Mission: Impossible is an American television series that chronicles the missions of a team of secret American government agents known as the Impossible Missions Force (IMF). For most of the show's run, Peter Graves played Jim Phelps, the IMF leader.

The series aired on the CBS network from September 1966 to March 1973. It returned to television for two seasons on ABC, from 1988 to 1990 and later inspired a popular trio of theatrical motion pictures in the 1990s and 2000s.
