Parker Stevenson was the eccentric genius scientist, Austin James, and Ashley Crow as his secretary, Michelle. Probe had good acting, but I think the writing was a bit over the head of the general public and people just didn't get it. The main actors were perfect together, and the storylines were original. The writing of Isaac Asimov was a welcome change from the usual TV shows. This was a fun show to watch, with complex mysteries, plus some light-hearted moments. This show was cancelled before it's time. It only lasted one season, but the stories are memorable.
