Theme song was #1 the day I was born in 1971.

A high quality Definition episode WITH Soul Bossa Nova instead of that soundalike!?

[@NEPatriot]

And don't forget Mr. CFTO-TV, Dave Duvall.

14:55 - 15:03 You told him to say it slow, he's doing it!

[@jeprice08]

18:33 - 18:38 That is the very first time I've ever seen that being done. No letters on the board and yet she got it for the maximum amount of dollars.

When did the silhouette of the Go-Go dancer during the introduction disappear?

[@GeorgeMaster-xg7lg]

The lady from BC sounds like she's from Scotland or Ireland.

[@yaywhewclips242]

only shown in Canada?

This once and for all confirms "Soul Bossa Nova" as the original Definition theme.

September 16. 1983 was a friday

One thing about "Definition" is that this was whenever Jim Perry wasn't dealing out the cards on "Card Sharks" and making sales and giving away over $100,000 in cash and prizes on "$ale of the Century."

Jim was on both ends of the spectrum one of the most generous game shows of its era in sale of the century and one of the cheaper ones in definition at the same time.
