Do you know the title of it? A: With that much informa- hollywood tion I’d be embarrassed if I didn’t. The series you’re thinking of is the short-lived “Search,” which ran for a season from 1972 to 1973. However, the title itself is a bit of a sticking point with the show’s creators and fans. Its pi- lot aired as a two-hour film in February 1972 under the title “Probe.” However, when it was picked up as a series that fall, the name had to be changed because a show called “Probe” The Magic School Bus Doodle- bops Dragon Ball Z Kai Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's already existed. It followed the action- packed exploits of a team of high-tech private investigators led by Burgess Meredith’s char- acter, V.C. Cameron. His field agents were aided by tiny transmitters they wore, and even tinier radio receivers they had planted in their ears, which kept them in constant contact with Cameron’s Probe Control office.

Q: I was watching “Alien: Resurrection” and the cred- its said it was directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Isn’t he the guy who did “Amelie”? A: French filmmaker Jean- Pierre Jeunet was certainly not the first art-house hero to dab- ble in the booms and bucks of big-budget Hollywood movies when he signed on to do “Alien: Resurrection.” He was following in the steps of such luminaries as American auteur David Lynch (whose next project after the SPORTS MOVIES FAMILY 9 AM 9:30 10 AM 10:30 11 AM 11:30 12 PM 12:30 1 PM 1:30 Turbo Dogs Shelldon Paid Program The Early Show on Saturday Yu-Gi-Oh!

It was sandwiched between two of his star-making films, 1995’s comedic fantasy “The City of Lost Children” and what most believe is his greatest achievement, the multi-award- winning, world-sweeping, star- making romance “Amelie.” ”Alien: Resurrection” cost an estimated $70 million to make, more than double the cost of his previous films com- bined. 2 PM 2:30 Paid Program NCAA Basketball Kentucky vs. North Carolina Site: Dean E.

Hermie The Best of Harvest He’s having the last laugh, though, as “Amelie” has far outgrossed the “Alien” film, de- spite having been made with a fraction of the budget as well. Indeed, the producers didn’t even get a first laugh in, really. The film was panned by critics on its release, with Joe Baltake of the Sacramento Bee writing, “This ‘Alien’ should never have been resurrected.” Have a question?
