What's Your Favorite Barney Concealment Device? One
posted by Maria KellySTAFFMOD on July 13, 2017 at 10:29 AM
One of my favorite parts of Mission: Impossible was when Barney would have to be hidden in some type of container so he could be sneaked into the place to set up the surveillance, etc. devices needed for the mission (I always admired Greg Morris for putting up with this. In fact, one of my favorite season six episodes is The Visitors, when Barney is driving the car and Jim and Casey have to hide in the trunk for a change!)
My favorite Barney hiding place was inside a Conference Table (yes, you read that right) in the season three episode The Play. What's yours?

@Jetfire59 and Jayn1111: could you give me your opinions about the OP? I always felt that Barney didn't get enough credit from the fans about all of those different containers that Greg Morris had to climb into for the show's seven seasons. Thanks.

Barney was the MAN! He was my favorite character. My favorite concealment thingamajig was this thing he wrapped around a table's legs to make it look like it was normal but he was actually under the table. I think a dog almost exposed him, not sure. Lots of time and cannabis since I saw it.
My all time favorite Barney gadget was in the two part season three ep "The Bunker". He used a little remote control hovercraft flying through the air vents of a prison bunker in order to get a hypo to a prisoner to induce a fake heart attack. LOVED that little saucer! I re-watched it a few years ago to see if they were faking it but they weren't. It really was a little hovercraft-like thing.

One of my favorite episodes was season six's was The Visitors. Why? Because Jim and Casey had to hide in the car trunk, not Barney, that's why!

I think I have to go with Jetfire on that one. I think there were mirrors there that hid him and then the dog came sniffing around. That's actually the one I thought of first. Other than that, I'm really having trouble remembering anything specific. There was the usual stuff where he's in a crate or like the last episode I watched he was hiding underneath cleaning supplies that Willy was wheeling around.

I just realized that I mentioned The Visitors before. With Mission Impossible, there are some fans that notice certain things that maybe others don't. My two favorite running accounts are 1)How many times Barney has to hide in a box, etc.; and 2) How many appearances Sid Haig made.
BTW, could you please look at my thread Mr. Secretary, Two Of Our IMF Agents Are Missing and give us your thoughts about it?

Oh sorry about that. Every time I'm about to read that thread I get sidetracked

That's okay, there's no need to rush.
