Day 1: Theme song from a favorite TV show

Once I decided to dig into my memories of all the Canadian television shows I've enjoyed over the years, a whole score of delightful new possibilities came flooding into my brain. I'm kind of disappointed in myself for not thinking of this wonderful slice of Canadiana right away. I rewatched all of these episodes during the pandemic. They hold up!

Day 2: Excellent TV show theme song, regardless if you like the show

Multiple female voices for 2 points. Total so far 8

For the record, growing up this and another show which I will not name for fear of angering the powers-that-be, which broadcast back to back, were my favorite shows. If this was bingable on a streaming service, I wouldn’t leave the house until I watched all of them.

Attempting to go in a completely different direction from last night's song choice...
I've listened to this theme song so many times and I still can't decide whether it's a surrealistic deconstructionist work of absolute genius, or just abject foolishness (most likely about dead centre between those polarities)... but all I can say with certainty is that this song will be stuck in my head for days. "How do you like the theme to Garry's show?"

It's Garry Shandling's Show

Theme song for Weeds. Through some of the seasons they have a variety of great artists cover the intro song. Hard to choose so I’m just going to go with the songwriter herself.

Malvina Reynolds - Little Boxes


Also… I love this show.

(would have posted this on Day 1 but I forgot!) +2 points for 2 women. eta: +1 point granted from the thread-god! 🤗

So I'm going to stretch the spirit of rule a bit.

Theme songs are not necessarily the same as a Leitmotif, the song played at the intro to a TV show. Theme songs can be a song used during the show/film, take for example Hedwig's Theme from Harry Potter, or Imperial March from Star Wars. Anyone would argue that they are the embodiment of their respective films.

I won't go into detail, but growing up I had serious issues coming to terms with who I was. Something that helped me was the Rrrriot Grrrl scene, women in punk, and after that came the post-punk era.

Enter: Tegan And Sara. Queer icons, both gay. Their openness gave me confidence, their music inspired me, and they were obviously my first celebrity crushes.

In 2022 their memoirs were turned into a TV show: High School. It's an excellent show (and an excellent book) made special because it's about two gay women growing up, but it doesn't focus on their sexuality. It's a trait of theirs, but it is not the onus of their being. In fact, I don't believe it's even mentioned. It's normalized. This is so very very rare when showcasing gay women in media.

In the show we get to watch T&S as they discover music, and take their first wobbly steps into composing.
So I'd like to present one of their first songs, the theme of the show, and their lives distilled:

Tegan And Sara - Hey, I'm Just Like You.
Sometimes, you get so tired of pretending like you're so strong
Everyone you love has gone and decided that you're so wrong

:heart::heart: Thank you! I really hope you'll enjoy it. Bonus trivia: when searching for actors to play them, T&S found a pair of identical twins on tiktok. They had no singing background, no acting background, but T&S absolutely loved them. They coached them in acting, singing, everything, and brought them on to the show. And they killed it. There's something raw about them that just enhances how awkward T&S were themselves.

C’mon C’mon ~ The Von Bondies

This was the theme song for the show “Rescue Me” with Dennis Leary playing a firefighter and all the drama and chaos surrounding him. I liked the show and also really like the song.
