Mission: Impossible premiered in September 1966 on CBS and the first season ran for 28 episodes until April of 1967. Developed by Bruce Geller, the show was originally envisioned as a heist film which assembled a team of required specialists. The series rode the espionage wave that started with the James Bond series in the early sixties which also spawned series like The Avengers, I Spy and The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
Almost every episode followed the same sequence, with Impossible Missions Force team leader Dan Briggs (Steven Hill) receiving his instructions from innocuous sources, like photo booths or antique shops, and then assembling a team from his folio of dossier photos. Some or all of the regulars are then selected, with a few guest stars sprinkled in as IMF members with specific skills necessary to the mission, like safe-cracker, doctor, or acrobat.
The show started out with only four regular cast members, team leader Dan Briggs, model Cinnamon Carter (Barbara Bain), electronics expert Barney Collier (Greg Morris), and strongman Willy Armitage (Peter Lupus). Martin Landau, who played actor, impressionist, and master of disguise Rollin Hand was always listed as a special guest star, due to Landau's unwillingness to sign a television contract which might restrict his ability to accept film roles. Landau had originally planned to make only a few appearances, but Steven Hill's numerous absences forced the writers to expand the role of Rollin Hand to compensate, making Landau the de facto lead actor. Producers and Landau, who was married to Barbara Bain at the time, were eventually able to reach a compromise, with Landau signing one year contracts each season.
Season 1 was the only season for Steven Hill, who was unceremoniously fired at the end of the season. As an Orthodox Jew, Hill was unable to work on the Sabbath (sundown on Fridays til sundown on Saturdays), which was a condition the producers had agreed to when he was cast. The producers soon realized just how restricting those conditions were, which forced them to reuse footage, reduce Briggs' role, and hire guest actors to play roles Briggs would've played on missions, driving up costs. The show's constant shooting delays were exacerbated by Hill's absences, and Hill was often moody and difficult to work. To top it all off, network executives didn't particularly like him, so it was hard to justify keeping him. As the show never did much to develop the characters, the departure of Briggs was never explained, nor was the ascension of his replacement Jim Phelps (Peter Graves) in Season 2. Hill then effectively retired from show business for the next decade, finally reemerging in 1977 and playing small roles in films and television shows before he was cast in Law & Order.
The first season was popular with critics, winning Emmys for Best Dramatic series and Writing Achievement in Drama. Barbara Bain won the first of her three consecutive Emmys for Actress in a Leading Role in a Dramatic Series for playing Cinnamon Carter (one for every year she was on the show), and Martin Landau won a Golden Globe for Actor in a Television Series – Drama, despite technically not being a real cast member. Creator and writer Bruce Gellar won an Emmy for Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series and the third episode, "Operation Rogosh," went on to win the Edgar for Best Episode in a TV series. Ratings were not as good as hoped, especially for a show as critically acclaimed (and expensive), prompting CBS to move the show from its original Saturday night time slot to one on Sunday night for Season 2, where it found a larger audience.
