"Probe" was a 1988 American television pilot and subsequent TV series created by TV detective writer William Link and science fiction maestro Isaac Asimov which aired on ABC. The pilot and series starred Parker Stevenson as a misanthropic genius who solved high tech crimes.

Austin James, played by Stevenson, was a misanthropic and eccentric scientific genius who solves complex puzzles and crimes through his scientific expertise.

Some episodes of the show revolved around Serendip, a company founded by James that he's largely disassociated himself from. Mickey Castle, his Serendip-appointed secretary, plays Watson to James' Holmes.

The show began as a mid-season replacement and was canceled after a two-month run of the pilot and six episodes. The show has been considered by fans to be ahead of its time. Entire episodes have made its way on the internet through popular video-sharing sites such as Youtube.
