Pluto just added the Mission Impossible channel to its lineup. A return to the good old days of the Cold War and the Soviet Menace.

Last year, I was conversing with a much younger coworker about Mission Impossible. When I mentioned that I watched MI on TV every week during my youth, he replied incredulously, "they had a TV series?"  lol

I just love the "Old Stuff".  I have all 7 seasons of MI. I'm going thru Gunsmoke right now. I'm mostly thru season 17 now. I think I'll go thru Have Gun Will Travel next. I'm currently watching "Call Northside 777"(1948) and "13 Rue Madeleine"(1947) will be next.

Been watching it occasionally on Amazon Prime. I love when the SHTF, and they have to scurry to make things right.

Actually stumbled onto "BLACKLIST" on Netflix, starring James Spader.

He plays an global criminal brokering relationships among criminals and politicians, having connections second to none.

The writing on this series is phenomenal.  It will definitely hook you.

Not even close.

Give "Deadwood" and  especially "Lonesome Dove" a look.

Lonesome Dove is something special,regardless of category.

Yeah...22 episodes per season  8 seasons, and I've just reached #10 in Season 1.

Geez...I remember James Spader when he was just a 'kid' in Stargate.   We're getting old, @sneakypete   :laugh:

Been watching it since the beginning. It only gets better. Some episodes of season 3 are a little iffy, But great writing and acting.

Over the weekend, I watched the two-part version of "We The Living" (Ayn Rand's first novel), produced in Italy in 1942. Good and true to the novel (Rand had a say in re-editing it, removing some pro-facist snippets).

It's available "on the net" if you know where to look...

What's this "we" stuff,white man?

BTW,give "Lonesome Dove" a watch. Seriously. Maybe the best thing I have ever seen aired on broadcast tv.

I make it a point to watch Lonesome Dove at least once a year.  McMurty does a heck of a lot implying life's lessons in his work, and does it masterfully.

LOL!  Not only do I have Lonesome Dove DVD'rd already, I've watched it at least 3 times over the years.

...even Return to Lonesome Dove was pretty good.

@catfish1957

And the acting and scenery are perfection. It just draws you in and almost makes you think you there.

Of course,I think "Deadwood" was even better,but given that Lonesome Dove was handicapped by first being aired on broadcast tv. Level the playing field by allowing the characters and scenes in Lonesome Dove to be more accurately portrayed,and Lonesome Dove would even blow Deadwood out of the water.

Let's face it,there are not many characters in Deadwood you would want to be friends with. happy77

@DCPatriot  I am so hooked on it I would probably pay to see out takes at this point. Long series THAT historically accurate,written,and acted just don't come around very often.

Tommy Lee Jones and Robert Duvall together in a Western genre...doesn't get any better than that.  Especially Duvall!

I know both of us are huge Deadwood fans, but I also wondered if the language was AS SALTY, as portrayed.  Yeah, I knew there were hookers, and outlaws, card cheats, etc.  but I always wondered if there was probably a tad more decorum than how they showed it.   I base that on the many many pages of newspapers that i have read doing genealogy.  I have seen articles, where the writers/editors stated that subjects resorted to profanity.  So maybe it wasn't as commonplace as we think.
