I haven't watched it in ages (because it only lasted two seasons and even though I have the first season on DVD, I really haven't gotten around to watching it much) but I'm pretty sure that Joan Of Arcadia passes, at least in several episodes, as it seems to be a fairly female-centered show. Then again, there are some exchanges that could be construed as thorny since God comes to Joan in different forms, and even in a female form God could still be construed as male...
Then again, to me the Bechdel Test seems incomplete because of its essentialism. What if there's an exchange between two women who have very different genders, or people that are technically of opposite sexes but similar genders?
