Concept
Search (American TV series)
Summary
Search is an American science fiction series that aired on Wednesday nights on NBC at 10 pm ET, from September 1972 to August 1973. It ran for 23 episodes, not including the two-hour pilot film originally titled Probe. When picked up for series production, the title had to be changed because Probe was the name of an existing PBS series.
In the UK the series aired on BBC1 under the title Search Control.
In Spain the series aired on TVE 1 under the title Investigación (Investigation).
In Italy the series aired under the title 'SEARCH'. It was called "Operación Rescate" (Rescue Operation) in Argentina. In Brazil the series aired on TV Globo under the title "Controle Remoto" (Remote Control).
The show was created by Leslie Stevens, and produced by Stevens, Robert H. Justman, John Strong and Anthony Spinner. The high concept was described as "science fiction in today's world" and the episodes featured many high-tech elements which are now considered common in current science fiction shows.
TOC
The series centers on World Securities Corporation, a high-tech international private investigation company that employs field operatives—the elite of whom are aided by implanted audio receivers and who carry Scanners, tiny video camera/telemetry units which can be attached to tie clips or other jewelry. The most common method is to wear the Scanner on a ring, enabling it to be discreetly aimed.
Each episode features one of three primary agents on a particular investigation, which often have political or organized crime elements.
Search finished in the Nielsen ratings for the 1972 -1973 TV Season with a 14.6 Average Audience. It was rated #63 out of #75 shows for that season.
Search was featured in the November 1972 edition of TV Guide, with an illustration of the three actors playing the show's "Probes" on the cover.
