Yeah, yeah I know. Jim Perry was from Camden, New Jersey. But my point is that Definition, the show he hosted on Canada's CTV from 1974 to 1989, was definitely a Canadian institution at the time. I remember vividly watching this either during the summer or if I was sick at home, as it aired daily at 12:30 following The Flintstones on CFRN in Edmonton. And it sharpened my preteen brain more than school did at the time. Not really blaming the school, but the medication I had to be on at the time.
Following a five-year battle with cancer, Perry died Thursday at the age of 82. Rest well sir. You were a part of our national fabric and will be missed.
