"Checking All the Right Boxes" is about a couple who meets through a computerized Jewish matching service, a "high tech yenta" for the early 90s. Donna, a 34-year-old dental hygienist living in San Francisco, decided to fill out the dating service's questionnaire and see what comes of it. Soon, a printout arrives at her apartment, listing three Jewish men she's matched with, along with their phone numbers. When it came to matching with Joe, timing, it turns out, was everything. 

Read about other successful matches that came from the Jewish Singles Computer Service, from the J archives.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
