From: jima@wevv.com Date: Thu Aug 19, 1999 7:10 pm Subject: [probe_control] New Member Howdy, SEARCH Fans! New SEARCH e-groups member Jim Alexander, here! Finding out about this list started recently when I purchased one of Mike Walston's nice 'Scanner' replicas off of eBay! Then, I found out from Mike that friends of his were 'into' the program, as well as trading tapes of the show! I've been fortunate enough to come into contact with nice people like Bryan Durk, who has shown me that there is a whole world of people out there who appreciate Leslie Steven's show as much as I do! I was 13 when SEARCH premiered. I was crazy about it the first time I saw it. As many of you did, I used to audio-tape the episodes off the tv! I ordered some of the scripts, postcards, and film-clip frames from Lincoln Enterprises... picked up the paperback novelizations, and even drew my own home-made comic book, based on the adventures of Lockwood and the gang! I just wanted to say 'hello' to the list, and let everyone know I am out here! I'm open to any and all e-mail anyone would care to send!

Hey, who's your favorite "probe"? I'm a Lockwood man myself. The thing I remembered about him -- during the fight scenes he'd almost always nail someone with this massive kick -- not like a karate fighter, more like a soccer player! There seems to be a lot of Grover fans around -- fewer seem to favor Bianco -- I don't know why. BTW, if you get a chance stop by my SEARCH message board at: http://www.insidetheweb.com/messageboard/mbs.cgi/mb315284 Regards, Kevin >From: jima@wevv.com >Reply-To: probe_control@egroups.com >To: probe_control@eGroups.com >Subject: [probe_control] New Member >Date: Thu, 19 Aug 1999 16:10:06 -0700 > >Howdy, SEARCH Fans! > >New SEARCH e-groups member Jim Alexander, here!

Congradulations! ------------------------------------ Thanks! Nice to be here, uh... there! NICE TO BE ON BOARD!!! ----------------------------------- >... Hey, who's your favorite "probe"?

The thing I remembered about him -- during the fight >scenes he'd almost always nail someone with this massive kick -- >not like a karate fighter, more like a soccer player! ----------------------------------- Hard to choose. I guess I like all three for different reasons. My favorite episode has always been "Short Circuit" (with Grover). My best friend was always a Bianco fan. I guess I always considered myself a Lockwood fan, growing up... but now that I'm able to see more of the episodes... I can appreciate all three. I like Grover's devil-may-care 'surfer' attitude (though he seems like he'd be the least likely, least responsible candidate Probe Agent, sometimes), and boyish good-looks. I like Lockwood's straightforward attitude, and dedication. And after all, he's the 'first' Probe Agent of all... But I'm beginning to appreciate Bianco more and more. He seems like more of a 'real-life' person, and less of a TV Action Star/caricature. His past mob connections make him an interesting individual. He has much more of a 'darker'side than the others. ----------------------------------- >...
