This, the first of seven TG episodes James Sheldon directed, has an interesting concept, then very timely, where Donald and Ann both try computer dating, he for an article, she to see if she'll end up with someone like him but flawless, as he seems to have with his computer date who's somewhat like her.  The episode itself has two flaws that bring it down from a B or higher.  One is that Donald's date has been distractingly dubbed, and since she's not that remarkable-looking by modern standards, I don't see why they couldn't have found an equally pretty actress with a better voice.  The other is that Ruth Buzzi makes her first of five appearances as neighbor Pete Peterson (which I think was the name of a minor character, also female, on Gidget) and since we've never seen her before, it seems like she's just there to make Ann's date be temporarily disappointed.  Considering that Rich Little (of course doing impressions) is really not that much better looking than Buzzi, this seems unnecessary.  Note, Ann's white dress for her date looks like the sort of late '60s wedding minidress that would not be handed on to the next generation.
