 Mission Impossible Season V November 2, 2008

I feel like I am watching some of these shows for the first time, I was in college and working weekends to pay for school supplies. So, I missed many of these episodes and for some reason--didn't see them as they ran summer reruns. Very happy to add this to the other four sets.
This set is OKAY - it has NOT been CBS/Paramount-ized ! October 28, 2008

Mission: Impossible 5th season set
Well, to my fellow CBS/Paramount skeptics, I'm glad to report that this 5th season of Mission: Impossible is okay, and has not been bastardized by any tampering from the CBS/Paramount music-changing service labs.
I waited until I had heard from another reviewer before even ordering this set, and still kept my fingers crossed. I've watched a few episodes, and I'm happy with the set. No music has been removed, and, more importantly, none has been injected in.
The video and audio quality is fine, the same as the earlier Mission sets -- but, of course, this is the set where the 1970s "hipness" begins. Dated, yeah, but, at least it's the way it was originally aired.
After the awful and unforgiveable debacle with what CBS/Paramount did to The Fugitive Season 2 Vol. 1, we're all scrutinously skeptical of anything they put to DVD. Let's hope they decide to make good for how they've disappointed us all with The Fugitive. Maybe they'll re-do that set right. Or maybe they'll drop the whole rest of that excellent series. If so, it's their loss as well as ours.
No Music Problems October 17, 2008

I just got my copy of the fifth season of Mission Impossible and the fears of changes in the theme music are unfounded. Same theme music as before. The first episode features Robert Conrad as a hired killer and Lesley Ann Warren joins the team in some nice tight pants. Thumbs Up!
A Fresh Look for Season Five! October 10, 2008

Mission Impossible - The Fifth TV Season brings us fresh faces and a renewed sense of story. Gone is the portfolio of agents from which Phelps must chose, new are two new IMF agents, played by a very young & beautiful Lesley Ann Warren and rugged & handsome Sam Elliott (I think the budget didn't allow for his mustache:). As "The Beatles" modified their music to suit the times, Mission Impossible morphed in to the psychedelic '70's as well. This season has a very contemporary theme for its time while still carrying the intrigue of its core mantra.
My one star deduction is that the DVD's are NOT picture discs as with the first four season set releases. Continuing on with picture discs would have been nice with the addition of two new members to the IMF. The discs are a plain gray, identical to 'The Untouchables' discs. Take care not to mix them up. Still, I'm very glad to have the whole season at a marketable price.
~Sigh~, only CBS/Paramount............
A lot of changes October 10, 2008

This season feels like a departure from the previous ones. Even setting aside the introduction of a cute but unconvincing Lesley (Ann) Warren and an insipid Sam Elliot, the flavor of the show is completely different. Overnight, the style and flair of the 1960s is replaced by the tacky squares-trying-to-be-hip feel of almost every early 1970s show. That aspect is so fake that it comes out almost as comedic. In counterbalance, this season introduces shrewd and intelligent enemies who pose a real challenge to the team instead of being ineffectual dupes who fall for every trick in the book. In turn, the IMF team is no longer perfect. They make mistakes and unforeseen events throw monkey wrenches into their complicated plans. The combination of competent villains and imperfect heroes makes the show a lot more interesting and less two-dimensional than the earlier seasons.
Also gone is the selection of the team from a list of potential candidates at the beginning of each episode. Apparently, Jim Phelps realized what the audience picked up on a few years before him: he's always going to pick the same people, so why go through the motions? This is reflected in the interactions between the team members. No longer are they assumed to be relative strangers from different walks of life who are brought together for a mission, but they're shown "hanging out" together in their spare time.
Did I mention how totally useless Sam Elliot is in this show?
