is this a serious question? a show that centers the feelings, perspective and problems of guys and seems to speak to an audience of guys, for the most part.

if I called "Emily in Paris" a "girly show", would people comment "what do mean" with two question marks, lol??

If nothing else those are just two of the weirdest examples to choose as "guy shows." Like sure both those shows prominently center around male main characters but they don't necessarily adhere to traditional male stereotypes and there are plenty of women who enjoy them. HIMYM especially had two main female characters that were just as prominent as any of the men. Like, presenting Scrubs as the antithesis to Emily in Paris is truly insane lol. If you said Sons of Anarchy or 24 or something maybe. Or Home Improvement or The League if you're limiting it to sitcoms.
