    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The pilot was a TV movie titled Probe (1972), which was intended to be carried over to the series. However Albert Burke took issue with the use of this title, as it was the same as his widely seen syndicated series Probe (1962). His objection carried weight with NBC as he had a long standing relationship with the network, filmed his shows at their New York studios, and had served as their Educational Broadcasting consultant. Consequently, not only did this series air as "Search," but the pilot was so re-titled for the summer network rerun and subsequent overseas syndication.

    Search pre-empted too much, maybe why it failed
    As I recall, this show wasn't given a chance. I know that in the San Francisco Bay Area it was preempted 5 times ( ! ) in it's original run, including for 2 shows on the energy crisis !!

    I loved the show, but the best episodes were the one's with Hugh O'Brien and I can still hear Burgess Meredith going practically insane and yelling " Lockwood ! Do you copy ! " and Lockwood ignoring him.

    The episodes with Doug McClure, and Franciosa weren't as good.

    I had a terrible crush on Angel Tompkins, too.

    A guy in Palos Verdes Peninsula was selling copies of the Probe scanner. Wish I still had one but I lost it.
