Ok, I haven't thought about this show and all of sudden I'm listening to an internet radio station that pumps out George Benson's Breezin'. I never knew it as Breezin' just the damned theme song to this show. I remember Brian being a very unctuous, smarmy guy and me never being able to sit through it (I was also 8-12 at the time and had no patience for that kinda crap)
I also remember Martin Short (fellow Canadian) doing a dead-on impersonation of Brian Linehan (a man more tanned than even George Hamilton).
Anyhow, just hearing those 12 flute notes unlocked a whole treasure trove of childhood lunchtime memories.
For those of you who group in the Toronto area you'll remember City Lights was on City TV (what was Channel 79, now Channel 57, cable 7). Miss my Toronto.
