History TwoGirlsToATeam / LiveActionTV

* ''Series/BlueHeelers'': This was the usual pattern from season 3 to 11 (not counting Chris, the civilian owner of the local pub): one female junior Constable (Dash, Jo, Susie, and Kelly) and one Senior Constable/Acting Sergeant/Sergeant (Maggie, Tess, Jo, and Susie). The pattern was broken with the introduction of Amy, the show's first female Detective.

* Shows in both the ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' and ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' franchises have featured two female rangers instead of just one depending on the year. ''Super Sentai'' in particular have started featuring two female rangers on each team since its 1984 incarnation ''Series/ChoudenshiBioman'', with periods where the franchise would switch back and forth between having just one female ranger per team ([[Series/ChoujuuSentaiLiveman 1988]]-[[Series/KousokuSentaiTurboranger 1989]], [[Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger 1992]]-[[Series/NinjaSentaiKakuranger 1994]] and [[Series/SeijuuSentaiGingaman 1998]]-[[Series/BakuryuuSentaiAbaranger 2003]]) and then going back to having two girls again ([[Series/ChikyuuSentaiFiveman 1990]]-[[Series/ChoujinSentaiJetman 1991]], [[Series/ChourikiSentaiOhranger 1995]]-[[Series/DenjiSentaiMegaranger 1997]] and almost all the current teams since [[Series/TokusouSentaiDekaranger 2004]]). Usually the two girls will wear Pink & Yellow, but other pairings have been used as well such as [[Series/DengekiSentaiChangeman Pink & White]] ([[Series/ShurikenSentaiNinninger done twice]]), [[Series/ChoujinSentaiJetman White & Blue]] ([[Series/DoubutsuSentaiZyuohger also done twice]]) and [[Series/MahouSentaiMagiranger Blue & Pink]].

** Lady and Nymeria are the only females of the six direwolves.

'''Rosa:''' Well you're not the only girl at the table anymore. We work at a police force full of dudes. We gotta have each other's backs, OK?
'''Amy:''' You saying you have my back?
'''Rosa:''' Yeah, I got your back. Don't smile; I'm still mad at you.
'''Amy:''' I thought we were having a moment.
'''Rosa:''' Moment's over. Shut up.

* ''Series/BrooklynNineNine'': Rosa and Amy are the only two female detectives on the squad (compared to the five men on the squad plus Chief Holt), although Gina (Holt's assistant) keeps the main cast from having this applied as well.

* ''Series/{{CSINY}}'' always had 2 women on the team: Stella and Aiden from the backdoor pilot thru the 2nd episode of season 2, Stella and Lindsay from episode 2.03 thru the end of season 6, Jo and Lindsay for the final three seasons.

* The original ''Series/StargateSG1'' had this in season 10 with Vala and Sam. A case could also be made for recurring character Dr Janet Fraiser being the second girl to Sam for most of the series- although she rarely accompanied SG-1 on missions off-world, she was a fairly consistent presence in the episodes set on Earth.

* On the TV show ''Series/{{CSI}}'', for the first eight seasons, Catherine and Sara were the only girls on the team. When Sara left, she was replaced by Riley, and then rejoined the team. Subverted in season 12, when Morgan and later Finn joined the team.

* ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'': The show started out following the trope to the letter, with the "two girls" being Kendra and Sara, on a team with seven boys. Kendra was written out at the end of Season 1, but Season 2 almost immediately introduced Amaya to take her place. This trope was broken in Season 3 when Zari joined the team, and by Season 4 it had become a GenderEqualEnsemble.

* ''Series/TheMentalist'' has Teresa Lisbon and Grace Van Pelt. Lisbon is even the team leader, but not the show's protagonist.

* ''Series/SiliconValley'': In the first season of the show, Monica is the [[TheSmurfettePrinciple only female]] involved in Pied Piper's day-to-day operations. In the second season, Pied Piper hires its second female employee, and only female engineer, Carla, who lampshades this early on: "One thing worse than being the only woman in a company is being one of only two... Everybody puts this super-weird pressure on you to be friends."

** Series/StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds'' averts the trope by having ''more'' female main cast members than male ones including Una, La'an, Ortegas, Uhura and Chapel in the first season and adding Pelia in the second. There only four main male characters with Pike, Spock, M'Benga and Hemmer but George Kirk appears often.

** The Boys initially have Kimiko as their sole female member. Beginning in season 2, Hughie's girlfriend Starlight becomes a clandestine member of the team, [[spoiler:and she eventually becomes a full-time member at the end of Season 3 upon quitting Vought]].
** The Seven has two female members at the start of season 1, with longtime member Queen Maeve being joined by newcomer Starlight. This appears to be {{invoked}}, as Starlight mentions that Vought is auditioning "girls" nationwide in search of Lamplighter's replacement, suggesting that the company's marketing decided to get with the times in terms of female representation. The trope is temporarily broken in Season 2 when Stan Edgar appoints Stormfront to the Seven as a replacement for Translucent, with Vought's marketers naturally playing this up to score diversity points. This lasts up until [[spoiler:Stormfront is exposed as a Nazi and is subsequently maimed by Homelander's son, forcing Vought to swiftly drop her]].

* ''Series/TheBoys2019'':
** In Season Two, the Boys became an example when [[spoiler:Starlight]] becomes a clandestine member, joining Kimiko.
** The Seven have this dynamic once Queen Maeve gets joined by Starlight. However, in Season 2 it's subverted after they get Stormfront, a third female member.

* ''Series/{{Angel}}'': In the third season, Fred was added to the cast of three guys (Angel, Wesley, and Gunn) and one girl (Cordelia). Cordelia was TheHeart of the group, Fred was both TheSmartGuy and TheChick. Although considering Wesley was already used mostly for his brain, Fred's role could be seen as primarily to act as the DamselInDistress that Cordelia could no longer realistically fulfill. Therefore playing this trope straight. Of course, this only lasted a season, and then more men were added.
* ''Series/{{Arrow}}'' has this in season two with Team Arrow containing Felicity Smoak (TheSmartGuy) and Sara Lance (who is a combination of TheChick and TheBigGuy).

* ''Series/SpaceAboveAndBeyond'' has two women in the main cast, [[TomboyAndGirlyGirl with opposing personalities]]. BrokenBird {{Tomboy}} Shane Vansen ends up as effectively [[NumberTwo executive officer]] of the 58th, while the more demure Vanessa Damphousse ends up as TheChick.

* ''Series/{{Leverage}}'' features this with [[ClassyCatBurglar Parker]] and [[ConMan Sophie]].

* ''Series/{{NCIS}}'': Abby and Kate in seasons 1 & 2, then Abby and Ziva in later seasons, and currently Abby and Bishop. Of course, for a while, there was also [[DaChief Director Jenny Shepherd]].

** 'Two {{Action Girl}}s, Yuna Shizuma and Himari Nanase in from GUTS Select in ''Series/UltramanTriggerNewGenerationTiga''.

** Averted in the new ''Series/PowerRangersDinoCharge'', which features the main 5-Ranger team with one female for the first time.

** While ''Series/UltramanGaia'' has the all-female Team Crow squadron, XIG's base operation crew has Atsuko Sasaki and Georgie Leland. Ayaka Ukai occasionally replaces one or the other in case of AbsenteeActor.
