TV buffs and historians will recall that the original spy series Mission: Impossible ran on CBS network television from 1966 through 1973 - spanning seven seasons - and achieved considerable popularity. It starred Peter Graves as Jim Phelps, the head of a secret government agency known as the Impossible Missions Force (IMF). Episodes concerned the IMF's efforts to crack cases of extreme international importance, many of which involved capturing criminals or bringing hostages home safely. Supporting characters included Cinnamon Carter (Barbara Bain), Rollin Hand (Martin Landau), Paris (Leonard Nimoy), and Doug Robert (Sam Elliott). Then, in 1988 - fifteen years after the program's initial run -- Graves reprised his role as Phelps for a two-season revival of the series in prime time. IMF was still as covertly active as ever, though gone were Cinnamon, Rollin and the other original supporting cast members, replaced by a new team of IMF operatives such as Nicholas Black (Thaao Penghlis), Phil Morris (Grant Collier) and Shannon Reed (Jane Badler). This box set contains all 19 episodes from Season One of the 1988-90 series, including The Condemned, The Legacy, The Wall, The Pawn and The Haunting.

A decade before TV saw another silver-haired slow-drawling Southern shyster with a knack for sleuthing out the truth M-G-M welcomed back two titanic talents TV producer Norman Felton and screen legend Jimmy Stewart for Hawkins. Stewart played Billy Jim Hawkins in rotation with the Shaft TV movies (Talk about Country Mouse and City Mouse!) solving crimes alongside his cousin RJ (Strother Martin) and a bevy of sensational costars. Bonnie Bedelia plays a troubled young woman accused of familicide Cameron Mitchell plays a tinseltown spouse facing murder charges Julie Harris plays an accused mercy killer William Windom plays a parent with a vendetta Lew Ayres and James Best play folk caught up in a deadly Civil War re-enactment James Luisi plays a football pro caught up in foul play Teresa Wright plays an ex-amour of Bill Jim's and Paul Burke and Pernell Roberts play a senator and aide caught up in a slaying.

I normally don't care much for James Stewart as an actor, but this particular show is an exception. The storylines are great and Stewart is quite interesting. Even though there were only 8 episodes made, they run 75-80 minutes and are considered "movies". That's why there were only 8 made. Walmart has the DVD available and for anyone who is interested in legal dramas, this would be worth it.
The first show on each DVD played. However, the second show on each disk would not play after about a minute. I tried multiple players, cleaning the disks etc and no luck. I was only able to watch four of the eight shows. very disappointing. Did Warner do a bad job burning the DVDs? The episodes I could watch didn't seem up to par with other Stewart performances. I thought the story lines were weak, and the plots didn't follow through. James Stewart is a great actor, but the character of Billy Joe Hawkins made him hillbilly and silly. The purchase of this series was a big mistake not only because the DVDs didn't perform and that James Stewart's performance was beneath his acting ability. Stay away from this one and purchase some of his movies instead.
