That's so strange. An old woman I'd never seen before who looked like she knew me handed me one of these and said "Come back to me"...
(I just watched season 2 of Childrens Hospital which referenced that scene. Lots of other fun movie references...the Jefferson Institute from Coma, the live-TV finale from Tootsie...)
For me, besides from the 123-punch of YOLT, OHMSS and Diamonds, 1980-81 is pretty much peak Barry.

By 1982 a good friend had been urging me for years to watch SCTV, which NBC-TV aired latenights on Fridays. Well, that was prime dating time for me; plus I didn't own a VCR and didn't like Saturday Night Live, so I incorrectly assumed SCTV would be more of the same. But when I finally gave the show a try, I was stunned to find that the writing was so clever and layered, and the entire cast was not only talented but so versatile.
Yet the topper was that even though my friend is a fellow film-music fan (and a musician himself), he hadn't given me a clue about SCTV's repeated reliance on cues from different soundtrack albums now and then, rather than generic stock music: CHINATOWN behind a detective sketch, THE WIND AND THE LION for some segment I don't identify now.
And for a running soap-opera parody, SCTV used the theme from SOMEWHERE IN TIME. Those specific recurring sketches within the series were at the same time hilarious and, by the initially unexpected injection of John Barry -- beautiful.

I'm surprised people are discussing the use of film music (particularly Goldsmith) on SCTV but not mentioning how one of his Twilight Zone TV scores (Nervous Man in a Four-Dollar Room, I think) was used repeatedly as "3D music."

You're right -- but for me that was a delayed-reaction laugh, because I never recognized what SCTV's recurring "3D music" was until a few years later, when Varese Sarabande issued their Twilight Zone LP containing that particular Goldsmith score. (Then I laughed from recognition in front of my turntable, instead of the TV!)

I also had no idea that was JG/TZ until those Varese Twilight Zone releases.
