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.
