Strictly average movie

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

I vividly remember watching this show every week. For the time the technology was pretty amazing. We were still using a good old rotary dial phone back then and no one even heard of a personal computer or miniature wireless surveillance cameras. That was even more technology than they used on Star Trek! Burgess Merideth was wonderful working in "Cameron Probe Control" and Doug McClure was probably my favorite agent. Today, technology has exceeded the tools used in this program but it would be great to see it brought back in a present day form using the technology we have now. If this program ever re-appears in some media format, I would love to see it again.

I don't remember a single plot from this series, so don't expect any spoilers! I was a big computer geek long before the personal computer (never mind the Internet) so this show got me where I lived. I haven't seen it in many, many years, so I have no idea what I'd think of it today. Obviously the technology would seem quaint, at best, but I recall the stories as being quite good. I'm afraid I'd laugh too much at their computers though (has anyone seen "Colossus: The Forbin Project" lately?) "Search" is definitely a candidate for a modern-day make-over though! It's "Mission: Impossible" tailor-made for the Internet Age...instead of a team that goes into a situation, a single person does...supported by a team somewhere else who have the world's information and expertise at their fingertips. The only question is, in this day and age, would the viewers be amazed at what the "agents" can do with the help of their geeky behind-the-scenes comrades, or would they just think "Big deal...anybody could do that stuff these days!"

"Search" changed my life. How? you ask? I thought it was so cool and gave me an interest in computers. Back in the 1970's middle class families had never even heard of computers, at least mine hadn't. At that point in my life, I was in need of a job and chose to try out the field of computers. Of course, back then, it was the BIG main frames. Now just about everyone has a laptop or PC. The actors were the greatest and I, like most of you, liked Burgess, Hugh, Doug and Tony. I always wondered why it was taken off the air. It was so interesting to me to watch Burgess sitting in front of his computer monitor, directing the agent that was in the field for that episode. Watching the tapes whirling around and the lights flashing and then all the amazing things that the agent could do with the touch of a button. It has been so long ago that I really am foggy as to what really happened in most of the shows but it changed my life forever. Didn't Hugh wear a necklace around his neck that he could talk to Burgess through? I really wish that they would re-run all the episodes so that I could tape them all.

Whilst the premise of "Search" was interesting, indeed somewhat foreshadowing "The Six Million Dollar Man" by a couple of years, i.e., people with bio-electronic enhancements, the very premise of it limited the show to running out of steam, ultimately. After all, how many things can you search for? Jewels, people, renegade SEARCH-systems scientists, etcetera? Eventually the plot becomes formula, which becomes dull. If they could have done more character development, or given the cast a better chance to act off each other, it might have lasted longer. Still, what was done was done well, until it got boring. Wouldn't mind seeing it in reruns again, though no doubt some things would seem somewhat dated, over thirty years later. Still, it is nice to remember when this show was "cool."
