I also can't help but feel I'd like to find a sci-fi series that isn't quite so stuck in traditional gender roles. What better place to do it? I mean sure, they do bend them a bit here, but nothing that popular culture hasn't already done (The woman who can kick your ass, for example). I don't really imagine I'll find anything on television screens, though. That kind of transgression is totally plausible in an alien culture... but we're not making TV from the point of view of aliens. We're making TV from our point of view for our consumption. It's probably very telling in-and-of itself that I want to watch and read about such things so much because I have trouble imagining it on my own.
