Queer As Folk was a tv show in the UK that ran from February 23rd, 1999 to February 22nd, 2000. In 1999, Cowlip Productions, Tony Jonas Productions, Temple Street Productions, and others decided to remake the series for the United States, which ended up airing on Showtime. The show ran from December 3, 2000 to August 7, 2005. It was very popular and is still watched today (19 year old me saying it’s my favorite drama show).

Something about the show that’s noticeable is the soundtrack. It is god awful. It’s knockoff music and it’s cringe all the way. I ended up finding out that licensed music was in the show when it was airing. I looked more into this and Redditors have said songs like Let’s Hear It for the Boy and Can’t Fight This Feeling Anymore were present. Obviously the reason these were removed from streaming services is because of licensing. I cannot find any footage of the show with original soundtrack. I was told that apparently it’s on the DVD’s, but people say otherwise. There are websites that show you what songs were in which episode, but no footage. Link for that will be attached to this post.
