These TV Shows Did So Well That They Got Box Office Spin-Offs

1960's Mission: Impossible

Before Tom Cruise took on the lead role of Ethan Hunt, the 1960s spy movie starred Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner. It ran from 1966 to 1973, and each episode began with the lead characters receiving their mission from a voice recording device that would self-destruct after concluding its message. It was pretty high-action for a program during the flower power era.
