    • 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.

    My all-time favorite show
    Its a shame quality, well written and intelligent shows like SEARCH don't last. Without a doubt, and to this day, it is my alltime fav show. I think it was just too far ahead of its time. I think the show could be done today, but I think the producers would be to tempted to put "pretty boys" as the agents, instead of older, more cerebral actors. I think I would cast Anthony Zerbe as V.C. Cameron, Steven Weber as C.R. Grover, Ted Danson as Lockwood (yes I think Ted could handle a semi-dramatic role), and Eric Roberts as Nick Bianco. It would be one cool show....IF...the writing was of an intelligent quality. The original show, as well as the pilot movie were awesome!!!
