I remember the remake/sequel series. It aired on ABC from 1988-90. Many of the episodes were remakes of the older ones. I actually quite liked it, too. I think they did around 36 episodes total. Peter Graves was a regular, and some of the older cast members came back for appearances. CBS later re-ran some of these in a late night slot before they added Letterman to their line-up.
I'd like to see a DVD releases for the old and newer series. I thought the movies were pretty awful.

They really would be cool in 2003 if the show was still running, repcaing stars as they got too old or auto accidents killed off a star like Jeffrey Hunter of Star Trek:TOS.
My favorite episode was when they faked a atomic war for guest star Anthony Zerbe of The Omega Man and Admiral Dowerty in Star Trek: Insurrection. That was one too cool TV series In My Humble Opinion.

Didn't Greg Morris guest on the remake, playing Phil Morris' father?
As for my favorite, Peter Graves as Mr. Phelps. Special mention to Jane Badler, from the remake, because she looked so damn_hot - although, for most of her scenes, i half expected her to hiss & stick out a forked tongue .

Back on topic, I remember this ep of MI and it is one of my faves too.

Rollin Hand, absolutely. He was much cooler than that Nimoy hack they got to replace him... Just kidding, Nimoy was good too, but he was no Martin Landau.

danol, as has been mentioned in another thread by someone else, Jeffrey Hunter turned down the offer of a lead role in TOS. He died a couple of years later. Further, he didn't die in a car accident. He was injured on a movie set, said injuries likely led to a stroke while he was on the stairs at his house in LA. He fell and broke his skull, later to die in surgery.

I was always somewhat interested in him because he graduated from the same College (Northwestern University, Evanston, IL) as I, 20 years before I did, and the same high school (Whitefish Bay High School, Whitefish Bay, WI), 20 years before I did. He died about two weeks before I graduated from Northwestern.

Rollin was mega cool, but as AGNmike said, Barney was The Man. Never got flustered and always did the job.
