DVD Reviews of Mission Impossible - The Second TV Season
DVD Review: Mission Impossible Review
Summary: 4 Stars
Much better than the first season. I like Steven Hill in Law & Order, but not in the IM Force.
Peter Graves is a much more animated actor and brings a lot of class to the part of Mr. Phelps.
The stories are realistic, but the props are, as you would expect from the 60's, a bit corny.
Overall, I loved Seasons two and three.I have ordered the fourth season and can't wait to see it with the new caractors. I thought Martin Landau gave the best performance of them all, but I will give you my review of Leonard Nemoy after I watch the fourth season.
DVD Review: It's Mission Impossible... not to admire this series.
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
DVD Review: Wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars
Just wonderful! This show was made so many years ago and in
today's technical standards, what they use in the show may be considerably outdated. Yet, it doesn't seem that way at all since it is so cleverly written and delivered so well by the actors. I used to watch it when I was young and I enjoy now just as much as I did or even more. It is a shame they don't make shows like this any more. Excellent quality show and I love it.
DVD Review: Mission Impossible - 2nd Season
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the first season with Peter Graves as Jim Phelps, the head of the Impossible Missions team. In this season, Jim shows he is willing to put himself in harm's way as well as members of his team. Even though the technology in the episodes is dated, the well written scripts never will be. All of the actors play their parts well and are what made the show what it was. Whenever America is willing to watch intelligently written shows, maybe MI can make a comeback. Even though I don't think this is the best of the seasons, it is well worth having and watching, over and over again.DVD Review: AWSOME!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a wonderful show to look at and was sad when it ended but it's a good thing we have dvd's to watch these shows again and again. The acting is superb. Not too many shows like this exist anymore.
Description 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
