Mission Impossible - Original Intro ( 1966 - 1973 )

[intermender]

A really creative and compelling device to use that burning fuse.

[ncoaAAAA]

this is not the original, it´s a remake

[litigantes2004]

Uff tantos recuerdos de mi niñez...

[dngillikin]

From the presence of Lynda Day George in the credits, this looks to be a Season 6 opening.

[TheMcpvideo]

ahhh when tv was good

[MonkeyZorr]

@TheMcpvideo

Someone's not been watching House

[AnonOps96]

Bruce lee often trained to this theme :)

[53rdAndThird]

IT'S NOT LUPUS... oh wait yes it is.

[nvet1953]

One of the coolest,most brilliant shows of the 60s and 70s.....

[jmedia1]

Still one of the greatest themes ever!

[jrmetmoi]

Wow TV used to be good! And with great music along with it that actually stamped out and embossed a mark for each show!

[rowan1325]

Love it

[Wh473v4h]

Every time the wick goes to the right side i think the video is gonna stop :P

[neovintageretro]

wasn't leonard nimoy in this series?

[rcabletn]

I use to like this show until I realized It was state sponsored terrorism. Ever since then I hated It.

[RandyAKing]

Nope. Not the original cast.

[anisuthideyakoindu]

unbeatable version!

[alfcab]

who the hell is linda day george? where's barbara bain? and martin landau?

[greyeyed123]

If the mission is impossible, why even try? I mean, it's IMPOSSIBLE.

Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to turn this circle into a square. Also reverse gravity, and create a perpetual motion machine while giving talent to Justin Bieber.

[lenda1978]

@greyeyed123 Thanks, Sheldon!!

[greyeyed123]

@lenda1978  Mary Cooper didn't raise no dummies.

[MrRetiredOfficer]

@greyeyed123 gravity will be reversed before Bieber EVER acquires any talent.

[Mithlas0]

@greyeyed123: Try watching the show and maybe you'll get it.

Hyperbole and exaggeration are common language elements - most missions aren't "impossible", but many would call them nearly so and that's the point.

[greyeyed123]

@Mithlas0 Look up "verbal irony" and maybe you'll get it. I thought the Justin Bieber crack was enough of a tip (at least it was for the last commenter, and the 15 thumbs up my comment got).

[intermender]

@greyeyed123 Because some things are only impossible because you don't have an IMF team :D

[Arentzen]

@greyeyed123 The first three things - no problem. But the last ... forget it! Not even Santa can help you there.

[dwwolfe1]

This would have after the first season. Steven Hill played Dan Briggs, the original leader of the team in the first season. Each episode's opening was a preview montage of scenes from that episode, so each opening was different.

[842011Marie]

These most be the later seasons.

[PrinceLotor]

1 person has had knowledge of their existence disavowed by the Secretary.

[vccstudents]

I'd love to catch a rerun of this and hear Peter Graves say to Peter Lupus, "Have you ever been in a Turkish prison!" :)

[sharpwolfbabe]

Bruce Geller is the best man in the world!

[maxheedrum100]

@sharpwolfbabe Do you know Bruce Geller? 0_o

[WeDominateKinda]

this is one of me fav intro songs + James bond version

[Splyceboy]

Still the best show opening ever!!!!

[nepatsaz]

I just found his name..Steven Hill

[nepatsaz]

The first season was not with Peter Graves. I dont know the actor's name but his name on the show was Mister Briggs.

[dimpsey3]

THE BEST SHOW EVER IN THE HISTORY OF TV...AND THE MOST INTELLIGENT

[Fidelidad]

Síiiiii, no nos perdíamos capítulo. Es que mi papá siempre se adueñaba del único tv que había no sólo en casa sino en todo el vecindario. Así conocí las grandes series de esa época. Gracias por estos recuerdos.

[edestci]

Peter Graves arrives late at the office in 0:16... sleepy !

[telecastor69]

¡Lalo Schifrin is GOD!

[Nibelungenfrau]

@telecastor69 ... oh yes... !!!! the only one!!!

[monkeysoulpoet]

I have a hard time choosing a greatest TV theme. It would be between this, Batman, Hawaii Five O, Star Trek TOS, and Peter Gunn.

[bladerunner372]

@monkeysoulpoet

I would have to include The Streets of San Fransisco theme song as well!

[monkeysoulpoet]

@bladerunner372 They don't make themes like that anymore!

[0909scofield]

@monkeysoulpoet And for good reason too! You probably think star wars ep 2 is a bad movie too, LOL

[Mooofypoo]

I MUST FIND THIS SHOW.

[ryoushii]

Steven Hill, who played the DA on Law and Order for years, was the first leader of the IM force. He was replaced for personal reasons by Graves starting the second season.

[hakavon]

This is anything BUT the "original". Peter Graves wasn't even in the first season of the series.

[mathpoli]

Lalo Schifrin and is noted for being in 5/4 time. About the unusual timing, Schiffrin declared that "things are in 2/4 or 4/4 because people dance with two legs. I did it for people from outer space who have five legs."

[spacepatrolman]

@mathpoli That sounds like something he would say when he did the heslstrom chronicle he said it was a very good subject insects when people tell him i like your car chase music in bullet he sez the music ended before the car chase started

[GeneralThornton]

Sorry, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen, Jr. ... but your techno remix hasn't the class of Lalo's original.

[mxijel]
