You can still catch many of the Hallmark Hall of Fame shows if you look for them. They are also available on CD's.

Now about dating yourself-------

I only date myself because:

You already know the answers to all those awkward "first date" questions.

It saves on unnecessary chit chat and allows you to enjoy your meal.

It's less expensive.

You are guarantee you will go home with your date.

When you do get home there is never that "will I get invited in" question in your mind.

There are none of those awkward moments of "should I hold the door or not?"

No worrying over should I pick up the check or ask if the date wants to go halvesies.

If you meet an old flame at the restaurant there are none of those embarrassing introductions to make.

The only down side is, in the morning you can't sneak out the door in horror to what you woke up next to.
