List of Mission: Impossible (1966 TV series) episodes
- This article provides a list of episodes from the television series Mission: Impossible.
The television series Mission: Impossible was created by Bruce Geller. It premiered on the CBS network in September 1966 and ran for seven seasons, ending in March 1973. The series was subsequently revived by the CBS network in October 1988, running for two abbreviated seasons before ending in February 1990. This article lists episodes from both series, based upon broadcast order, which often differed considerably from production order.
Original series (1966-1973)
Cast
- Steven Hill as Team Leader Dan Briggs (Season 1)
- Peter Graves as Team Leader Jim Phelps (Seasons 2–7)
- Barbara Bain as Cinnamon Carter (Seasons 1–3)
- Martin Landau as Rollin Hand (Seasons 1–3; Landau was considered a guest star during the first season, even though he appeared in all but two episodes)
- Peter Lupus as Willy Armitage (Seasons 1–7; alternated with Sam Elliott during season 5)
- Greg Morris as Barney Collier (Seasons 1–7)
- Leonard Nimoy as The Great Paris (Seasons 4–5)
- Lesley Ann Warren as Dana Lambert (Season 5 - credited as Lesley Warren)
- Sam Elliott as Dr. Doug Robert a.k.a. Lang (alternated with Lupus during Season 5 and appeared in one Season 6 episode)
- Lynda Day George as Casey (Seasons 6–7)
- Barbara Anderson as Mimi Davis (appeared in about 10 episodes of Season 7 when George was on maternity leave)
- Bob Johnson as the Voice on Tape (uncredited, voice only; all seasons)
Note: The cast changed considerably throughout the program's seven-year run, so not all of the characters listed above appeared at the same time, and even regular cast members did not always appear in every episode, depending upon the mission. The most enduring cast members were Morris and Lupus who appeared in all seasons, while Graves appeared in all but the first season. Season 4 did not feature a regular female role and instead used a number of different actresses (most notably Lee Meriwether who appeared in six episodes as "Tracey"). The character of Casey was not given a first name on screen until her appearance in an episode of the 1980s revival series, that name being Lisa.
