6 Things the 'Mission: Impossible' TV Show Did Better Than Tom Cruise's Movies

Years before Tom Cruise began running faster than Olympic sprinters, there was the Mission: Impossible TV series. The show aired from 1966 to 1973 on CBS, before being revived in the late ’80s by ABC. Like the movies, it centered on the Impossible Missions Force (IMF) — a secret spy organization that kept the world safe by taking on dictators, corporate villains, and Communist-leaning criminal masterminds. However, this IMF had no Ethan Hunt. It was led by Dan Briggs in Season 1 and Jim Phelps in later seasons.
