Okay, I have finally had time to watch Bag Woman closely and post some brief thoughts. Well what a great episode to introduce you to Mission: Impossible,...
Bag Woman is a fine hour of suspense and one of the best Season 6 episodes, but I wouldn't consider it excellent. I have no problems with an episode where...
I think Thomas is on the wrong track about Barry Crane. Â Based on your writing, my impression is that Crane was the mastermind behind the later and better...
"Bag woman" would be the perfect introduction to MISSION IMPOSSIBLE. In the seventies, when I watched the series for the first time, I watched some of the...
... We are all impatient to read your review of "Bag Woman". For the anecdote, "Bag Woman" was my former introduction to MISSION back in the 70's: I still...
Crane was an associate producer for the series for much of the show's life. I do appreciate his ability as a bridge mastermind, I would imagine that this would...
That's "The Fortune", it's a retool of The Elixir (with a more believable payoff) and not a very good episode despite the killing of a major IMF agent. "The...
Very interesting comments, Erik.  Perhaps we could relate this to why season seven is so good with Crane, the Bridge mastermind, at the control. How much...
The only two episodes I really liked in the later series, and the only ones I'd really be willing to see again, are "The Pawn" (I think that's the title; it's...
I felt sad when I found out that Crane was murdered. It's a horrible fate that I wish on nobody. The fact that the case remains cold after almost 25 years...
USA International used to show repeats of them back in the 1990s, and they have been uploaded on YouTube. The best episodes on YouTube are The Pawn and...
These are interesting comments. There actually was something good about the 1988-90 series? I only watched a few episodes now and then back them, found...
Great comments, James Anthony!!  Season 6 and 7 represent the ultimate Mission Impossible experience. I think I could watch episodes from these two final...
Perhaps they spent all the money for season seven on the first episodes, because they look expensive and are terrific!!! No sign of bad quality yet, only top...
Where to you see these shows recently? The only time I saw them was when they were aired on the network back in 1988-90. I don't think Paramont owns the rights...
"Bag woman" is an excellent episode, and I enjoyed the review very much. In order to prepare for Saturday, I will watch this week's season six episode.  ...
Barry Crane is an interesting person in the history of the series. He was an associate producer for the series since its beginning, and he directed some great...
I agree about Willy coming into his own in the later seasons. I was watching Incarnate and was surprised that in that one Phelps is in the background...
I would consider purchasing the first season of the 1988-1990 series. I'm pretty sure Paramount can profit from releasing it, as far worse shows out there have...
Well, usually I trust your judgement, but this time I will prefer to live in optimism. The early episodes are brilliant, in my opinion equally good or even...
I agree completely. The new arrangement of the Lalo Shifrin theme song is fantastic. Obviously they were doing their best of trying to improve the show in...
... You're too optimistic and over the top but I like your enthusiasm, by the way. The writing will fall apart as well as the film-making and you'll realize it...
Ah good, let's keep the discussion of season seven on an abstract level, not touching upon particular episodes. Â You are right about the beginning of the...
