Original series (1966-1973)

Season 1 (1966–1967)

Title	Writer(s)	Director	Original Airdate	Synopsis	#
Pilot	Bruce Geller	Bernard L. Kowalski	September 17, 1966	The Impossible Missions Force (IMF) must retrieve two nuclear warheads being kept in a hotel vault by a Caribbean dictator. Martin Landau "guest stars" as both IMF agent Rollin Hand and the dictator. The "hotel" exterior is the Los Angeles Griffith Park Observatory. This episode is notable as the mission instructions voiced by Bob Johnson are delivered via a rare phonograph instead of a tape. It is also the only episode written by series creator Bruce Geller.	1x01
Memory	Robert Lewin	Charles R. Rondeau	September 24, 1966	An IMF agent with photographic memory allows himself to be captured in order to help discredit a politically connected mass murderer. This is the only "regular-format" episode in which the IMF does not receive its instructions via a recording - Briggs receives printed instructions on a card instead - and as such is the only "regular-format" episode in which Bob Johnson's voice is not heard.	1x02
Operation Rogosh	Jerome Ross	Leonard J. Horn	October 1, 1966	When an Eastern European agent (Fritz Weaver) plans a biological attack on Los Angeles, the IMF must trick him into revealing the type and location of his devices. They convince him it is three years into the future, and that he is on trial for being an American spy. First episode which didn't use the Dossier and Apartment sequences.	1x03
Old Man Out Part 1	Ellis Marcus	Charles R. Rondeau	October 8, 1966	While the rest of the IMF team pose as a traveling circus, Rollin Hand gets himself put into an "inescapable" prison to try to rescue an elderly dissident scheduled to be executed within days, Catholic Cardinal Alexander Vossek. Vosseck is overtly based upon József Cardinal Mindszenty, and his high-profile imprisonment by a totalitarian government in the Eastern Bloc.	1x04
Old Man Out Part 2	Ellis Marcus	Charles R. Rondeau	October 15, 1966	The plan hits a snag when Cardinal Vossek is transferred to another cell.	1x05
Odds on Evil	William Read Woodfield and Allan Balter	Charles R. Rondeau	October 22, 1966	The autocratic prince (Nehemiah Persoff) of a small principality with a casino must be bankrupted before he can use his funds to buy weapons to attack a neighboring state. To accomplish this, the team uses a computer to predict the winning number in a roulette wheel (winning number displayed on a wristwatch), while also rigging a game of baccarat through the use of marked cards which can be seen with special contact lenses. This episode shares many similarities with Ian Fleming's Casino Royale.	1x06
Wheels	Laurence Heath	Tom Gries	October 29, 1966	Dan Briggs and his IMF team must "un-rig" an election in order to prevent a corrupt government from taking power. This episode guest stars Mark Lenard of Star Trek fame as an unscrupulous bureaucrat.	1x07

The Carriers	William Read Woodfield and Allan Balter	Sherman Marks	November 19, 1966	The IMF infiltrates an artificial American town located behind the Iron Curtain where enemy agents are trained to act and think like Americans for an unknown mission. The concept of a simulated American town being used to train agents had previously been used in the Danger Man episode Colony Three and would later be used in the Alias episode, Welcome to Liberty Village. This episode also shares many similarities with Ian Fleming's novel On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Guest stars George Takei.	1x10
Zubrovnik's Ghost	Robert Lewin	Leonard J. Horn	November 26, 1966	In this "haunted house" episode, IMF agents Rollin Hand, Barney Collier and Ariana Domi (played by Martine Bartlett) pose as investigators of the supernatural in order to find out why a scientist believes the ghost of her dead husband is telling her to go behind the Iron Curtain. The opening tape sequence utilizes the same location as the germ laboratory in the previous episode, "The Carriers"	1x11
Fakeout	Leigh Chapman	Bernard L. Kowalski	December 3, 1966	Cinnamon Carter romances the ill-mannered leader of an international narcotics syndicate in order to fool him into crossing the border into a country where American authorities can finally arrest him.	1x12

The Reluctant Dragon	Chester Krumholz	Leonard J. Horn	January 14, 1967	Rollin Hand and Barney Collier must convince a scientist to defect to the West and join his wife in the United States. This episode guest stars John Colicos of Star Trek fame as a ruthless security official.	1x16
