The fact that "Hawaii Five-0" ran for 12 seasons speaks volumes of its popularity; until "Law & Order" came around, it was television's longest running crime series.
"Mission: Impossible" took advantage of the spy craze of the 1960s and, while not enjoying the longevity of "Hawaii Five-0," was "must see TV" every Saturday night when it was originally broadcast.
