How many members of the Impossible Missions force does it take to change a lightbulb?

Five.

While Cinnamon creates a diversion by seducing the chief of staff, I will sedate the fascist dictator with gas in the elevator. Willie removes the unconscious body disguised in the laundry cart that brought Rollin in. Rollin will impersonate the dictator long enough for Barney to fly the hovercraft up to the tower and unscrew the old lightbulb. Cinnamon will have the replacement lightbulb in her purse, and we'll leave the dictator to face the firing squad for Rollin's actions while we all escape in Willie's laundry truck.

...IT'S RESEARCH I TELL YOU.

They're playing these on one of the digital TV channels here, late at night.

I feel sorry for people who only know Peter Graves from "D'ya ever see a grown man naked?". Jim Phelps was almost as badass as John Steed.

Somebody call Soderbergh, I think we've got Ocean's 14 here.

I wonder how much IMF fan-fiction uses Mr. Briggs instead of Mr. Phelps.

... and if there are any where Mr. Briggs really *is* Orthodox Jewish and has to stop working on the mission at sundown.

But what kind of tea is required for these sorts of capers - that's what I want to know.

Looking forward to it! Almost as much as Through R’lyeh and Carcosa with Gun and Camera!

What I want to know is did the producers of IMF or the network make Sam Elliot shave his mustache? Graves was much hotter than his brother, marshal or no.

Willie's laundry truck will suffer mechanical difficulties, they will be forced to abandon it, and it will be discovered as a duplicated when the real laundry truck arrives.
