- Theme to the pilot for short lived series PROBE (Aka "SEARCH") following the exploits of high-tech investigations company World Securities which uses agents, called Probes, to solve various international cases. The series had a revolving cast of Hugh O'Brian, Tony Franciosa and Doug McClure.
- Komedie
When TV shows had opening sequences, actual music, people who were good on screen and credits someone could read.
Again I say, the music of Dominic Frontiere MUST be explored!!!!!!!!!
The LONGEST opening of any TV show...and I'm happy for it!!!
When a main or end title runs THIS long there's a possibility the program's final cut ran "short." Thank goodness Dominic's score is a gem to listen to -- normal length or extended.
This was the intro for the TV movie Probe, (starring only Hugh O'Brian) which later became the TV series 'Search', with O'Brian and two other stars.
Beautiful Score
@@chuckhampton142 I liked all the guys!
The music makes me want to watch this show! Dominic rules.
I always liked this show, and LOVED the theme. I remember liking the O'Brian episodes most (Angel Tompkins was a big reason, I believe). Upon seeing them all again a few years ago, I actually like the Franciosa episodes most. They were the most intricate and well written/intelligent ones. I never understood why this show only lasted one season.
I remember Ms. Tompkins threatening to "melt down his 'earjack' with some ultrasonic feedback", if he kept it up with the 'Rhine Maiden'!"
Simple reason why Search had one season: It couldn't beat William Conrad!
Another Great TV Theme from Dominic Frontiere! Love this show. I was lucky enough to have purchased the complete series on dvd a few years ago...
Anthony Mamo ME TOO
Anthony Mamo Shame a tv soundtrack wasn’t made!!!!
Same here. I never missed an episode, from the pilot to the final show.
This show should've been a massive success and run for years. The premise was first class.
@A Mori Awesome! Yes, I love watching classics of that era. Sure takes you back. :)
Hugh O'Brian,Doug McClure,Tony Franciosa RIP.
This is nice. The graphics are tops as is Dominic Frontiere's full, rich score.
Another comment is due re its unusual length. I will offer that the studio gave respect to its audience by unusually and generously showing each of the performer's image and name. Furthermore, the gesture pays respect to the "artists," the performers appearing in "Probe." On shows like Aaron Spelling's "The Love Boat" and most of Quinn Martin's one-hour dramas we saw images of the main guest stars (and on QM's shows HEARD their name via announcement, too), but never the co-stars or lesser "players."
What a great show. TBS ran this pilot as a midday movie in ‘82, and my father recorded it. That’s how I discovered this amazing series. I now have both the pilot and the complete series on DVD.
Ditto here. 12 episodes down, 11 to go.
They ran it through the 1990s as a regular filler movie.
I can’t get enough of this tv show theme song.
Although I have never come across this series. But the composition for the opening titles is superb! Not to mention the same composer also wrote wonderful music for the TV series Vegas which I am fond of watching. A fan and an admirer from Pakistan.
Oneofthegreatestthemesofalltime!,thankyou!
RIP Dominic Frontiere. :(
efrem1 He will be sorely missed! Phenomenal Composer! If only someone could do a tribute to him! A concert and recording perhaps?
@@deacondavis5098 if he were John Williams.
No one ever made more exciting TV music than DF❤
@@ricksuegreen1753 AGREED
Those futuristic fond letters were the best. The first pilot episode involved that valuable diamond.
There should have been a soundtrack made from this tv show!!!!!
This is and was a favorite tv theme of mine. And I enjoyed the show too. It was cool and awesome for this time in television and if I remember it came on tv on a Friday night. I could stay up watch the show and I remember the theme because it sounded cool and it became a part of my music likes and history. Thank you for posting this and bring back the childhood memories of a kid whose music listening and tastes were still forming.
Composed by the often overlooked Dominic Frontier!
To those of us who are aware of his superb output for The Outer Limits and Stoney Burke, not overlooked!
@@michaelschramm1064 or aware of the great film score for On Any Sunday!
True science fiction, imagine a camera that could fit into a ring?
Excellent music
Loved this theme song!
Before reality tv and computer generated rubbish, we were fortunate to have a show like search /probe, unique in many ways, the first to have 3 rotating lead characters, each in their own way as likeable as the other, and in those times computers and the associated technology was there to serve us, not as it is today where the technologies have a tendancy to control us.
Actually it's the 2nd TV series to have three lead stars in rotation. The 1st was 'The name of the game' from 1968, starring Robert Stack, Gene Barry and....Tony Franciosa. As you may already know, Probe/Search started in 1972. I was 10 when it came out and I remember watching the Pilot movie 'Probe' on ITV in the UK, but we never got the 'Search' series over here. I guess ITV passed up the chance to show it. Maybe it was too expensive for them at the time. A shame, as it looked good.
Would love some clips from the control room in action! Thanks for this one.
I was always fascinated with the way Tony Franciosa's voice was an almost-exact match for cartoon cat Snagglepuss. As well as the standard stranger-than-fiction fascination with anyone who would willingly boink Shelley Winters.
Heavens to Mergatroyd!
I was ten years old when this series air
Very simply, cool.
God, this brings a tear to my eye. I'm 52 and saw this brilliant but brief series in 1974 when I was 10. Can someone please inform me as to how I can purchase this set on DVD without having to go online. Incidentally, I'm from New Zealand. Many thanks.
Warner Archive has it but possibly not in a format for your country. An Irish fan said it was not avalible in his countries format. here is the link so you can check it out. www.wbshop.com/products/search-the-complete-series-mod
Try Amazon
Just buy a multi region player.
This is available from amazon/eBay. (Ntsc format).
Thank you.
An early show that somewhat indirectly predicted the INTERNET.
Also smartwatches😃
Albert Popwell...from the Dirty Harry movies! "I've gots to know!"
Yep, and the pimp in "Magnum Force", Big Ed Mustapha in "The Enforcer," and Horace King in "Sudden Impact." RIP, Albert.
WOW VERRY GOOD CHANEL STEVE THANKS
MASTERPIECE
Awesome Theme!, from a simple time when our food was more natural and women didn't have fake bodies etc & they were classy and pleasant.
"Long, lingering look at Miss Sommer's departure, as Probe's EYEBALLS, FALL OUT!"
"Keep it up with the Rhine Maiden, Lockwood, and I'll melt down your ear jack, with some ultrasonic feedback!"
I loved watching this series and TV.
And I loved that song too.
That series could well come back. The warnner channel could do that.
How good it would be!
Some great character actors in the show!
The music after 1:55 became the Search theme.
Steven Otero Someone should do a recording of Dominic Frontiere’s work!!!!!!
For a moment lets put John Williams to one side and let's take a listen to the master- Dominic Frontiere.
Agreed. Watched the hard-to-find Charlton Heston drama NUMBER ONE recently, and it has a fantastic score by Frontiere. Very much in the Count Basie relaxed big-band jazz style. Absolutely superb.
@@SteveTheMovieGuy1 Hi Steve. Yes that's a rare one. Haven't seen that since the 1980's where it was last shown.
I will definitely check it out, sounds great.
There is a radio channel in London called Classic Fm, they have a film night once a week, but unfortunately a total John Williams love-in.
The guy on the show thinks he's an expert, sadly there is a huge hole in his musical vocabulary and it makes me very very angry that the name Dominic Frontiere is not in that musical vocabulary.
These people think music began and ended with John Williams, they just haven't got a clue, they need guys like us as musical consultants.
John Williams did a great score for Doug McClure's second TV series, Checkmate. Back then he was Johnny Williams.
Excellent
That is one LARGE cast!
Would you believe high tech users Honey West PI agency->founders of World Securities(Probe agency)S.E.A.R.C.H.->leads to Person Of Interest?
Sad to tell you all that Hugh O' Brian playing Hugh Lockwood in the 1972 tv series "Search" and the tv pilot "Probe" has died this week at age 91 cause of death unknown,, he will be missed. RIP Lockwood probe out!!!!
A show like this .....when I was so young watching these shows......they were so slick and professional....I really believed that the world was under control. Seriously. I thought the world was getting better, and better. No really, I'm being serious.
Series creator Leslie Stevens also di The Outer Limits.
Kudos to Attila George de Lado and John Christopher Strong! These guys NEVER get the credit they deserve (no pun intended!). Oh, and of course, the maestro, the one and only DOMINIC FRONTIERE!
Musicón!!! Operación rescate!!!!
Gangsta
Saludos se consigue en Dvd se llama Operación Rescate
Typical músic of my childwood!!!
Was this a pilot movie? Or was it a series? If it was, then which episodes was Elke Sommer in?
This was the pilot. The series was rebranded as SEARCH.
I grew a beard during this intro. Wonder mhow long the closing credits run
What was that old luvvie, dear, dear Johnny Gielgud doing in this show?
quien sepa como conseguir esta serie de tv por aqui(youtube) hagamelo saber
Do you know how hard it is to search for something called 'Search' on the internet?
I type in 'Search the TV show.'
Albert Popwell was the black guy in all the dirty harry movies. clint liked him and got him work
Would not be surprised if UPN 9 had reruns of this shit. The true Warner Bros. network UPN was. And UPN 9 was the poppin Warner Bros. affiliate. More than the wack fucking WB.
I remember watching this series 1st run on TV..I downloaded the them using offmp3...offmp3.com and it sounds like a CD track!
What's equally poppin of this black shit - this poppin TV show - is that the blackez company made this shit - Warna Brothaz - that gave us "Merrie Melodies"/"Looney Tunes" - the blackest cartoon franchise eva (but I definitely mean the pre-Depatie/Freleng shorts way more as those shorts waz on fia, not knocking DePatie/Freleng and Seven Arts "Merrie Melodies"/"Looney Tunes" but the funniest-as-fuck cartoons came before them. Talking anything mid-1964 and earlier) - wouldn't even call them shits cartoons because the background were sloppy, like the creators were saw "Tom and Jerry" and "Woody Woodpecker" and said, "Fuck that shit we do what the fuck we want!"
lousy series but great theme by DF.
