On television, there appears to be a gender bias when it comes to the portrayal of homosexuality. While gay men are catty best friends and deeply dramatic teens, lesbians are much rarer, unless you only count Showtime's The L Word. Why this is we're not quite sure, all we know is this: we love lesbians.
Going back through the years, we put together a list of our five favorite TV lesbians. These aren't the most socially important or famous like Ellen DeGeneres. Instead, we thought long and hard about the TV lesbians we loved to watch, the ones we fell in love with, and the ones who made us laugh out loud.

Check out all our lists for BuddyTV's Top 7 of '07 to relive the best and the worst of the year in television.
Don Williams ranked South Park 3rd. He says...
It's unfathomable to me that, after being on the air for 11 seasons, South Park is still able to make me cry from laughter almost every week. This year, Trey Parker and Matt Stone ruthlessly skewered the Easter holiday, The Da Vinci Code, Tourette's syndrome, Guitar Hero, 300, Hillary Clinton, and Bono, amongst other things. The series is still as cutting edge, topical, and hilarious as it was back in 1997.

Tonight, the 11th season of Comedy Central's South Park comes to an end with a yet another hilarious episode entitled, “The List.”
According to the network, the finale has the girls in the fourth grade class drawing up a secret list that rates each of the boy's physical appearance from cutest to ugliest. The boys steal the list from the girls but they soon find out that they're not prepared to deal with the results.

Last week it was about the amazing world of crap, with the South Park installment aptly called “More Crap,” that even featured U2 frontman and Nobel Peace Prize nominee, Bono, doing his every bit to ensure his record for biggest crap remains unchallenged by Randy's toilet contribution. This week, South Park heads to more pleasant fare with tonight's episode entitled “Imaginationland.”
Episode 1110 finds the boys exploring the vast possibilities of creativity and imagination even as the United States government tries to secure their newfound knowledge. Read on for more spoilers to what's in store tonight on South Park.

As could only be legitimate on a show like South Park, tonight's episode (Spoiler Alert) deals with the magical draw of crap. Tonight's offering is the second in a line of seven all-new original episodes for South Park's 11th season which kicked off last Wednesday.
Episode 1109 in the South Park franchise revolves around Stan's dad, Randy, whose latest toilet masterpiece becomes the town's newest source of awe and amazement. Read on for more spoilers to tonight's crap-centered installment.

South Park returned tonight with its first new episode since April. Technically speaking, this is not the beginning of a new season, but rather the eighth episode of the eleventh season. But, for all intents and purposes, it's a new season. Trey Parker and Matt Stone don't have episodes in the bag They create each episode of South Park the week before the show airs, allowing a freshness that doesn't allow jokes to go stale. Which is weird, because tonight's South Park was centered around Chris Hanson jokes, which people have now been making for the better part of a year. I'm as big a South Park fan as you'll find, but I'm no blind follower. It's impossible to deny that Trey and Matt occasionally misfire with an idea, and tonight was one of those unfortunate misfires. Next Wednesday will probably be hysterical; that's the way these things go. But this first episode back is not indicative of the South Park's last few years of consistent high quality.

South Park creators, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, and Comedy Central have teamed up to overhaul SouthParkStudios.com into an entirely new portal. In a joint venture that involves millions and a 50-50 split of advertisement revenues, the network and the two creative partners have agreed to create a hub to disperse South Park-related material across the net, mobile platforms, and video games.
The South Park hub, which is intended to be a home for new applications for characters like Cartman, Kyle, Stan and Kenny, can also be an abode for new comedy concepts that could one day mature into a TV show of their own.
