1Awesome moments in the ''Series/MissionImpossible'' TV series. For the Awesome page of the ''Mission: Impossible'' films, see [[Awesome/MissionImpossibleFilmSeries here]].
2----
3* The already awesome theme music has a PublicSecretMessage: the Morse Code symbol for the letter M is "dash-dash"; for the letter I, it's "dot-dot". So the theme music, which is built around a "dash-dash, dot-dot" rhythm, is also typing out the show's initials in Morse Code.
4* In "The Legend", Rollin pulls the rug out from under the villain of the week and his scheme to resurrect the Nazis through a dummy impersonating Martin Bormann by... ''impersonating Martin Bormann''. The OhCrap expression on the BigBad's face as everyone else ''heil''s "Bormann" is '''priceless'''.
5** This is not the first time. Previously? He managed to bluff a group of Nazis that he was part of a secret society, despite knowing literally nothing about their plans, and ended up recovering $300 MILLION in Nazi Gold.
6* In "Death Squad", when Barney and his cellmate are about to be hanged by a corrupt police force for crimes they (certainly Barney) didn't commit, Mr. Collier's refusal of a blindfold drives his formerly nervy colleague to take his punishment like a man and similarly decline. Fortunately this doesn't become a DyingMomentOfAwesome for either of them, as the rope has been rigged to break by the IM Force as part of the rescue.
7* Several installments, like "The Killer", "The Council" (parts one ''and'' two), "The Mind Of Stefan Miklos", "Operation Rogosh" and "The Heir Apparent" are basically Episodes Of Awesome.
8* Don't forget "The Cardinal". Everything about it is awesome.
9* In "The Short Tail Spy" Cinnamon fights against an assassin whose MO is to murder women he seduces. She seduces him instead, leading to causing him a heavy dose of karma, and likely permanently damaging his attempts to modernize the entire enemy spy system!
