Probe(1988)

Probe is a 1988 science fiction television series created by mystery writer William Link and Isaac Asimov that aired on ABC. Parker Stevenson stars as Austin James, a brilliant but misanthropic tech genius who investigates high-tech crimes. Ashley Crow plays Mickey Castle, his new secretary assigned by Serendip, the company Austin founded but refuses to manage. The dynamic between the pair mirrors Holmes and Watson as they navigate complex cases together. The two-hour pilot and subsequent series ran for just six episodes before cancellation, making it a short-lived but notable entry in 1980s sci-fi television. Despite its brief run, Probe has found new audiences through online platforms where full episodes remain available.
