I can think of more current shows that such is true for the men, but not the women.

Women oriented shows are typically cheap dramas that come out by the dozens. Military, espionage, action, sci fi shows oriented towards men & male characters are more expensive to make but they're MUCH more likely to be (& be seen) as prestige fare.

It's a matter of quantity vs quality.

Absolutely. Really, in a way this question is asking the opposite: Are there any shows that care about men and the answer is almost none from the responses.

I can name dozens of shows with female leads aimed at women today. It is great that women can now watch shows in which they are the target audience but there needs to be a little balance.
