Computer dating services. It seems like every time a sitcom has an episode that centers around characters using a computer dating service, it never, if not almost never, works out. Has anybody ever noticed this?

Yeah, like in Threes Company with Jack and Janet. They ended up being put together.

The Facts of Life had one.....

Didn't Work Out

(mostly.....Blair & Jo did, supposedly, become friends with their dates afterwards....but the date itself was a disaster)

Don't forget that episode of "The Beverly Hillbillies" where Miss Jane signed up for a computer-dating service...Or that episode of "That Girl"...or that segment on "Love, American Style"...or two or three episodes of "The Simpsons"...or...
