* RealSongThemeTune: "Soul Bossa Nova" by Quincy Jones (his music seemed to always end up on [[Series/NowYouSeeIt word games]], it seems). Thanks to the popularity of ''Definition'', the song became cemented in Canadian pop culture of the era -- even before it became better-known internationally as the ''Film/AustinPowers'' theme song. Creator/MikeMyers chose to use the song because he remembered it from ''Definition''.

* NoBudget: The show was ridiculed by outsiders (well, specifically, Americans, given that cities like Buffalo could pick up stations from Toronto and the surrounding area) for how cheap the prizes were. Seriously, the consolation prize for losing the BonusRound was $10. Only if you made it to the yearly Tournament Of Champions could you have an opportunity to win something half-decent, such as a car or trip.

** In tribute to the show, "Soul Bossa Nova" got a SampledUp hip-hop version, "My Definition of a Boombastic Jazz Style", by Dream Warriors on their album ''And Now the Legacy Begins''. This version became AscendedFanon in a promo celebrating CTV Toronto's 50th anniversary, which featured clips from the show.
