Hello, so far the only two episodes of M:I on YouTube are from the 80s series posted by a Days of Our Lives Fan (The Killer and The Condemned). Is anyone out...
Hi, It's a copyright violation to post the episodes, especially complete ones. If someone complains, they will remove the video and even take away your...
Thanks for the reply, I am aware of copyright issues but those '88 episodes have been there for quite a while now and no one pulled them out. So I guess it's...
I have just read of the death of the British writer, Donald James, who wrote the Season 4 Mission classic 'Submarine'. He also wrote scripts for many British...
Do you know if he went on to other areas of the TV/film industry, or did he just retire from it? His last credit on the IMDB is from 1977. I loved "The...
The season seven episode you saw was "TOD – 5." I thought it was a pretty damn good episode. As a matter of fact I watched it again last night. It had...
Marta, If you go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/60sand70sCult_TV/ Message 12513 has a piece on Donald James. Apparently he became a novelist in later life. ...
I've noticed therer's very little discussion of Mission 88-90 around here, so I would like to discuss the series as a whole. By no means does it come close...
Thanks, Jimmy. I might add that my husband and I are loving the MI DVD releases. They're so much fun to watch they put the dreck on TV today to shame. We...
It's too bad he only wrote one script for the show. "Submarine" was so brilliant, it would have been interesting to watch some more stories from him.--- In...
I'm so absorbed by the classic series that I haven't seen the 80's revival yet. It's not on Tv in my area. Hopefully one day they will also be available on...
Mission: Trek Montage: First image: a dummy's head rolling across a cabin floor. Final image: a very dehydrated looking Cinnamon with a rifle pointed at her...
... Well, pirate copies are out there. And I have some fuzzy tapes of show recorded when it aired: On Beta tape no less! Robert Bernardo...

Yes, TOD-5 was excellent. It recalls elements of The Town, The Counterfeiter, and a bit of The Carriers. However, this time it's the IMF that creates the phony...
Thanks for another great review. This is Peter Graves at his best. I love that he did the ladder stunt himself. I agree, it does feel like a western,...
Here are some questions for the group members. Which Mission writers do you prefer? Are you a William Read Woodfield and Allan Balter purist? Do you prefer the...
To tell the truth, I found the 80's revival to be not too bad, unlike all the other remakes of earlier TV series. The actors were pretty good, although I...
... Apart from MISSION's top writers (W&B, Heath, Playdon), I enjoy Ken Pettus, a former "Wild Wild West" writer. His MISSION's season 4 scripts were all good...
Oddly enough, among the "big" writers, I prefer Playdon and Heath (roughly equally) over Woodfield/Balter. Among the "lesser" writers, my favorites are...
That' a great trivia question. Let' see... Brigg was shot in season one The Legacy. Phelps in Nicole and The Rebel, Barney in Hunted. Casey was shot at in...
... Also, Barney in Wheels and Phelps (by design) in Operation Heart. I'm glad they didn't overdo the shooting. I read that Mannix was shot something like six...
Isn't "The Greek" the one in the yacht where Phil Morris goes undercover? I remember enjoying it very well, it had one particular impressive gadget that...
Yes, in "The Greek", Grant (Phil Morris) dresses up as an African drug king-pin. It had the miraculous device that changed Socrates Collonodes (sp?) records...
I've also heard great things about The Haunting, supposedly the only good supernatural themed episode from the new series and Tony Hamilton's best role as a...
Casey gets shot in ENcounter and Phelps carries her. SHe does look tiny but Graves is also about 6'4". I thought about "Operation Heart" but didn't mention it...
I would put myself in the Paul Playdon camp. There is no doubt that it was Woodfield/Balter who really defined the show, even more than Bruce Geller did (this...
