At long last, Mission: Impossible!

I got my Season Seven set on release day.  It was available at Best Buy at a rather pricey $39.99, but to complete a series and not have to hassle with online orders, it was worth it, I suppose.

It's really nice to have the full and completed series on DVD.  The picture quality of these remastered episodes remain eye-popping.  It's nice to see the excellent Barbara Anderson filling in for Lynda Day on many of these shows.

A fugitive moves on, through anguished tunnels of time, down dim streets, into dark corners. And each new day offers fear and frustration, tastes of honey and hemlock. But if there is a hazard, there is also hope. - Closing narration to THE FUGITIVE, "Death Is The Door Prize".

 One thing I'd like to know-- I know that a lot of newer series are released in surround sound, but the original '60's "MI" is the only retro series that I know of that has surround sound to it. Why is that?

Star Trek TOS has surround sound. The initial release from 1999 had it and the other releases of TOS all had surround sound. The most obvious time is during the opening credits as the Enterprise swooshes by over your left and right shoulder. You can hear surround effects throughout the series. The current blu-ray release of Trek has it too with enhanced sound effects on the reworked episodes with CGI effect.

Could be M:I has surround because it's also from the same studio as Star Trek. I only have the first season of M:I so far and I had not noticed the surround effects. I'll pay attention for it!

The soundtracks to both MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE and STAR TREK have been remixed into 5.1 Surround Sound.

The DVD producers must have had access to the original sound elements in order to do the remixing.  They were indeed originally aired and produced with mono sound.

Both sound acceptable to me - perhaps an improvement over the mono - and not gimmicky nor fake sounding.
