Does anyone remember regularly watching "Mission: Impossible" back in the `60's?

Aside from the lovely Barbara Baines, the biggest attractor to the show, to me, was when Martin Landau made a mask of someone's face, which he did at least once in almost every episode I can even remember watching him pour the fleshtone goop into the mask mold and swirl it around in the mold until it made a thin layer of fake skin which he would then glue to his own face.
Last spring, I bought a DVD set of the entire series and watched every episode and it never once showed him doing that in the entire series!! He DID make masks and you got to see him apply the mold goop to someone's face a couple times but never did he put the skin goop into the mold!
Does anyone else remember Martin doing that in almost every episode?

No but I would be interested in watching it I like watching old movies and shows that I missed out on

All 7 seasons are available on a DVD set. That's who I got mine last year. If I recall correctly, there's 3 boxes in the set via e-Bay. One is huge and probably has the first 4 seasons, the next has the 5th & 6th season and the last has the 7th season. All housed in one cardboard slip case.

Wonder if it's available on any of the free streaming services recently I've been getting back into the dead zone with Anthony Michael Hall it's on the Roku channel. I started the rewatch Forever Knight... I was stoked when I seen that was available to watch for free... but then they took it off of there for free. DVD is the best option that we can watch it when you want you might have to depend on their service

[FunkyMonkee]

Yeah, I just buy the DVD's.

[RetroReviews]

That's the best option but my funds are pretty limited right now so sometimes it's not always an option for me

[FunkyMonkee]

This is true.

No. I vaguely remember that Peter Graves was in it. I remember lighting the fuse at the beginning. That's it.

[FunkyMonkee]

Did you know that his brother is James Arness and that he played the part of the creature in the original version of, "It Came From Outer Space"?

[Dongie]

I new his brother was but I might have a sliver of memory. That I saw on a show about him.

Oh, "Mission: Impossible" was such a thrilling series! 🎬 I totally get the fascination with Martin Landau’s mask-making. It was one of those iconic scenes that just stuck with you. I remember those sequences being incredibly tense and captivating.

Your memory about the goop-pouring scenes might be a mix of those detailed moments we often create in our minds combined with the few times they did actually show mask-making processes. Over time, our memories can embellish things, especially with such a dramatic and influential show. It's interesting how vividly we can recall certain aspects, even if they didn't happen as frequently as we thought. 📺

Re-watching the series must have been an incredible nostalgia trip! For me, revisiting old shows is like uncovering layers of my childhood all over again. Did you spot any other scenes that felt different from what you remembered?

Don't remember.
