MI creator Bruce Geller begged Kallis not to leave, but his mind was firm on it.
by ringfire211 » Mon Feb 20, 2017 1:57 pmYes, Stanley Kallis presided over the 3rd season of FIVE-O as supervising producer (with Robert Stambler as the producer) and really helped to shape the show into the classic that we know and love. Many feel that season 3 was when the show really came into its own and was firing on all cylinders! It's interesting that he also presided over season 3 of MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE which is also considered to be the peak of that show's creativity (as the Nielsen ratings showed as well).
by Jeff*H » Mon Feb 20, 2017 8:10 pmSeason 3 was my favorite as well, and Kallis deserves a lot of credit for it, between the scripts and the directing and the guest casting and the scores, it was indeed firing on all cylinders!
