The Courtship of Eddie's Father

The Computer (1x5)

Air date: Oct 15, 1969

Norman convinces Tom to try computer dating - to "bravely submit to mechanizing his libido" - in order to get first-hand information for the magazine article Norman is writing. Tom's computer date, Diane, turns out to be a better match for Eddie than for him, however. Since Eddie is so fond of her, Tom decides he should give her another chance - to see if they are "computable". While Tom stays home with a cold, Diane takes Eddie to her office to see the computer and lets him fill out a dating questionnaire for demonstration. When the computer matches Eddie to her, she and Tom realize why they had been paired up, also.
