Show Summary

Edit Summary »

"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 else can... more »

    I loved it when a plan came together...... hide « show »

    This show had it all: Action, explosions, car chases and big wrecks, cool military weaponry, hot women, and the always classic tag line; "I love it when a plan comes together". The A-Team went to a place television hadnt been as four innocent commandos from a war America hated were on the run for a crime they didnt commit. Yet these guys would stick their necks out each week, taking on the mob, crooked cops, bad politicians, big business or whoever was foolish enough to get in their way. They were the ultimate heroes who managed to always save the day and yet never kill a single person. OK so it may be corny to expect that this type of violence would result in no casualties, but hey, they were the bigger than life heroes who always saved the day. Personally I have never found another show that captured the excitement and drama that the A-Team brought us each week. And I pity the fool that would disagree! :)

    Snuck out of kindergarden to meet Mr. T hide « show »

    This show will always have fond memories for me. The crazy contraptions that B.A. produced could almost be the blunt force power to MacGyver's finesse. Even now when I watch the DVD's my mind takes me back as soon as I hear that theme song and watch the red logo sprawl itself across the screen.

    When I was 6 I was so in love with this show I actually snuck out of Sr. Kindergarden and met Mr. T. That was one of the best things that ever happened to me in school!

    Regardless of how out of date this show can be at times and the lack of computers or the internet. All i can say about this show is, "I love it when a plan comes together!"

    The A-Team... A favorite from my teen years, and still awesome in re-runs!!! hide « show »

    Watching re-runs only reminds me of how much I loved this show... The explosions, the fighting, the last minute inventions.... Brillant!!! I'll always love its 1980's cheesiness...

    The wardrobe, the dialogue and the corny plots!

    What hard done by little guy(or attractive damsel in distress), wouldn't want four battle ready ex-commandos to come along and rescue them from an otherwise futile situation while harshly smiteing those who did them wrong!!

    Hannibal- the teams leader and mastermind. Always able to make his plan come together...

    Face- the teams con artist/go-for. Always able to out smart the bad guys and get the girl.

    B.A.- the gold clad teams muscle, Always able to kick supreme caboose and keep his buddies from harm.

    Murdock- .... yeah... Murdock... The most awesome wack job of a pilot!! One of the best written, best acted charactors of the era. Loved that guy! He was always able to confuse the bad guy and tick off B.A.

    Four commandos are on the run from the military for a crime they didn't commit. hide « show »

    An excellent and highly addictive show. You can really sympathize with our four heroes, who are always doing good even thought the US army is trying to capture them. The shwo does have some silly moments, particulary that even though each episode tends to feature a dramatic car chase and a gunfight consisting of a few thousnad rounds of ammo, people are very seldom killed or even injuired. The last season is also sub-par compared to its predacessors, simply because the producers were adding characters that really didn't fit in with the already excellent chemistry of the show. Worth checking out.

    One of the great shows of the 80's hide « show »

    To me the a team is a great show and even though they just shot AT the bad guys instead of shooting them.however they do blow alot of stuff up and i think the show has a great storyline. i think i have seen almost every episode of the a team but i'm sure ther is a few episodes that i have not yet (and probabily never will)view.it's too bad that they counldn't make a movie after the series was cancelled but George Peppard sadly passed away. I think that the a team is a very good show for people of all ages and i recommed that if you get the chance to watch it that you
    do.
