The A-team series had me glued to the screen from an early age. B.A. baracus, "Howling" Mad Murdock, Face man and John "Hannibal" Smith were the main characters who made up the unlawful, ex-military, crime fighting A-team gang who traveled the globe, helping out victims of violence. There was one catch however... they didn't work for free!
Each episode involved a completely fresh case, with a new set of badguys upsetting a completely new neighbourhood in a completely new location. This created an un-repetative feel to the series, and helped captivate more viewers world-wide. During their attempts at catching these ever-changing baddys, "Hannibal" would think up some fantasticly clever plan (which would never work in reality) to catch the criminals. It always involved the making of some contraption - be it an armoured car or physical trap - in which B.A. (the muscle) would construct. Due to the constant change in location, the team would usually need to catch a flight. For B.A. this was a nightmare, and something he tried to avoid. As a comedy element to the series, B.A. would have to be drugged, flown to where he needed to be and then convinced he fell asleep on the boat in their travels. Despite this fear, the A-team were never scared when fighting the bad-guys, and the series was full of some great action-packed hand-to-hand and gun fights. Face, the ladies man was usually the last to join the fight, he instead chose to play the 'spy' and fool bad-guys into either giving him information or letting him pass - this would often have a comedy feel to it as well. Murdock however was both sane and insane, he spent half his time in a mental home and half his time breaking out. Murdock and B.A. hate each others guts in the series, and their relationship is often comical.
Produced in 1986, the production quality is not top-notch. However, it really doesn't matter as all stunts are performed without specail-effects and this makes the series feel in many ways more realistic. Camera-angles and shots are simple but effective and work with the style of the A-team.
Summary: A good 1980s series enjoyed by all ages.

The A-Team is a TV series from America, which ran for five seasons, from 1983-87.

The premise of the show was that they were hired by people in trouble who required assistance, normally protection from gangster, or local hoods.

At the end of the fourth season and then in the fifth season, they were captured by the military and then promised freedom and a pardon by a General Stockwell (Robert Vaughn) in exchange for completing suicide missions. At this point ratings fell and the show was cancelled.

DVD Description
Six episodes of the all-action mayhem and adventure of TV's THE A TEAM. Set in 1972, George Peppard plays "Hannibal", the Colonel of a commando unit made up of escapee US military prisoners. They were jailed for a crime they didn't commit, but constantly on the run and unable to prove their innocence, they hire themselves out as soldiers of fortune. If you've got a problem maybe you can call on Hannibal's idiosyncratic group--the original "bling bling" brawn of Mr T as B.A. Baracus, the dashing Dirk Benedict as "Faceman" and Dwight Schultz as the extremely eccentric "howlin Mad" Murdoch.
