The Bechdel Test for women in movies is simply described in the video. I don’t think we have the same problem in television series (just sometimes in story rooms). Am I wrong?

You make an excellent point, but one has to think that this “short-coming” has nothing to do with bias against women because take a look at great TV shows – they DO pass this test and they have huge a viewership – e.g. The Good Wife, 24, Grey’s Anatomy, Lost, True Blood, Lie to Me…. etc.
