marc, justin, henry, ignacio

Gilligan's Island- 3 Women, 4 Men
Dukes of Hazzard- Daisy's the only woman on the 'main' cast of characters... and as for the men, there are Bo, Luke, Uncle Jessie, Boss, Roscoe, Enos, and Cooter
That 70's Show- 3 main women- Jackie, Donna, Kitty 5 main men Fez, Kelso, Hyde, Eric, Red

Bewitched seemed to have more focus of women than men, but not super lopsided-it say 60-40 -maybe because key characters were women-Sam, Endora, Aunt Clara, Gladys Kravitz
also...

Dad's Army

Hawaii Five-O - Up until the 12th and final season, there was never any regular female main cast member.
