Jamesfilmfan905 The A team is a so so action show from the brain child of Steven j cannellwho made other series Air-wolf,22 jump street , ice spiders . it is about 4 Vietnam war veterans as mercenary's for hire who go on the run for a crime they didn't commit . I recommend it if u enjoy action shows like this from the 80s but just don't expect anything new the action scenes are innovative at times but repetitive when they want to be e,g a stunt where a car flips over after having its tires blown off or a car or helicopter explodes and the people walk out unscathed . As for the performances are average Dwight Schultz steals the show as howling mad Murdoch . while the rest are OK just not special for me to recommend although Rip George was the definitive Hannibal smith and a true action star.

ikrani It is really hard to put into words just how much I love this show, but I'm going to try."In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum-security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... the A-Team." Cue greatest theme song ever written.These larger-than-life characters include Templeton "Face Man" Peck, a good-looking con artist whose job it is to scam the A-Team's equipment from any hapless passerby and question everything dangerous the team undertakes, John "Hannibal" Smith, the cigar-chomping disguise- wearing dated-insult-slinging leader of the group, and B. A. Baracus, who is essentially just Mr. T. I'm not kidding, Mr. T was the only cast member who never had to audition since the role was written specifically for him.There is a fourth member named Murdock who was the pilot that flew them to Hanoi for the infamous bank job. He has since gone banana balls and spends his days in the greatest mental hospital ever constructed. They let Murdock have his own private arcade and snack stash; THAT is good service. Face Man is usually the one sent in to break him out, and it's always fun to see what new con he'll pull to sneak Murdock out in plain sight, from a case of TB to a bout of rabies that Murdock contracted from his imaginary pet dog. Yes, that actually happened. And it was hysterical.The series centers around the A-Team doing jobs for people who can't prove who done it or otherwise can't count on the police for aid. In fact, more than once the A-Team are HIRED by the police to take care of dirty cops or corrupt officials. Other clients include logging companies, taxi companies, college students, Wild West show owners, all-female funk groups, and sometimes a pretty girl with a diamond mine to her name.And from that point on each episode begins building up to the big showdown, which is always crammed full of explosions, cars flipping over, guns that can't shoot straight, and poorly edited gun shot sounds. It's totally fake, but one does not watch this show for any amount of realism. One watches the A-Team because this is the romanticized action genre, the kind where the heroes always win, Face Man always gets the girl, cars blow up without injuring anyone, and the bad guys never stand a chance. It's cheesy, it's over-the-top, it's upbeat, and, above all, it's a ton of fun and I would happily rewatch it any time.I pity the fool who doesn't like The A-Team. Trademarked Mr. T 1997.

Pumpkin_Man I was introduced to The A-Team on Christmas, and ever since then, I've been hooked. I watched all five seasons to get ready for the upcoming movie. Hannibal, B.A., Face, and Murdock are ex Special Forces and were sent to prison for a crime they didn't commit. 10 years after they break out, they are hired by people who seek their help. Hannibal is the leader of the group. Face is the charm and cons people to get what he wants. B.A. is the muscle, and Murdock is the crazy out-of-control pilot who helps fly the plane. (Murdock is my absolute favorite character) If you have a problem. If no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire THE A-TEAM!!!

donovan74 THE A-TEAM The A-team TV series (1983-1987) was really rather special for me growing up in the 1980's, (God I was so spoilt for choice i.e Knight Rider, Dukes of Hazzard, Airwolf ) it gave me my first ever TV schedule regime. Saturday around 5pm to 6pm (think ?) I would drop anything I was doing (yes even my BMX) in order to get close to a big television set and enjoy it. From the likes of the late George Peppard as Hannibal Smith to Mr T as B.A Baracus, The A team worked extremely well and still over 20 years on is yet to be beaten for the sheer testosterone pulsating action on a late Saturday afternoon. Watching this A-team Season 2 Box-set (which is on 6 DVD's, a staggering 17hrs 38mins running time) was a nostalgic trip back to the past where Col Hannibal Smith (Gerorge Peppard) and his team mates (B.A,Face,Murdock) Soldiers of Fortune are highly skilled military vigilantes that are hired by victims of injustice but at the same time are being heavily pursued by Col Decker who only wants them back behind bars for the crime they did not commit. There's never a shortage of bullets flying left right and centre or clever strategic plans as The A-Team settle the score with the baddies. Look out for B.A's (stands for Bad Attitude,bet you didn't know that) black van which The A-Team travel in (awesome) also how they construct useful contraption's to use for their tactical operations. There's also for me a very strong side effect from watching all this A-Team Action, I have now started to whistle the tune day and night (hope I stop soon).THE CAST George Peppard --- Col John Hannibal Smith Mr T --- Sgt B.A Baracus Dwight Schultz --- Capt H.M Murdock Dirk Benedict Lt Templeten Face Lance LeGault --- Col DeckerCreated by Stephen J. Cannel and Frank Lupo.SUMMARY The A-team second season box-set is exceptional entertainment and a must for fans. Totally in your face action with good captivating performances from the actors and enthralling music that ties in perfectly. I bought The A-Team Second Season Boxset from Play.com (www.play.com) for £15.99 (£34.99 rrp) which is more than good value if you ask me. Past and present generations should not be without the A-Team. HIRE THEM NOW..P.S Just found out there making a new series/film 2006 yesssssss
