* ''Series/ShiningTimeStation'': Kara and Becky. Their Halloween costumes (train engineer vs. PrincessClassic) make it clear which is which in their first appearance. Their everyday clothes are subtler, but if you pay attention to the series, Kara almost always dresses and acts more boyishly.

Added DiffLines:

* ''Series/BetterCallSaul'' has a downplayed example between Kim Wexler (more tomboyish) and Paige Novick (more girly). Both Kim and Paige wear a lot of feminine attire when on the clock as lawyers, but with Kim it's more reserved, while Paige wears significantly more necklaces, earrings, and other jewelry than Kim and wears skirts, dresses, and high heels even more often than Kim does. She seems to indulge more in wearing feminine clothes and accessories while Kim sees it more as a necessity to appear professional, while actually being fairly tomboyish at heart. As far as we know, Paige also lacks the mischievous and rule-breaking side that [[ThrillSeeker Kim displays in the later seasons of the show]]. That said, Paige is still an assertive career woman with BoyishShortHair, meaning Kim and Paige could be seen as a TomboyWithAGirlyStreak and a GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak respectively.

** Penny is also the tomboy to Emily Sweeney's girly girl in seasons 7-9. It's subtle, but Emily is more outwardly romantic and prone to acting mushy in her relationship with Raj than Penny is with Leonard. She also appears to be a little more emotionally sensitive than Penny, based on how hurt she was by Sheldon's comments in one episode. It also helps that Emily had [[LongHairIsFeminine long hair]] while Penny's hair was [[BoyishShortHair short in that era of the show]].

* ''Series/LoveIsBlind'': In season 1, both the main women with crushes on Barnett- Amber the former tank machanic and Jessica the regional manager. Amber is a self-proclaimed tomboy who is OneOfTheGuys, loves beer and sports, and likes to make sex jokes. Jessica can come off as a GirlyGirlWithATombouStreak with her love for the Cubs, but compared to Amber is much more of a Girly Girl with her fashionable look, loves wine, prefers to have an emotional connection before having sex, and is neat and elegant. (When she's not a [[EmbarrassingNickname Messica]], that is.)
