    n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

    A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

    "Search" changed my life. How? you ask? I thought it was so cool and gave me an interest in computers. Back in the 1970's middle class families had never even heard of computers, at least mine hadn't. At that point in my life, I was in need of a job and chose to try out the field of computers. Of course, back then, it was the BIG main frames. Now just about everyone has a laptop or PC. The actors were the greatest and I, like most of you, liked Burgess, Hugh, Doug and Tony. I always wondered why it was taken off the air. It was so interesting to me to watch Burgess sitting in front of his computer monitor, directing the agent that was in the field for that episode. Watching the tapes whirling around and the lights flashing and then all the amazing things that the agent could do with the touch of a button. It has been so long ago that I really am foggy as to what really happened in most of the shows but it changed my life forever. Didn't Hugh wear a necklace around his neck that he could talk to Burgess through? I really wish that they would re-run all the episodes so that I could tape them all.

    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.

    I used to watch "Search" all the time. It was as other viewers have said, part Spy, part sci-fi, part drama, and of course, a very watchable show. The Probe headquarters was so advanced, that they could use one of the Probe agent's ring for a camera, recorder, Geiger counter around radiation, and a reviver, if one of the agents was knocked out, on thrown overboard into the Sea(like one of the episodes.) What some viewers have failed to mention, is that Probe agents had a dental implant too, so they could click their teeth and send a signal if they were in trouble, and could not talk. The ear implant was ingenious, and could not be detected by the enemy. However; one episode where a Probe agent was captured by terrorists(or mad scientists)the enemy became aware of the implant and used it to send their signals into it, to cause pain, obedience, and to basically control the agent like a robot. However; Probe found the agent's location, and blocked the signals of the enemy, and even talked to the enemy, warning them, to release their prisoner, of Probe would bombard them with an electronic attack. Is the cool or what? Shows written today don't have this kind of writing, like Search. The Actors were well seasoned, and played their roles very well. Search was best when Probe control room was black with red lights shining down. Burgess Merridith played his part very well as the Head of Probe, and the Agents, Lockwood(Hugh O'Brian), Nic Bianco(Anthony Franciosa)(My favorite agent.) I loved it when Nic would say to the Probe headquarters; "We did it your way first; now we are doing it Nic Bianco's way." Search at times, was along the lines of Star Trek characters too. You could see them going through all the switching, and powering up for each Agent they sent out. Search ran from 1972-1973, but it spawned other shows that came later; like "LeFemme Nikita", movies like "Johnny Neumonic", and of course "24". Search was a pleasant alternative to the other shows available in 1972, on a WED night. Re-runs of the show would be welcome. Some of the episodes would appear very 70s, but in it's time, Search was with the times, if not ahead of the times.

    I remember watching this show when I was a kid. I really liked it back then, but the one thing I remember about it was Burgess Merideth's speech pattern. He had this way of over enunciating everything.To this day I can remember him saying "beeeee caaaareful LLLockwooooooddd".I also remember the female controller. She was the one who was always flirting with the agents.I can almost remember the music too, sort of like the old jewel heist music I think (but I could be confusing it with something else)
