    A feature of the opening titles during only the first season was that each time the animated "fuse" would revert to the left, the picture behind it would shift to the left as well. This (supposedly) gave the impression that we were "panning" across a multiple wide view of the action. Starting in season 2 the picture did not shift when the fuse did.

    The original one was used in Seasons 1 thru 4. Then the way-too-fast one was used in Season 5. The original came back in Season 6, and then hip one was used in Season 7. This montage covers all three in the order they were used. And the last one is the late 1980s remake.
    Nicely done.

    I was only 3-years old when the series started. I remember seeing the fuse burn across the television screen many times so my parents must have watched it regularly.
    I caught an episode a few years ago on MeTV & decided to watch the entire series on Paramount+. Some of the multi-part episodes seemed a bit dry but I loved watching it overall. Just for fun I made a video last summer of my 3 & 6-year old grandchildren watching the opening for S1.E3 Operation Rogosh. When Willy karate chopped the guy with the rifle & they both did a karate chop in unison. Those little ones are characters.

      I also like the 90's version of the theme song. That version of the theme would give the season 1 version of Mission Impossible a run for its money. But the original is the best. Also, the Mission Impossible movies are completely different than the original series. The closest Mission Impossible film that would be closest to the series is the first one. If they did not have the Phelps character as a traitor and have Phelps retire, then that film would have been improved.

    It's funny how the cinematography changed from the 1960s to the 1980s versions.
    The 1960s montage is darker. Most of the scenes happen at night. It suggests Cold-War-era espionage and intrigue, similar to early James Bond movies.
    The 1980s version, on the other hand, is reminiscent of action movies from that decade. It's slicker, more brightly lit, and has more explosions and computer-y stuff.
