30 episodes of Mission: Impossible—The Original Series: on DVD
NOW SHIPPING!
|
Doesn't it just bug you that the only MIs on DVD star that clown Tom Cruise, in a travesty that made Greg Morris walk out in disgust after a few minutes at the Hollywood premiere? WE WANT OUR *REAL* MISSION IMPOSSIBLES!!! The ones where every second of every show was carefully scrutinised to the nth degree by the writers, producers and actors to maintain the HIGHEST SUSPENSE, BELIEVABILITY and ENTERTAINMENT that STILL REMAIN UNPARALLELED in the annals of TV history. These episodes are quite possibly the FINEST TELEVISION CREATIONS EVER PRODUCED!
Why wait around for Paramount to get its sorry act together as Scientologists hem and haw about how many millions the principals should get in Mission: Impossible XIV while simultaneously witholding THE TRUE PRODUCT from our DVD players?
Well, you don't have to any more. I wish I could bring you THE ENTIRE RUN of MI (the classic period) but for now, thirty of the best will have to do. Lovingly transferred from an impeccable source, these DVDs are PRISTINE and perfect, with motion menus, chapter markers, case artwork, and high technology labelling on the DVDs themselves!
(Note: all these episodes feature either Dan Briggs or Jim Phelps—the mix is roughly equal. There are NO EPISODES WITH LEONARD NIMOY. The cast of every one of these episodes is as follows: either Steven Hill or Peter Graves, Martin Landau, Barbara Bain, Greg Morris and Peter Lupus. NO THAO PENGLIS, SUSAN DAY GEORGE. The episodes are MOSTLY in chronological order but this is not a sequential list, just a representative span of the early years. If I can get my hands on more (they're impossible to find) I will add them. I know it's almost a crime to charge for them—MI fans deserve them for free after all this waiting—but I spent tens of 1000s of dollars on the various technologies needed to bring them to fruition plus time and effort, so your dollars will help me to get hard-to-find stuff on DVD in the future.)
