Very good show & wish more of the same,

This review is from: Mission Impossible: 89 TV Season (DVD)
First, I have to say the excellent service I received from Amazon.ca where the copy I received had the first DVD disk defective. The whole set was replace very quickly and now all DVD are fine. Second, we found this '89 series to be better than the '88 series but as we know the '88 series suffered from a writers strike. Both series are for us very good show that entertain us very well. They represent the way very good TV shows used to be made. Our only wish is that more of the same should be made. Unfortunately, this is unlikely to happen because in ours days the writers, director, producer and actor must tell a whole story in about 40 minutes because the rest of the hour is taken by commercials. To me this a near "mission impossible"!

Your mission should you chose to accept it!!,
By Eric Walker - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mission Impossible: 89 TV Season (DVD)
Thanks Paramount for releasing the 88 and 89 seasons on DVD. Never got to see much of these when they first aired but after having bought all the original sets on DVD these shows are must have. I don't know what the fuss is all about on the quality of the picture. Mine is crystal clear and the sound ain't to bad either. People sometimes forget what it was like in the VHS days and days of tv antenna and no cable!!! The episodes are front line and the acting is superb. My only regret is that there could not have been an 1990 season!! One of my favorite episodes of the 89 season is "Target Earth" which goes where no mission impossible show had ever gone before... IN SPACE!! They should have made a movie way back when these actors were still able to. Way better than this garbage we get today with Tom Cruise!! With this series finishing the run on Mission IMpossible, I just want to thank one of the writers Bruce Geller for many great episode well wrote... Rest in peace Jim Phelps! You will not be forgotten!

1989 Repeats 1988's Visual Shortcomings,

This review is from: Mission Impossible: 89 TV Season (DVD)
Multiple reviews on Amazon have referenced the video quality of the Mission: Impossible - The '88 TV Season released in November 2011. As is always noted with any car's advertised EPA Fuel Economy Numbers, your mileage can and will definitely vary from what's advertised. The same can be said when it comes viewing packaged media (DVD/Blu-ray) at home on our individual video and audio systems. As has been demonstrated time and again, title after title, substandard source materials can never reproduce the best viewing experience possible at home.A common theme for many of the reviews on Amazon for the Mission: Impossible - The '88 TV Season video quality was less than favorable including mine. I can now report that the Mission: Impossible - The '89 TV Season DVD's which were just delivered this afternoon have all of the same shortcomings. As more than one reviewer had indicated, the DVD transfers were probably made from the video broadcast masters rather than the original film elements which was pretty much standard operating practice in the late 80's. This leads to all of the same issues that plagued the 88 season's release whose faults can be referenced on that title's reviews which I won't duplicate again here. Understand there is no hidden agenda nor some axe to grind when it comes to Mission Impossible. In the immortal words of Jack Webb: "Just the facts" from many of the reviews which I have found so beneficial in establishing a level of expectation with any or all of the products offered on Amazon. For all of the faults with the Mission: Impossible - The '88 TV Season release, I still went ahead and invested again in the Mission: Impossible - The '89 TV Season DVD's just to complete my library of all 9 seasons of Mission Impossible on television including the 7 seasons of the original show Mission: Impossible - The Complete Series from the mid 1960's to early 1970's. Now those were how I had expected these last two years to be. Sadly, these are not. This is not so much "Buyer Beware" as it is to adjust your own expectations accordingly should you too add this title to your own home viewing library. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful

One of the best shows ever!,
By Goldenchild "Goldenchild" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Mission Impossible: 89 TV Season (DVD)
This show brings back memories as a kid that I will always treasure. Each episode blends the proper amount of action, intrigue and mystery, with an emphasis on how each member of the team utilizes their distinct skills to complete each mission. I wish more shows were on television like this, rather than the common rubbish we see out here.
