Decades is showing Mission:Impossible this weekend. Of worthy note for railfans is "The Train" episode shown early Sunday morning 8 AM ET/PT (consult your listings as Decades is a DTV station operated by CBS affiliates.) The Train is a pre-Peter Graves episode (Stephen Hill of Law and Order was in the first season before Graves took over) involving a dying leader of a European nation who has a successor - - only the future leader plans anarchy and murder of his enemies. To prove to the dying king of his successor's true intentions, the IMF team uses an elaborate (and clever) train in a rail yard to get all players aboard then uses a simulator to stage an scheme to trick the successor. It is a great episode to watch, as well as most of the series' episodes this weekend.

And for those who don't have "Decades", you can see it right here, now. :)

Obviously somewhere in California, back in those days TV budgets weren't all that big for traveling, even at CBS.

More like Desilu not having the money - remember at this time they were also producing Star Trek. M:I and Trek were the two expensive hours on TV at the time, and Desilu was in quite perilous financial shape as it was, to point where Desilu had to sell out to Paramount, which made one of the best long term investments in Hollywood history - Lucy ended up getting $3 million in Gulf and Western stock for the whole shebang.

Yeah, forgot all about that. At the time, CBS was extremely tight-fisted as well which probably didn't help either.

Didn't always need to go far, either.
