The original Mission: Impossible television show was created by Bruce Geller and was initially made at Desilu Studios in Los Angeles. Paramount, who bought Desilu in 1967, continued to produce the show. It was made in colour, and it ran for about 168 episodes (the exact number depends on how you count multi-part episodes) on CBS Television, between 17 Sep 1966 and 30 Mar 1973.
