Your mission Mr. Briggs......Review created: 02/06/07

It's about time Paramount/CBS video released the first season of Mission Impossible. I have been waiting years for this release and watched as other, less popular shows were released.
This release is the best quality I have seen of these old episodes. The picture has been cleaned up and the dust and debris you usually get on syndicated TV is gone. The soundtrack is mixed here in 5.1 sound and sounds incredible. The set consists of 7 discs (4 episodes each) and they are in slim-line cases. The shows are in order of their original release dates.
I do have some gripes about this set. I wish there had been some sort of bonus features, there are none. Some better liner notes would have been nice, including the release dates (they are not listed) better plot summary, guest star lists and maybe some trivia.
Some interesting things about season one is that Jim Phelps, the more well-known leader of the Impossible Missions Force is absent. The role of Dan Briggs was played by Steven Hill (of NBC's Law and Order) and he was the leader of the IMF during it's first season. He left/was fired over a dispute, and replaced with Peter Graves for season two.
Overall I would rate this set as excellent just because it is actually here and out after years of waiting...I will take a bare-bones set as opposed to nothing.

Awesome Set

This DVD set became a must have for me because I was unaware that M:I was NOT originally cast with Peter Graves in the role of Jim Phelps. Rather, the first season was headed up by Steven Hill (later of Law & Order fame)as Dan Briggs. The first season's episodes are a crisp mix of action, daring storylines, and characters of the "Impossible Missions Force" that you really cheer for.
This is a must have DVD set for anyone into classic television. I have to admit that, up to this point, I had not seen a lot of the classic series, but I can say after watching that the Tom Cruise movies DON'T do it justice at all. For more of an action packed ride, pick up M:I season 1!

Since I was a teen, I always loved this exciting series and now I have finally gotten a chance to own my own copies and enjoy them when I like. I plan to collect all of the episodes. Thanks!

The DVD's are great. I decided to buy them because of their low price. I have year two and year three and I was just starting to look for year one. I wanted the first three years because those were the years that Barbara Bain was the main female character.

GREAT series still FUN after all these years~Review created: 07/13/08(updated 07/13/08)
by:
At long last~ the ORIG Mission Impossible~ Season one~ The classic series is still FUN after all these years~
Watch the Team Kidnap a man right under the NOSE of about 10 police guards, the Team Rob a Vault while catering a dinner~
STEAL a diamond with annoying Cat trying to play with the diamond~ LOL, ON the lighter side the Guest Stars with fake middle European accents is ever so funny, a young Carroll OConnor with a beard~ most amusing! Great theme song impossible plots they carry off with Ease~ ** one bit of fun are the signs in fake foreign languages but WE can read them >>>** how funny~
Steven Hill as Dan Briggs his only season on this is excellent as the silent brain of the team~ Beautiful Barbara Bain won an Emmy as Cinnamon Carter the lovely lady spy~ Martin Landau as Rollin Hand (also real life husband of Barbara Bain at the time)... as the man of a thousand faces~ and everyone's favorite....Barney Collier~ GREG MORRIS as one of the first Black Actors in the 1960's who broke through many barriers~ Well done and this is one of the BEST of all the Seasons on DVD~
I GIVE THIS SERIES A SOLID 10 OF OF 10 FOR GREAT PLOTS AND ACTION~

Great to go back in timeReally enjoyed seeing them all over again..easy shows to watch..Clear beginning and ending--Get the bad person and off they go..plus great to watch how technology has changed--record players--phone booths--tape machines..
how did they ever manage without a cell phone??
When you see how many epidsodes you get--worth the money--esp. if you are traveling--hours of enjoyment..
Alway got season 2.......

I received the Mission Impossible DVD right on time. They were packaged carefully and were exactly what they were advertised. Do not fret on anything this person says. In my book they are 110%. Thanks Alan

I love the product. I liked the price and the ease of ordering. I disliked the wait and the fact that I had to write to find out why it had not arrived. True it was over the Christmas rush; but a note from the seller would have been nice.
