36 Years Ago Today, An Iconic TV Show’s Forgotten Sequel Ended (But the Reboot Six Years Later Is Better)

The hugely successful Mission: Impossible franchise began with the original television series created by Bruce Geller for CBS in 1966. The show ran for seven seasons, until 1973, and stood out from typical procedural dramas by focusing on the details of the heists themselves, rather than the agents carrying them out. Led by the calm and collected Jim Phelps (played by Peter Graves), the Impossible Missions Force operated like a precision instrument, using disguises, advanced technology, and clever psychological tactics to defeat dictators and criminal organizations. The show’s distinctive Cold War style—complete with Lalo Schifrin’s famous theme music in 5/4 time and self-destructing tapes—helped it become a pop culture icon. While there was a later attempt to revive the series, it wasn’t very successful and has largely been forgotten. This 1988 sequel, which continued the story from the original 1960s show, struggled to capture the same magic and ended after two seasons on February 24, 1990 – 36 years ago.

28 Years Ago Today, This Buffy Death Shocked Us All & Set Up the Show’s Best Season Finale

The second season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer is when the show really hit its stride, largely thanks to the dramatic change in the character of Angel, who became the villainous Angelus. He’s considered one of the show’s best villains, and the latter part of the season focuses on his cruel manipulation of Buffy. This culminates in Episode 17, “Passion,” where his psychological torment of her reaches a devastating peak with the shocking death of Jenny Calendar.

It’s Time to Give 2025’s Most Underrated RPG Another Try

2025 had a surprising number of excellent, but overlooked, RPGs – so many that it’s easy to have missed some. Luckily, one of those games is gaining popularity again, and I think it deserves the attention. That’s why I highly recommend Avowed, the fantasy RPG from Obsidian Entertainment, to everyone. Especially since 2026 hasn’t offered many strong RPGs yet, it’s a great time to appreciate everything Avowed does well.

A24 Reveals Creepy New Horror Movie That Started on 4Chan – Watch the Trailer

The Backrooms started as an idea on the online forum 4chan in 2019. It’s a fictional, endlessly large place of empty rooms that people become trapped in by seemingly phasing through walls – a phenomenon called “no-clipping.” The concept began with a photo of a Wisconsin toy store being renovated, shared on a paranormal-themed board. Users were asked to share unsettling pictures of empty locations. One user described the original photo, unknowingly creating the name and legend of “The Backrooms.” They described it as a place filled with the smell of damp carpet, unsettling yellow tones, the constant hum of fluorescent lights, and countless empty rooms – a truly inescapable space.

Marathon Cinematic Trailer is All About the Wily (and Desperate) Rook

Okay, so the trailer showed this crazy scene after a fight – wreckage and pieces of a squad floating in the water. Then, these enemy robots show up, and our guy, the Rook, just drops down and starts scavenging through the debris. But get this – one of the wrecked bots, a Destroyer, was still alive! The Rook had to blast it, which of course, alerted the other robots. It looks like our guy had to bail, maybe to come back and loot again later.
