Probe (1988)


An eccentric genius and a frazzled secretary consult with the police solving crime.  Isaac Asimov is co-credited as creator, because he evidently needed help coming up with the idea of doing Sherlock Holmes again.

The whole show has the look and feel of something that came out five years earlier, especially in the treatment of computers as a novelty.  It doesn't go as far as Whiz Kids in that direction, and the forced quirkiness of the characters fails to add any charm or humor.
