Tonight my daughter and I sat down and watched the first episode of
the first season of "Mission: Impossible" on DVD. During an outdoor
scene fairly early in the episode, a church was in the background,
and it looked very much like All Souls Church on TAGS. Then I
noticed some storefronts that looked like ones I had seen on
TAGS. One scene had a character hiding in a doorway, and it looked
like the entry to Floyd's barber shop. I didn't know anything about
the show's production, but I was sure these outdoor scenes were shot
on Forty Acres, though it was obvious that some of the storefronts
had been altered. I watched all the way through the credits and saw
that "MI" was a Desilu production. However, I don't recall anyone
on the digest identifying "Mission: Impossible" as a show that used
the Forty Acres lot. I know "Star Trek" had one episode shot there,
plus a "Batman" show or movie, as well as a couple of films that
have been mentioned. Can anyone confirm for me that these scenes
were shot at Forty Acres?

Hi Janet,
According to Kipp Teague's excellent 40 Acres site:
http://www.retroweb.com/40acres_desilu_years.html it seems that the
first season of Mission: Impossible did indeed use 40 Acres for some
exterior filming. Good noticing!
Robbie
