recipe for a perfect TV show to you--you must already be a fan ofThe A-Team. Each of these Vietnam vets on the lam had his specialty: Hannibal (cigar-chomping George Peppard, a long way fromBreakfast at Tiffany's) is the cocksure master planner; Faceman (Dirk Benedict of the original Battlestar Galactica) is the smooth-talking con artist; the pilot with a screw loose is Murdock (Dwight Schultz, later to appear on Star Trek: Voyager); and B.A. Baracus (the charismatic and gold-encrusted Mr. T, Rocky III) is both mechanic and muscle. During the series' five year run, each of these eccentrics cultivated their own rabid fan-base as they threw punches, fired thousand of bullets, tossed hand grenades to and fro, and flipped speeding cars--all without killing or even really hurting anyone, which only adds to the show's willful silliness. (A warning for fans of reporter/sidekick Amy Allen, played by Melinda Culea: After being given nothing to do for a dozen or so testosterone-heavy episodes of the second season, Culea either quit or was fired.)Only during the 1980s could this peculiar blend of lefty politics and military fetishism have thrived. Though supposedly mercenaries-for-hire, the A-Team usually finds itself defending the downtrodden and helpless out of sheer cussedness. In the second season they helped abused migrant workers form a union--which, naturally, required transmogrifying farm equipment into a cabbage-shooting cannon. Other underdogs included the disenfranchised heir to an African diamond mine; an independent cab company being squeezed by big business; and a pacifist commune harassed by bigots. The last of these prompted Hannibal to muse ponderously on the unappreciated role of the soldier, who fights so others don't have to--after which Murdock and B.A. began punching each other over a bag of pecans. Self-aware and self-mocking,The A-Teampushed the TV action/adventure genre to laughable extremes. --Bret Fetzer

INTRO 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.

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).

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.
Advantages: Good show Disadvantages: Too much violence for very young viewers
The A-Team will remain, like Knight Rider and Airwolf, Street Hawk and Automan the sort of show that brings back fond memories of growing up. I remember watching the feature length movie and thinking wow! The story:- A crack commando unit breaks out of a military prison after being accused of a crime they didn't commit and who can blaim them all that hard labour! They survive on the Los Angelese underground - if you have a problem and no one else ... ...With the brains of Col Jon Hannibal Smith and the muscles of Mr T, the flying genious of howling Mad Murdock and the cunning scam artist faceman they try to write the wrongs in Americas society. They help the people who cannot stand up to bullies and thugs for a price of course! or maybe not. What I like about the show is the teams ability to get themselves out of trouble by making all sorts of gadgets/weapons from what they have available, this ...

A group of soldiers who were jailed for a crime they didn't commit escape, set up an organisation which helps out people in trouble. Constantly on the run from capture by the military, these guys are called in when all else has failed.

DVD Description
Television producer Stephen J. Cannell (HUNTER, WISEGUY, 21 JUMP STREET) scored one of the earliest of his many 1980s hits with THE A-TEAM. A group of Vietnam veterans falsely accused of a crime during the last days of the conflict, the A-Team was made up of cigar-chomping leader Hannibal (George Peppard), tough guy B.A. Baracus (Mr. T), suave con man Face (Dirk Benedict), and paranoid pilot Murdock (Dwight Schultz). The team survived through employment as soldiers of fortune, humiliating their foes, and standing up for the little guy.
