The show was first produced in  Vancouver ,  British Columbia ,  Canada  by the  CBC  at  CBUT  from 1980 to 1982. A second edition of the show was also produced in the early 1990s. The popular series was syndicated internationally in  United States ,  Philippines ,  Malaysia ,  Indonesia  and Singapore  for years.
