this is a great dramatic show, it was fun for the whole family, and it was a clean show, but non stop action all the way. i was only 1 year of age when the7th season came out , but i really have enjoyed the other 6 seasons and the beauty of it is, this show could have easily gone on for as long as it wanted to. enjoy !!!!!!!!!!!

So here we are, on the verge of the 1988-1990 series being put onto DVD.... or at least that's what I along with many of you are hoping..... C'mon guys. We have waited 3 long years for the 60's series to be completely released so that they can move onto and distribute the 1988-1990 series.... well here's hoping, very happy to have read on amazon and other places that the "newer" series meant as much to you as it did to me growing up!!!!!... Well that's all for now just a Subtle hint to the production company... :-)
"A great series-filled with intrigue and suspense" September 14, 2009

Original series, "Mission Impossible", is one of a kind and it has stood the test of time. It is an action-packed drama that has intrigue and suspense. The writing is excellent and the acting ensemble each year was perfect.
"Mission Impossible" is about a government team that sets up a sting operation to bring down an enemy force-whether with international implications or domestic. Each episode has a different back drop-which includes gadgetry, subterfuge, surprises and perfect teamwork. Even though most cases, the operation worked like clockwork, I liked it when something went wrong and the team would work through it.
In six of the seven seasons of the original series, Jim Phelps (played beautifully by Peter Graves) led the team with planning and execution. Greg Morris "Barney", the technical/electrical expert, and Peter Lupis "Willie", the muscle man, were the only characters in all 7 seasons. Other team members included a beautiful woman (played first by Barbara Bain and followed by Leslie Ann Warren, Lynda Day George and others) and a master of disguise. Both Martin Landau and Leonard Nimoy played the master of disguise brilliantly. Nimoy, loved as Spock on Star Trek, was a great surprise in this series (seasons 4 & 5).
Another reason I loved this series was the many guest stars that included some of the best actors, many who went on to become huge stars. Even William Shatner did a brilliant turn in season 6.
If you like intrigue, "Mission Impossible" is a must for your library-all seven seasons. I have seasons 1-6 and I can't wait to get the 7th.
Impossible Missions Force! September 2, 2009

This final year entry of Mission Impossible welcomes a newcomer, the beautiful Barbara Anderson as agent Mimi Davis along with veteran greats Peter Graves, Greg Morris, Peter Lupus and Lynda Day George.
After 168 successful missions from original creator Bruce Geller, Jim Phelps accepts the final mission for the IMF. Mission Impossible always placed the bar high for other series with its intricate scripts and that wonderful iconic music theme from the superb Lalo Schifrin! This final season is no exception!
To complement this prodigious series, CBS/Paramount's mission, should they decide to accept it, (and we sure hope they do), is to release the 35 episodes from the 1988 series! That would be great news.
 MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE #7: The Syndicate Strikes Back! August 13, 2009
Thomas Rucki (Paris, France)

Good afternoon. Here is the seventh and final season (1972-1973) of "Mission: Impossible" which is now produced by Barry Crane (former "Mission: Impossible" associate producer who masters the science of budgets over scripts from season 1 to 6--except season 2--, and director from season 4 to 7) and entirely supervised by newcomer writer Stephen Kandel but helped by writer Laurence Heath who produces one episode: "Boomerang". The series carries on dealing with the Syndicate as in the previous season 6, Barry Crane follows the path of his predecessor, reaches the fatal recession and, eventually, the series becomes self-conscious and looses its edge.
Minor changes occur: Lynda Day George is absent ten times in this twenty two episodes season and therefore guest female agents appear as in the hybrid season 4: during seven episodes, Barbara Anderson (former "Ironside" leading actress) poses as ex-convict Mimi Davis who is introduced in "Break!" and also Marlyn Mason posing as IMFer Sandy in "Crack-Up" and Elizabeth Ashley posing as IMFer Andrea in "The Question", one episode ("Imitation") contains no female IMFer, the character of Barney carries a moustache during four episodes ("Two Thousand", "Leona", "Underground", "Speed") and the main theme music is slightly re-arranged with a fast tempo in the vein of the "hip" season 5. In order to renew the locations, the action takes place in San Francisco as for instance "Speed" (a season 5 youth movement drama combined in a Syndicate plot, guest starring Claude Akins and Jenny Sullivan).
Find a selection of rare espionage plots: "Two Thousand" (directed by Leslie H. Martinson--who did the cult season 6 "Invasion"--, guest starring Vic Morrow and deals with atomic warfare through weapons trade), "Tod-5" (directed by Film Noir artisan Lewis Allen, guest starring Peter Haskell and Michael Conrad which highlights the germ warfare threat organized by American terrorists), "Ultimatum" (guest starring Murray Hamilton and Madlyn Rhue which underlines the danger of both the atomic warfare and inner terrorism executed by a frustrated scientist; the plot reminds the 1950 British film "Seven Days to Noon"), "The Question" (the masterpiece written by Stephen Kandel and guest starring Gary Lockwood and Jason Evers and tackles a Soviet assassin intrigue about the theme of defection), "The Pendulum" (guest starring Dean Stockwell which points a finger at a conspiracy inside the American government in the form of a subversive group of politicians and militaries).
Find also some engrossing gangster episodes: "Underground" (guest starring Peter Mark Richman as a doctor from a secret organization who interrogates harshly Jim Phelps inside a psychedelic torture chamber a la "Ipcress File" so that he locates the hideout of the Syndicate's finances, held secret by an abducted diabetic accountant), "Kidnap" (the sequel to the season 6 "Casino", directed by actor Peter Graves and guest starring John Ireland and in which Barney becomes the leader of the team to free kidnapped Jim), "Movie" (guest starring John Vernon and David Brian), "The Puppet" (guest starring Roddy McDowall), "Crack-Up" (directed by Sutton Roley and guest starring Alex Cord and Peter Breck in which a hired killer/chess player is hypnotized by the IMF to answer to two catch-phrases "when in doubt, take a pawn/Cordel" and to confess the location and identity of his boss), "The Deal" (guest starring Robert Webber, Lana Wood and Lloyd Bochner which blends a Syndicate plot with a foreign intrigue of a Caribbean dictator), "Break!" (guest starring Robert Conrad). Music-wise, only two scores are original, "Underground" by Lalo Schifrin and "Ultimatum" by Duane Tatro.
Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to explore, discover and enjoy the overtones and secret meanings of season 7. This tape will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck...
