Hmmm. If Mickey Castle is related to Rick Castle, that implies that Rick's father was actually Martha's husband-of-the-moment back then -- which is somewhat contra-indicated by various bits in Castle proper.
That said, I don't doubt the existence of a connection of some kind. Come to that, Austin James might very well be related to Rick Castle. (The phrase "nine year old on a sugar rush" comes to mind....)
My God, I thought I was the only one who remembered this (fondly, down to the theme melody.)
Did you also, at around the same time, watch a series called Wizard about a genius dwarf inventor? (A genius inventor who is a dwarf, I should clarify, not a genius who invents dwarfs.) He fights crime or something. It too was canceled nearly immediately.
(Also, I have decided inside my head that Mickey is related to Rick Castle.)
My brain just made a funny squishy noise. *giggle*
This originally aired during my "outside world doesn't exist" period of college, so the ONLY versions I'd ever seen were the Sci Fi ones. If these YouTube vids are anything to go by, the original is even better. I would SO love to see all of those, now! (It's very telling that while watching the clip linked above, I realized it was from original broadcast because I have the Sci Fi versions basically memorized.)

I totally didn't realize it until just now! Mickey is Claire's mum!

ZOMG yes!! This must happen!
Yay!! Loved Probe. I'm glad others remember it too. And I will be grabbing the DLs when I get home. Thanks!
