Here’s a sucky statistic brought to you by the Director’s Guild of America: men directed 85% of all TV episodes last season. These stats include all network and cable scripted TV shows — about 3,100 episodes.

Paris Barclay and Lesli Linka Glatter chair the diversity efforts at the Guild which honestly suck. The guild should be embarrassed since the numbers barely moved from the previous year.

Here are some quotes from both of them.

Paris Barclay: “Our industry has to do better…In this day and age, it’s quite disappointing that so many shows failed to hire even a single woman or minority director during the course of an entire season — even shows whose cast and crew otherwise is notably diverse. And, ‘We just don’t know anybody,’ doesn’t cut it anymore — the pool of talented and experienced women and minority directors grows every year, and too many of these qualified, capable directors are still overlooked.”

Leslie Linka Glatter: “Like any director working today, I started out when somebody took a shot at hiring me…It’s how we all start out — male, female, white or minority. As somebody who has been an executive producer on a television series, I can tell you that increasing director diversity is as simple as hiring more women and more people of color. It’s time that every producer, every showrunner, every person responsible for making hiring decisions in episodic television take a careful and honest look at their hiring practices and ask themselves how they can do better.”

It’s not rocket science as Linka Glatter says, it’s just about having the will and making the decision. There are women ready to be hired.

Breaking the numbers down further here are the numbers which are compared with the previous year (which had been slightly amended)

Women of Color — 4% — up one point

White Women — 11% — unchanged

Men of color — 13% — down one point

White Men — 73% — up from 72%

Shockingly, there are some shows that hire not a single woman (or person of color) as a director and there are many that hire less than 15%.

We need to get a message stat to Amy Poehler that her show needs to hire more women directors and that same message needs to get to Liz Meriwether at New Girl.

But there are some shows that do use women directors and some only have women direct. These stats show that having a woman creator matters. There are a lot more shows on this list with women creators than there are on the hall of shame list. And women of color are at the top of this list. Also shows targeted at tweens and teens also have a good record. This is just another key example of how important it is to have a diversity of people in leadership positions.
