Order1968-04-08, ABC, 28 min.
"The Great Mating Game" surveys the singles scramble in an affluent-and morally relaxed-America. On view: apartment houses "for singles only" and preferred meeting spots for unmarried; a discotheque in Los Angeles, a bar in New York and a resort hotel, where a singles ski weekend drew nearly 3000 young adults. Electronic dating is examined at a computer party. There were 1,300,000 marriages to be consummated in the United States in 1968. In one poignant and revealing segment Jack McKennes, of the musical rock group ORPHEUS, describes the loneliness of a hardworking musician's life. The song "Never Seen Love Like This" is sung by the group. Narrator: Jean Shepherd.
