The last classic year of MI 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.
Sadly, this review site has become a hang-out for disgruntled "Fugitive" fans with a never-ending grudge against CBS/Paramount. Get a life!
This 5th series of MI is one of my favorites. They finally grow there hair/sideburns a little and start swinging with the '70's! Really strong writing, and a good variation of plots. Too bad Leonard Nimoy wasn't happy with his role, but he is a team-member of equal importance, and really shines in several episodes. Sam Elliott as a doctor is not a good replacement for strongman Willie in 10 episodes, but he is not as bad as I expected, just generally useless. Lesley Anne Warren is very young and new to acting, but she is gorgeous and wears some incredible mini-dresses & mini-skirts (and never wore a bra). Yes, I admit, pure eye candy, but she is effective in the mod episodes where Barbara Bain would have seemed, well, out of place. The next years are good too, but this seems like the last classic team, and the least repetitive with plots. (I mean, how many Eastern European or South American jails do they have to infiltrate, then escape?)

Living in the past. 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 1 people found this review helpful.
Watching these take me back to a more innocent time of tv viewing. The quality of the dvds is very good. Though the plots of each show are interchangeable, it's still fun watching the heroes use what was then "state-of-the-art" equipment to con the bad guys. And you never see people get seriously hurt.
Great Series...!!! 5 out of 5 stars.

I'm a really big fan of the first season of MI especially because of Steven Hill's portrayal of Dan Briggs. The series was just starting out and it tended to have greatly varied plots during the first season which made it exciting to watch. Dan Briggs seemed to be the perfect character to lead the IMF and I was not sure why he was replaced by Peter Graves until I read the write-up on his religious background. His no-nonsense approach was just what you would expect of someone in his position and he also had the added benefit of not being as well known as Peter Graves at the time, anonimity being a necessary part of undercover activities, which made him seem all the more real. I don't mean to demean Mr. Graves' contributions to the series...he was there for the remainder of its successful run; however, I often wonder what the show's personality would have been if Steven had continued on. As with all other reviewers I believe this was a great series and am happy that it is being released. Seasons 1 and 2 are safely in my possession as will be all that are released.

Mission: Impossible Goes In New Directions 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.
Season Three of Mission Impossible had major upheavals in which the main writers of the series abruptly quit. The show survived this by brining in Paul Playdon as lead writer and Stanley Kallis as Producer. Season Four began with even more potentially damaging changes as Martin Landau and Barbara Bain also abruptly left the show. To replace Landau's "Rollin Hand" character who wore masks and impersonated other people, Leonard Nimoy was brought in as "Paris" (we never learn his first name). Nimoy is not the actor Landau is, and he complained later that he was not given enough challenging roles, but he was adequate. His best performances were in the episodes "Gitano" and "The Code" which otherwise were not among the best stories. Later in the season, lead writer Paul Playdon left the show due to exhaustion, along with Producer Stanley Kallis. In spite of this, the show continued to make fine entertaining episodes, in spite of the fact that no single leading lady actress was brought in to replace Barbara Bain's "Cinnamon Carter" character.
In two especially good episodes, "The Crane" and "The Submarine", the IM Force has to race the clock as intensive police cordons are zeroing in on them while they have to deceive a leader of a police state or break an "unbreakable" prisoner. On the whole, this season has as many fine episodes as do the preceding seaons, in spite of the difficulties the cast and crew faced. Highly recommended.

It's Mission Impossible... not to admire this series. 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.
As a young boy growing up during the Cold War era- when air raid drills were routine -I couldn't wait to get home to watch this program. The fear of Soviet spies or a nuclear holocaust we very real and added to the intensity of this show, especially episodes like "The Photographer" where the IM force creates a haunting panorama of a destroyed landscape to, once again, psychologically fool their adversary.
Granted, by today's film standards some of these visual effects are mediocre or even poor, but again, the story lines and actors did a great job within the limits of technology and their budgets.
Even the now famous "Mission Impossible Theme" is so catching and perfect. However, I found it very interesting that this show, which often targeted the Soviets, slightly plagiarized that haunting melody from the Soviet composer Dmitri Shostakovich. Listen to the first movement of his Seventh Symphony and you'll here that deep pulsating bass line. Interesting.
However, this season has many episodes that I remember from my distant childhood and they did not disappoint. Therefore, despite the dated FX or extremely slow pace in some episodes, since they had to fill up an hour program, Mission Impossible was well written and was a template for many movies in the future...not to mention a school for many directors and actors. Highly recommended.

This is the third season I have purchased and so far, it is as great as I remember it. The action is as I remember. One has to think to figure how some things are done in this program, unlike some of the cheap productions on TV today. I highly recommend this set.

I LOVE the old Mission Impossible TV Series. I cannot get enough of them. I watch it over and over and never get tired of it. It's some of the best written stories ever. I would suggest to everyone to buy it and see for yourself. Great program!
Mission Impossible, Season 3 - Five stars! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.
The series entered its third season with the team now intact for two years. Peter Graves returns as the group's leader, and the always fabulous Martin Landau and real-life wife Barbara Bain reprise their roles.
Greg Morris and Peter Lupus also are back and unfortunately never seem to have enough screen time. Peter Lupus probably never spoke more than 50 words per episode. But I suppose his role was as the "muscle."
There are some really excellent episodes. Check out "Nicole," in which Jim Phelps becomes emotionally involved with one of the characters (portrayed by Joan Collins). And if that isn't enough, there are some other plot twists that will keep the viewer engaged.
Sometimes, things will seem a bit dated, and compared with today's TV shows, the action can seem to move at a slower pace. But don't let that stop you. The writing is good. The acting is first-rate. And you'll always wonder exactly how they're going to complete their mission. What more could you want?
Plus, Jim Phelps never turns, as the writers had him do in the insipid MI movie. We fans know that would never happen.

Editorial Review:
Forty years before it hit the big screen via a glossy Tom Cruise remake the classic 1960s television series MISSION IMPOSSIBLE captivated audiences with its tense and stylish thrill ride through Cold War espionage. Following the globetrotting exploits of a covert taskforce of government spies--team leader James Phelps (Peter Graves who replaced the debut season's Steven Hill) master of disguise Rollin Hand (Martin Landau) electronics expert Barney Collier (Greg Morris) tough guy Willy Armitage (Peter Lupus) and femme fatale Cinnamon Carter (Barbara Bain)--the series distinguished itself with intricate plotting high-tech gadgetry inventive cinematography and of course an indelible theme song. Smart and iconic the vintage series is resurrected in this collection of episodes from the first three seasons. Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS UPC: 097361303345 Manufacturer No: 130334

Do the math 1 out of 5 stars.
5 of 8 people found this review helpful.
By my calculation, one can order the 5 seasons separately (the 1-3 set, plus the 4th and 5th) for approximately sixty-three dollars less than the cost of this set.
How stupid do they think we are?
To be fair, I do not own this set. Does it come in a gold-inlaid wooden box or some such? Somehow, I doubt it. If it came in a attache case complete with replica self-destructing tape player, it still wouldn't be worth it.
Very Expensive 1 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
This is a very expensive Pack. If you buy each season individually it will cost $155.95 as of today. That is a savings of $69.04. I love Mission Impossible but whoever put the price tag on this Pack obviously did not do their math at all.
Excellent product but poor value 5 out of 5 stars.

I purchased these five seasons individually and the quality is beyond superb. However, another reviewer had it correct when saying the current price is too high for the bundle. Consider buying these seasons individually instead.
