Barney, Dan, Cinnamon, Willy
Season 1, 1966/67, 27 episodes plus the pilot show
Producer Joseph Gantman
Regular Team: Dan Briggs is leader of the Impossible Missions Force, apparently an independent organisation that undertakes under cover work for the US government, and he usually recruits stage magician Rollin Hand, model Cinnamon Carter, electronics expert Barney Collier and professional strong man Willy Armitage to assist him in his mission
The opening credits for the first season are:
In most shows, after the main credit sequence:
The original regular cast consisted of Steve Hill, who played Dan Briggs, Barbara Bain, who played Cinnamon, Greg Morris, who played Barney and Peter Lupus, who played Willy. (More details on the Cast page.)
Martin Landau was not under contract for this series, but he appeared in the pilot as a guest star. His character was not intended to be a regular, but it proved very popular, and as a result Landau was hired (and paid) as a guest star for most shows in the first season.
The show was made by Desilu Productions, the studio founded by comedienne Lucille Ball and her husband Desi Arnaz, and originally aired on the CBS network.

Episodes were often not broadcast in the same order that they were produced, especially at the begining of a season. I have therefore given three numbers in this table.
The episode number represents the production order over the entire series, the season number represents the episode production order within the season, and TX Order represents the original transmission order.
For example, Operation Rogosh was the fourth episode made, but the third shown.
Desilu's convention was to give double episodes, such as Old Man Out, just one episode number.
