Movie Reviews of Mission Impossible - The Second TV Season

Movie Review: Classic American Television With Few Equals
Summary: 5 Stars

"Good Morning, Mr. Phelps...." With these four words, Dan (Steven Hill) Briggs is gone without so much as an explanation. I was just getting used to having him around to head up the IMF, and he was nowhere to be found. Gone, but not forgotten.
Not to worry, though. Peter (James Arness' younger brother) Graves was ready, willing, and oh, so capable as the the new, top man.
The leader changed, but not the top-notch action adventure, thrills, chills and cliff-hanging suspense that was the hallmark of this superb hourly series from Paramount Studios.
If I were to offer ANY criticism, it would be that as time went on, the formulaic, somewhat predictable this-is-where-Mr.-Phelps will-do-this aspect of the show, especially at the beginning of each episode where he went through his case with the photos. I know.... picky, picky. My suggestion to you, reader is this.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is.... to add this really terrific tv series to your collection, as I did to mine.

Summary of Mission Impossible - The Second TV Season

The head of the "Impossible Missions Force", a top-secret government group of operatives, starts a tape recorder and finds out about his latest assignment. Throughout most of the series, they would have to stop some petty dictator or powerful bad guy from whatever evil plot they had against the U.S. or Democracy in general. The elaborate use of electronic gadgetry, masters of disguise and detailed plans that require split-second timing made this tv show an "on the edge of your seater"!
The classic Impossible Missions Force lineup made its debut in Mission: Impossible's sophomore season (1967-1968), which is preserved in this essential set for classic TV fans. Gone was Steven Hill as Dan Briggs, and in his place the supremely confident and smooth Peter Graves as new team leader Jim Phelps, whom most viewers identify with the series. Carrying out the missions assigned from a pre-recorded voice on the self-destroying tape recorder was magician and master of disguise Rollin Hand (Martin Landau, who moved up from guest star to regular cast member with this season), top model Cinnamon Carter (Landau's real-life spouse Barbara Bain, who won three Emmys for her work on the show), electronics genius Barney Collier (Greg Morris), and all-purpose strong man Willie Armitage (body builder-turned-actor Peter Lupus). Among the 25 adventures carried out in this seven-disc set: "The Seal," in which the IMF uses a trained cat to assist in the recovery from an important statue from thief Darren McGavin; "The Town," with Phelps discovering that Communists have overrun an entire hamlet; and "The Slave," in which the team tangle with a Middle Eastern slavery ring. Guest stars include Anthony Zerbe, Paul Winfield, Fritz Weaver, and Sid Haig, but it's the team itself that shines the brightest, especially Landau and Bain, who exude the breezy charm of the series itself (though both would depart the show by the following season). Sadly, the second season set includes no extras. -- Paul Gaita
