You should watch Rugrats, the main cast don't have any children, only the supporting cast.

But not isolated to 'career women', 'scarred by trauma from the past women' or womaniser men. Characters that just don't have kids because they don't want to. They don't need to be cool or deadbeat uncles/aunts either.

I also really really really want the idea that women will lie down and die/accept doom unless they have found out recently that they're pregnant, to stop being used. Women have a will to live without gestating another lifeform.

So many of my favourite shows and characters have been ruined by the 'oh she's pregnant' storyline. Because the writers clearly couldn't think of any other life changing or character building arc than impregnation.
