This is for Trope Launch Pad, not YKTS.

The trope is Mad Libs Dialogue, but I'm looking for shows that use this specific one that is a command that begins with "computer, ..."

Are you referring to the show "Automan"?

This was very commonly used in the various Star Trek series (listing all the examples would take far too long).

Futurama did it as well, an example being Kif Gets Knocked Up Another Notch. The line was "Computer: Run program Kif 1". In this case it would seem to have been a reference to the Star Trek use (the line was spoken on a holoshed, a clear reference to the Star Trek holodeck).
