Mission: Impossible (1966)
Total Seasons Aired: 7
This 7-year series chronicled the adventures of the Impossible Mission Taskforce (IMF), a team of government spies and specialists who were assigned "impossible missions" by the unseen "Secretary". Although the cast varied over the years, the main characters included The Team Leader (Dan Briggs the first season, then Jim Phelps the other six), The Techno-Wizard (Barney Collier), The Strongman (Willy Armitage), The Master of Disguise (first Rollin Hand, then The Amazing Paris), and The Femme Fatale (Cinnamon Carter, Casey, Dana Lambert, Mimi Davis). The series is best known for its opening mission assignment (conducted by a pre-recorded tape), the leader's selection of mission agents from a dossier, the opening briefing, the intricate use of disguises and a typical "mask pulloff" scene near the end of most episodes, and the relative lack of characterization of the characters.

Ah yes, the standard MI plot device of having one of the regular characters put on a rubber face mask, then tug on the jaw a few times, and presto! They had magically turned into one of the guest stars. And they would remain that person until the very end, when there'd be a shot of the regular performer tearing off the last bits of rubber and adhesive from their face.

@crankyasianman Boy, as recent as 2009?! I know I never heard she died. You wonder why, if the part is small, she'd do it at all. I guess, maybe, just to let us know she's still around. But, gee,thanks for letting me know ! :-D
