mission impossible pilot episode intro

[@otakoob]

I watched this just now, and I can't get over how it is still so entertaining today. It ages gracefully.

[@johnsprague4914]

Good writers...... Remember, the people who wrote this show (some) were in WW2, were educated and well read. They had real world/life experience. They were trained, professional writers. Writers today are trained in how to be activists, not how to write stories. "THE MESSAGE" is the most important thing about an activist's work. Plot, character development, story telling, narrative style, dialogue are all secondary. Look at any of the new series coming out (Rings of Power for example). It's crap writing.

[@joksal9108]

No offense, but why does every comment on something more than three weeks old go, “I can’t believe this ancient thing is still good”. Anything that was good in the first place holds up indefinitely.

[@bridgetgregory3876]

Steven Hill's character is like a 'working man James Bond...getting paid an hourly salary'. 😂😂 no suave...no expensive suit/tuxedo...no fancy 'state of the art car' either...but he is very serious in getting the job done regardless.

[@jlmurrel]

He had an aura of gravitas that impressed me, even though I was only nine years old. So serious.

[@nstix2009xitsn]

Steve Hill (listed as Steven Hill) was the original star, but had to bow out, because he refused to work during the sabbath. He was a great character actor with the looks of a leading man. He often played tortured characters, such as a 1963 guest appearance on Naked City, and a supporting role in the 1986 picture, On Valentine’s Day. On Naked City, he played a man driven to be a hero, who had flunked the NYPD’s psychological exam. And so, he went around doing good deeds while impersonating a policeman. It gets him shot by a real bad guy, but he survives, and the real cops salute him. (I saw this episode about 50 years ago as a rerun, but it was that powerful.) In On Valentine’s Day, he plays a desperate, suicidal uncle of the protagonist. He’s a sympathetic character, but you see it coming, and when it comes, he breaks your heart. Many people reading this will have seen an aging, balding Hill as the original DA on Law & Order, beginning in 1991. He was excellent, though in a very limited and underwritten role. Steve Hill lived to be 94.

[@gregorydotson6776]

Also Stephen Hill played in The Untouchables the Tv series back in the 1960's and he played The Mobster Legs Diamond in a Episode.

[@justincase7848]

Just one thing to add, when he signed the contract for mission impossible he made it very very clear that he couldn't work on the Sabbath. The producers agreed but apparently didn't take him seriously, leading them to later diminish his role and then let him go. It's one thing to not support someone religious, but to actually agree to his terms and not take him seriously... Kind of disgusting.

I remember watching the entire series one summer on a local independent station. Such an amazing show.

[@tombennett3827]

Chris McWilliams ah yes, my early experiences watching the show were similar. I started watching parts of episodes of the show when I was 13. I was intrigued, but couldn't figure out what it was about. I decided to watch an entire episode from start to finish to figure this out. It was "The Heir Apparent" where they pass off Cinnamon as a princess coming back to reclaim her throne. After she got the throne and passed it to the Archbishop she and the rest of the team drove away as if to vanish into thin air. That was over 41 years ago, and from that point on I was hooked.

[@cessaly100]

Yep! I loved it as a little preteen in DC! Spellbinding!

[@LibraGamesUnlimited]

@@cessaly100 I was amazed because I had never seen it before and never realized not only the cast changes the show went under but WHO was on it. A young, pre beard, Sam Elliot. Lenard Nemoy (I guess straight off the end of "Star Trek"), Leslie Ann Warren (who will always be Miss Scarlett to me). I never knew these actors were on this show. I just knew the classic cast everyone tends to think of. Hell Peter Graves wasn't even in it until the second season when the original leader had to quit due to conflicts with his religion (I think he was Jewish and the filming conflicted with his religious practices).

[@rayssonation]

"Mission:Impossible" ran for seven seasons on CBS-TV. From September 17,1966 until March 30,1973,producing 171 episodes,all in color. When this Emmy-winning series went off the air in 1973,it was basically the last of the great espionage shows that exploded all over the place during the 1960's. Steven Hill (Dan Briggs),lasted one season before actor Peter Graves(Jim Phelps) took over as head of the IMF force for the next six seasons.

[@danielhaire6677]

And this series only got its chance because, like with Star Trek, Lucille Ball ignored the concerns of her board and advisors to give it one.

Stephen Hill always looked more like a genius to me than Peter Graves. I think it's the beedy eyes and wry smile along with his tight-lipped quiet style.

These are not normal "secret agents"-- just people with certain extraordinary talents that Briggs (and later Phelps) recruited. The whole idea behind using the IMF was plausible deniability. "Hey, they don't work for the US government. Why would a supermodel and a professional impersonator be on OUR payroll?"

[@kenle2]

You could make the case for Rolland - he probably never worked acting jobs "in his own face", and both Willie and Barney did jobs that were fairly specialized, unless you were an electronics buff or a weightlifting fan. But Cinnamon? "Model of the Year"? Guys wouldn't forget her picture.

This is the first scene ever of Mission Impossible, but this has been edited. This episode, when originally presented in 1966, had no theme song. However, when Steven Hill drops the dossier of each member, the actor`s name appeared in yellow on the screen. Steven Hill`s name appeared first, at 2:49. I believe when the episodes were digitalized for syndication in the 80`s, the pilot`s beginning was edited, and an opening theme complete with episode clips, which was originally unused, was added in.

[@jlmurrel]

I don't think so, Richard... I visited the museum of television history in Chicago, and literally checked out the first episode and watch it in it's entirety. I recall the theme song playing from the beginning. The first episode was in black and white, by the way, not in color.

The pilot episode was filmed in December 1965, and first shown on September 17, 1966.

[@pamparker4047]

[@tracywilliams7929]

Briggs apparently had a falling out with the secretary of state and was back only after a long absence. I think he wanted more control over which assignments he would take. The stress of having to take missions even IMF couldn't handle, not to mention the blame, and guilt over captured or dead colleagues must have gotten to him. Even so he seems to have one foot out the door. I guess he rage quitted leaving Phelps to take over. By then, the job was easier to deal with thanks to Briggs. Phelps was also more willing to take full responsibility while the government would hide behind plausible deniability. So much depth of story telling compared to the Tom Cruise ego fest we have today. Really miss this show.😮😢
