  • Seeing Double
I am glad I watched all the episodes before reviewing, because if I'd followed my first impulse and done so after discs 1 and 2, I would probably have given this only one star. Why? Because most of the episodes were near-perfect copies of episodes from the original series. Not only that, they weren't even the best episodes. In fact, most of them even kept the titles and large chunks of the dialog. The most substantial changes are in the form of more impressive technology. Take the series premier episode. It's a retelling of Season 5's "The Killer," transplanted to London and with John De Lancie stepping into the Robert Conrad role. He even squashes three fake golf balls into his explosive. Biggest difference? He attacks from the floor below instead of the floor above. This "double exposure" was more than occasionally disconcerting. For example, "The System" is a nearly exact duplicate right down to the dialog, but with Peter Graves stepping into the role played by Martin Landau. It was interesting to see how a different actor interpreted identical lines, but to anyone familiar with the original series, there was a palpable sense of "wrongness." Generally, the cast is likeable. Greg Morris's son, Phil, steps in as Barney's son, Grant, an even more impressive tech wizard than his father. Thaao Penghlis is the team's master of disguise, and brings a cool, urbane sensibility to the role. Antony Hamilton was the muscle, but had more range as an actor than Peter Lupus had. The original female lead, Terry Markwell was killed in the line of duty and officially "disavowed." Which brings up a side point. This is supposedly an American team, and all team members have American passports, but only Graves and Morris speak American English. When Jane Badler joined the cast, the "American" team members moved into the majority. Peter Graves looks dreadful here. It's hard to believe he was only in his early sixties when these were shot. He looks at least a decade older. But he does get the occasional good line, such as wry comments on the changes wrought by time. Greg Morris had the occasional guest spot as Barney Collier. For example, in "The Condemned." he takes the place of Kevin Hagen as Jim's friend, "unjustly convicted of murder." There are a few original twists, but for the most part if you've seen the Season 2 episode, you've seen the 1988 version. But when the show produces original plots, things pick up a bit. The cast is likeable and the plots above average, if not up to the quality of the original series. Mildly entertaining but not memorable. ... show more

  • MI was one of my all time favorite TV shows
MI was one of my all time favorite TV shows; especially the first three seasons with what I consider the original casts. I especially liked Steven Hill and was disappointed when Peter Graves took over in second season. But with the remaining cast from the first season Graves did not skip a beat and after a while he became the man. (His brother James Arness of Gunsmoke fame, was also a favorite of actor of mine and I am glad both achieved fame in their respective shows.) I was sorely disappointed when Bain and Landau did not return. So I was excited to see the 88 and 89 seasons which I missed. This is pretty much in parts updated stories from the original series. I enjoyed seeing Greg Morris in his cameo roles and his son did a decent job as his successor. Overall though not as good as the original series. I did not realize how much cursing had moved into the series for you never heard that so much in the original series. I hate shows with so much cursing. Yet, I really enjoyed the one where Barney is left behind. So for all MI fans this is the best. I don't particularly care for the movie remakes of TV shows because it is too much of the special effects. There is still some acting in this series and that is a plus for me. I recommend watching. ... show more

  • Well Worth The Wait !
A result of a writers strike in the late 80's, it was decided to make a second generation series of Mission Impossible episodes. This series consists of updated versions of re-written scripts from the original 60's series, although you might hardly notice that. Jim Phelps comes out of retirement, Barney is replaced by his real life son as the tech guru, the others are not from the original series but play their parts very well. Everything is updated to late 80's technology in regards to all of the " tools of the trade " used in these episodes. Video and Audio quality are the same as with the original Mission Impossible series on DVD, absolutely excellent. For anyone that has the complete set of the 1960's Mission Impossible, I would say these are must haves as I doubt Mission Impossible will ever be made again. I have watched many of the original series over and over again and I am sure I will of these as well. There is just so much detail crammed into each episode, every time you watch one of them over again more not before noticed detail will come out. Get them while they are still available. ... show more

  • Even though I really enjoyed these 2 seasons
I remember watching Mission Impossible as a kid and even some reruns in the past. I have the original Mission Impossible collection from the 60's and thought I should complete it with the 80's seasons. Even though I really enjoyed these 2 seasons, I guess I was expecting it to be a little more creative since we had more visual special effects in those days (80's) than in the 60's but was a little disappointed. Overall they were great and I enjoyed adding them to my collection. ... show more

  • The definitive, modern Mission Impossible; not available anywhere else
I think this is actually the definitive MI. The movies are good action films but lake the spy/caper move aspect that made the franchise famous, and the original series is too dated now and lacks the high-tech aspect. These are the best ones from that perspective. Apparently not available to stream/download anywhere currently, either. ... show more

  • Mission: Impossible The 88 & 89 TV Seasons
This was not quite as good as the original 1960's and 70's TV series, but it was close. I liked the updated use of technological advances of electronics and computers, although they didn't quite have cell phones yet. I'm glad to have this DVD set as at the time of the writer's strike, I was not able to see all of the episodes and it's refreshing to have the entire collection. This is in addition to the original TV series that I have on DVD as well. Mission Complete. ... show more
