Mission: Impossible, which ran from 1966-1973, was
the definitive “secret agent” television series. Over 4
decades later, things haven't changed. The series remains
consistently popular, having clearly stood the test of time.
***
This multi-disc set contains all of the episodes from
the series' sixth season. The set contains the usual Param
ount disclaimer that some episodes may be edited from their
original broadcast versions, though I didn’t notice any
edits (again though, this show came out long before I was
born, so don’t quote me on this.) Guest stars in this season
include William Shatner, Billy Dee Williams, and Tom Bosley***
There's no denying the greatness that is Mission: Impossible.
With an all-stat cast that featured Peter Graves, Peter
Lupus. Greg Morris, and Lynda Day George, the sheer amount
of talent compiled for the series stands as one of its finest
assets. And who could forget Lalo Schifrin's classic title
theme? ***
The sixth season is one of the finest the series had
to offer, with some of the most intriguing and interesting
storylines and episodes of the series. No fan of the series
should be without this set. --
Image And Sound:
Paramount has clearly gone out of their way to make
Mission: Impossible look as good as possible for its arrival
on the DVD format. Despite the age of the source material,
they have cleaned the image and the sound up nicely. It's
great to see them go to such lengths to make the show look
and sound good - especially considering how some companies
will just slap a show on DVD with no remastering whatsoever.
