It starts next Monday, 3/13, 9PM EDT (check local listing--it'll be
on right after "Quantum Leap"). It'll run all next week, then will skip a
week (movie marathon week of 3/20) and pick up after that.

Hey is this the series PROBE also known as SEARCH which
followed the TV movie PROBE, with John Gielgud? I saw it
on BBC2, and thought it was really DOCTOR WHOish.

*THAT* "PROBE" was *never* a series. "PROBE" was the title of the
pilot movie; major roles were Hugh O'Brian and Elke Sommer, with
Burgess Meredith as the Spider, and John Gielgud as the Guest Villain.
"SEARCH" was the title of the series, which starred O'Brian,
Anthony Franciosa, and Doug McClure in rotating parts. (An
attempt was made to pump up Angel Tompkins' part, so that she
could be used as a sort of "GIRL FROM P.R.O.B.E.," but the
scripts weren't good enough to carry it.)
The "PROBE" *series* was a short-lived SkiFfy/drama about a purported
genius who investigates, explains, debunks, and so on; and it only
lasted a half-dozen shows because the scriptwriters were too danged
dumb to write coherent SF, and kept trying to make it into a "lookit
da weirdo" comedy. The *conception* was laudable, but dumb people
without a tech background can't write solid scripts about SMART
people with coherent technology as a major plot element.
It's an amusing show, but not a good one.

Was that the one Parker Stevens starred in?
Wasn't the character based on one of Asimov's?
I thought this show rather good if it is.

Yes. (If you call that "starring.")

No. (They tried, but missed.)

It isn't, but it's a free country, so enjoy.
