I can't believe I forgot about Modern Family. For 11 seasons, Mitch and Cam were exactly the kind of couple I was talking about.
I don't necessarily need to have Beverly at the center of the action; the series is called "Picard", not "Crusher". I just want the character and the actress to have a meatier role. Looks like she's getting it.
In the last episode, Bev had a dramatic confrontation with Jean Luc about why she kept Jack a secret, AND she saved the captain of the Titan when the ship's doctor inexplicably failed to spot internal bleeding. (Is that right?) Pretty good stuff!
Let's compare that to the four TNG movies:
In Generations, she was dunked in a holographic ocean by Data.
In First Contact, her role in the series--yelling at Jean Luc when he's acting like an idiot--was given to Alfre Woodard.
In Insurrection, Bev and Deanna talked about their boobs.

In Nemesis, all her significant scenes were cut.
This series is definitely an improvement.
