The Hunchback of Notre Dame

Mission: Impossible
Self-destructs The TV show followed a strict formula: every week, the Impossible Mission Force pulled off some outrageously contrived sting operation against the evil dictator of a small third world country. No soap, just pure plot, with a solid ensemble … Continue reading
