Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })First aired in 1988, created by Isaac Asimov and Michael Wagner for ABC Television. An Amateur Sleuth series drawing upon the usual quirky detective and clueless assistant dynamic.Austin James (Parker Stevenson) is a reclusive genius and President of Serendip, a high-tech consulting firm he founded. However, he's too irritated by average people to come up with solutions for them and instead conducts random experiments in his warehouse full of devices (most of which he appears to have designed on his own) For Science!Michelle Castle (Ashley Crow), also known as Mickey, is his Beleaguered Assistant. Serendip hired her to be Austin's secretary and uses her to get Austin involved in things outside of his warehouse, like his job. Conventionally intelligent, she's the latest in a line of secretaries sent to Austin by the CEO of Serendip.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Together, these two encounter out-of-control experiments, supernatural events, and mysterious deaths. As you might expect, Probe features heavy doses of scientific knowledge and logical reasoning, but was cut short due to the 1988 writer's strike.Not to be confused with the direct-to-video BBV Productions film series P.R.O.B.E., based on Doctor Who in 1994. | |

Amateur Sleuth | |
| Probe / int_e3048d1b | comment |
Amateur Sleuth: Austin James is constantly trying to learn what he doesn't already know. This includes discovering how various people are murdered. The first episode establishes him to have a good working relationship with the police coroner, but his actual job is President of Serendip (which he hates and actively avoids so he can do scientific experiments instead). Michelle Castle is hired to be his secretary and she helps him solve each episode's mystery. | |
