Product Description:
The head of the 'Impossible Missions Force', a top-secret government group of operatives, starts a tape recorder and finds out about his latest assignment. Throughout most of the series, they would have to stop some petty dictator or powerful bad guy from whatever evil plot they had against the U.S. or Democracy in general. The elaborate use of electronic gadgetry, masters of disguise and detailed plans that require split-second timing made this tv show an 'on the edge of your seater'!
Amazon.com:
The classic Impossible Missions Force lineup made its debut in Mission: Impossible's sophomore season (1967-1968), which is preserved in this essential set for classic TV fans. Gone was Steven Hill as Dan Briggs, and in his place the supremely confident and smooth Peter Graves as new team leader Jim Phelps, whom most viewers identify with the series. Carrying out the missions assigned from a pre-recorded voice on the self-destroying tape recorder was magician and master of disguise Rollin Hand (Martin Landau, who moved up from guest star to regular cast member with this season), top model Cinnamon Carter (Landau's real-life spouse Barbara Bain, who won three Emmys for her work on the show), electronics genius Barney Collier (Greg Morris), and all-purpose strong man Willie Armitage (body builder-turned-actor Peter Lupus). Among the 25 adventures carried out in this seven-disc set: 'The Seal,' in which the IMF uses a trained cat to assist in the recovery from an important statue from thief Darren McGavin; 'The Town,' with Phelps discovering that Communists have overrun an entire hamlet; and 'The Slave,' in which the team tangle with a Middle Eastern slavery ring. Guest stars include Anthony Zerbe, Paul Winfield, Fritz Weaver, and Sid Haig, but it's the team itself that shines the brightest, especially Landau and Bain, who exude the breezy charm of the series itself (though both would depart the show by the following season). Sadly, the second season set includes no extras. -- Paul Gaita

Rating: - It's Mission Impossible... not to admire this series.
As a young boy growing up during the Cold War era- when air raid drills were routine -I couldn't wait to get home to watch this program. The fear of Soviet spies or a nuclear holocaust we very real and added to the intensity of this show, especially episodes like "The Photographer" where the IM force creates a haunting panorama of a destroyedlandscape to, once again, psychologically fool their adversary.
Granted, by today's film standards some of these visual effects are mediocre ... Read More
Rating: - Wonderful
Just wonderful! This show was made so many years ago and in
today's technical standards, what they use in the show may be considerably outdated. Yet, it doesn't seem that way at all since it is so cleverly written and delivered so well by the actors. I used to watch it when I was young and I enjoy now just as much as I did or even more. It is a shame they don't make shows like this any more. Excellent quality show and I love it.
Rating:  - Mission Impossible - 2nd Season
This is the first season with Peter Graves as Jim Phelps, the head of the Impossible Missions team.In this season, Jim shows he is willing to put himself in harm's way as well as members of his team.Even though the technology in the episodes is dated, the well written scripts never will be.All of the actors play their parts well and are what made the show what it was.Whenever America is willing to watch intelligently written shows, maybe MI can make a comeback.Even though I don't think ...

This was a wonderful show to look at and was sad when it ended but it's a good thing we have dvd's to watch these shows again and again.The acting is superb. Not too many shows like this exist anymore.

I love this show!There is nothing on tv these days to compare with great classics like this one.The acting is superb, there is NO FOUL LANGUAGE (IMAGINE THAT!!). Each episode keeps you on the edge of your seat. If you want better TV, forget the networks. PLEASE KEEP BRINGING US THESE GREAT SHOWS ON DVD!!!
