Mission Impossible was a great series, and compared to the recent movie versions, it's still far superior. In it's day, it was landmark TV. Alas, it hasn't stood the test of time as well as some others. By today's standards, it's dated, but we really like the show from a nostalgic view point.
From today's view point, there are far too many plot holes to be believable (e.g. Martin Landau's voiced dubbing, the team apparently knowing how things would play out in advance, etc...) My wife and I enjoyed it more by playing a drinking game when Peter Lupus had a line. Still it was nice to see "the Coach" (Nicholas Colasanto), and other character actors, in another role!
