Mission Impossible's Peter Graves dies

The actor was 83. I was a bit young for "Mission Impossible" when it first took the air, but enjoyed the reruns. Even moreso, I enjoyed all the mythos that went along with the show, i.e. "this tape will explode...," the cool opening credits and Lalo Shifrin's theme song.

And, perhaps due to my relative youth, I didn't realize until today that Graves was James Arness' younger brother. Here's an obituary from Variety. And here's the cool opening theme song.
