This 1972-1973 series did not have the ratings success it deserved because it was at least two decades ahead of its time. We can see many of the elements that are seen and used here today in productions such as the Mission Impossible saga starring Tom Cruise or in the latest installments of James Bond, obviously being a television product its budget was low, but the ideas they were already. The series has three rotating leads, Hugh O Brian, Doug McClure, and Tony Franciosa. All of them are agents belonging to a sophisticated organization called PROBE, whose base of operations is commanded by Burgess Meredith and they provide their agents with all kinds of gadgets so that they can fulfill their missions, the agents have a grafted microchip that allows them to be monitored by the operations center. Its missions consist of finding and rescuing from kidnapped people to valuable objects, in Argentina the series was called Operation Rescue, due to the theme of the missions that its agents had to carry out. Perhaps one of the weakest points of the show is the lack of more action scenes which makes it a bit slow, but the scripts are creative and intelligent. A series that deserves a remake.
