Customer Reviews

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.

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.
