Yeah, one of the things I love about that episode are the gun toting monks and smoking nuns.--- In ImpossibleMissionsForce@yahoogroups.com, Glenn Stewart ... ...
I've just watched another episode of the anthology series, 'Alfred Hitchcock Presents'. Steven Hill, barely recognisable as a very thin young man and billed as...
If there had been a Season 8 of 'Mission:Impossible', would it have been a season too far? Was it right for the series to end when it did? In Patrick J White's...
Seven seasons was enough for me, given that the series had been going downhill ever since they lost Rollin & Cinnamon after season 3. Judging by the success of...
Even though the 7th season contained two favorite episodes of mine, "Blues" and "Two Thousand," I think the show was - on the whole - going downhill, and it...
Seven years was a good run. Even if the original cast from season two or three had stayed together I can't see the show advancing into a season eight or nine....
Erik, I tend to agree with your comments, by and large, although I didn't mind season 5- it was a good change of pace to have personal missions and the ...
Yes that's a good description for the last few episodes produced. Basically they felt perfunctory. Although I thought Boomerang was ok. But it's clear that it...
... Yes, seeing the streets of San Francisco (not the t.v. show of the same name) gave M:I a different perspective. Truly, Robert Bernardo...

I'm relatively new to the list, and a newly die-hard fan of the original M:I series. I know this list is based on the show, but when I heard that chances are...
Here's another Season 1 publicity photo on the homepage. It's from on the tv magazines of the time. The photo is showing its age, but can still be enjoyed. ...
Excellent letter, Scott. Let's hope someone, somewhere, in a high position within Tom's "organization" actually reads it. ACJ "Optimism works. It is more...
... I don't think a season 8 would have worked with the same old Syndicate-oriented plots. Season 7's problem was the lack of production values and a bad...
... Uh, he was assistant producer, associate producer, and producer on M:I throughout the entire run from 1966-1972, the good years and the less-than-good ...

At the end of most episodes, there's a delicious moment when the villain realizes that he/she has been conned by the IMF. It's interesting see how different...
In most episodes, the IMF makes the villain believe that he/she had found an easy way to get something he/she really wants. Towards the end of the episode,...
Aside from creative exhaustion, by the 1970's the social climate was becoming unfavorable to M: I. It wasn't politically correct. Which is fine by me. I like...
... I see a season 8 with Kandel and Heath as producers and story editors and a return to foreign intrigues. The IMF returns to South America (Chili, etc ...)....
As some of you may remember, I'm writing extensively about M:I for my book on the history of the caper film. I've just seen "The System", "Illusion", "The...

Now that you mention it I can see how episodes like The Question and Two Thousand could have signaled a new direction for another season. The Question was very...
... Nothing new here, producer Stanley Kallis used to think that the IMF was a neo-fascistic group when Geller asked him to produce the first season which he...
Interesting. I really like the Kallis produced episodes. -The main attraction of the show for me is wish fulfillment rather than any kind of politics. Who...
I agree. I started watching the show when I was 13, and wanted to be Jim Phelps when I grew up. I loved the idea of leading a team of very skilled people who...
For me that's really what the whole show is about. Wouldn't it be great fun to cleverly humiliate an overbearing bureaucrat or would-be dictator? Or trick an...
I just saw this episode for the first time in 32 years, and thought it was outstanding. I like the clever way they had the real doctor work on Golan upstairs...
Yeah, I thought "Numbers Game" was awesome. I'm so glad a lot of these great episodes are finaly getting some exposure. I love season one through three but...
Yes, strong ep. It's also notable because I think it's the first time that Willy (misspelled as "Willie" on the DVD case) has a real (albeit small) "acting"...
