waverman45 I was in high school when "Search" ran and thought it was the coolest show around! It was way ahead of it's time. I'd love to see it re imagined and with the right cast and writing could be an excellent series. Burgess Meredith was perfect as Cameron, his speech patterns owed to classical theater training. And let's not forget the music, some of the best TV music around. There's a spot on the web where you can see low quality episodes but i'd still like to see a DVD set of the series. www. probe control.com has tons of info on the series. As for a film version, if they can make "Underdog" they can make this! As long as they stay true to the original it would be a way cool movie! Lets get a letter writing campaign started!!!

alan_leigh I seem to recall that there were THREE agents of Probe in "Search, or "Search Control", (as it was called here in the UK) and not just the two mentioned here already?Hugh O'Brien and Anthony Franciosa have both been included in several previous comments, but wasn't there a third agent who was played by Doug McLure, (the name of whom escapes me.) Am I correct in this, or is it just a warped memory and I'm confusing the actors concerned with another programme completely? I was about twelve years old at the time "Search Control" was first broadcast and I remember being totally enthralled by the sophistication and creative ingenuity of the technology involved.For me, Burgess Meredith stole the show completely each week, but it was Hugh O'Brien who was the most interesting of the three agents, and three actors who played them.The show was absolutely fantastic and well ahead of it's time!!!

murasakiotto As a brat raised in LA during the mid 60s, I was mad about UNCLE, I Spy, The Avengers, THE Cat, all the good old TV spy and action shows. Returning to Japan in '68 was a big culture change, especially the dull and boring TV shows (not much change in 2006, even worse). It was around '73 that one of the network here aired 5 or 6 episodes of Search. It was called Purobu Sousa Shirei (Probe Criminal Investigations Command). It was dubbed in Japanese (no bilingual TV at that time), and I can't remember any story, but the brilliant titleback and the superb theme music is something that I wish to see and hear again. One scene I recall is a bird's eye view of an orange Nissan Z car driven by one of the Probe agent. I thought it was so cool! Oh, and did I mention Angel Tompkins, she was so beautiful! It seems difficult to see this series even in the USA now, but I am sure that there are thousands of "hidden Search fans" in the world. I will definitely buy the whole series if sold on DVD.

hrcooley I learned of this show even before it aired on NBC back in 1972 (prepublicity), and decided I liked it even before seeing it. One thing that I thought was really cool was how Probe Control communicated to the agents via an implanted audio pickup through radio telescope communications. Of course, Burgess Meredith was essentially the show stealer every time; not many other actors could give an engaging performance sitting at a computer panel. He had this funny way of adjusting his micro headset and almost punching his console when flustered. I managed to record many episodes onto a handy cassette machine. A couple of years ago a local TV station rebroadcast the pilot episode, co-starring John Gielgud (sp?), and I caught the whole thing on VHS. When they decided to cancel the series, I was actually put out enough to send in a letter of protest. (Well, it was a perfect show for a 12-year-old boy). After all, it had cool effects, mostly involving things that could be seen in other parts of the spectrum, picked up by the agents' ring-bound scanners.
