Bookmark http://www.gnudawn.co.uk/mission/ to keep up to date with the latest Mission: Impossible information. The M:I site is hosted by TalkTalk, and the actual address is http://www.gnudawn2.talktalk.net/mission/index.html, but the address given above will be pointed at the current URL, even if it changes.
All seven seasons are now available on DVD. If you look around, you can pick up some bargains. For example, Adrian has pointed out that WH Smith have some seasons in the UK for £11.93, as have Amazon.
A box set of all seven seasons is available in the UK. HMV have it for £149.99. However, Amazon UK's price was £87.47 when I last looked. Play have it for £92.99.
It is also available in North America, with a list price of $279.98 - Amazon US have it for $149.49. The Canadian list price is CDN$295.99, and Amazon Canada have it for CDN$155.39.
Note that the prices quoted are what I found at the end of September 2011, but they are liable to change.
Although not strictly within the scope of this site, you might like to know that the 1988 revival series will also shortly be available on DVD. Thanks to Lars-Erik Wikberg for letting me know about that. Called Mission Impossible: The 88 TV Season, the region 1 version is due for release on 29 November. The list price is $39.98, but if you pre-order it you should be able to shave more than ten bucks off that. Here are some links: Amazon, CD Universe, DVD Universe and Walmart. A Google search will find more.
I can't see any sign of a release in other territories.

Mission: Impossible in the UKBelow is the result of a search of DigiGuide's database for any Mission: Impossible broadcasts to the UK over the next few days. The CBS Action broadcasts are of the 1988 revival, not the original show.

Radio Times:
Quest: Mission: Impossible in North AmericaUSAKymberleigh Richards has written to say: MeTV (a nationwide network which runs on digital subchannels nationwide) will add MI to the schedule starting Tuesday, November 29 at 2:00am, on weekdays. That probably sounds like a terrible time slot, but it will be part of a block which also includes The Untouchables and Peter Gunn, and with so many stations running paid commercials in the middle of the night, it will be a welcome alternative. Most of us TiVo overnight shows anyway. Here's the network website: http://metvnetwork.com/. There is a map at the MeTV website that lets you find if there is an affiliate station in your area: http://metvnetwork.com/wherewatch.php CanadaTV LandCanadian TV Land has shown Mission: Impossible in the past, although it doesn't appear in their current schedule. Neville Ross has written to say MI is not showing anywhere in Canada, as far as he knows.

This site doesn’t really deal with the Mission: Impossible movies — I think the first one only bore a very slight resemblance to the TV series, and the resemblance is even slighter for the second (M:i-2). However, the films proved popular, with the first taking $454m, and the second $546m. The receipts for the latest film were said to be “disappointing”, although it still managed to gross $48 million for its US opening weekend.
Paramount’s official site at www.missionimpossible.com has information about the third movie M:i:III.
