A Mr. Mike episode review of the original Mission would be awesome but as you mention, there are 7 seasons to write up at the Mr. Mike level of detail. Patrick White has a very good book on Mission if you would rather sit back and watch.

Mission is all about leaving your brain at the door sometimes. There are also some episodes where I wonder if they were better when they originally aired based on the technology at the time. For example, would this episode work if cell phones were available?

Thanks for posting the links to the blog / review. I like seasons 2 and 3 as the classic Mission line up with season 3 being my favorite. Season 5 is good as it does challenge the premise of the show at times. However, you have to have the first four seasons to establish the show first. Dana Lambert is also my least favorite of the Mission women. I wish Lee Meriwether as Tracey would have been made a permanent star on the show. Season 5 also introduces Dr. Doug often at times at the sacrifice of Willy. In some episodes Doug isn't even being used as a Dr. I realize one could say the same thing about Willy using his strength on a mission.

I agree with most of the episodes listed. My favorite episodes:
The Mind of Stefan Milkos
The Killer
The Council
Live Bait
The Innocent
The Exchange
The Question
Submarine
Double Dead
Short Tail Spy

I plan to take either another run through the original Mission (just picked up the Blu Ray set) or another rewatch of Kojak after I finish my rewatch of Five O. I only have season 12 left (gulp).
