  • Too much focus on guests -- the ball is dropped

    "Good"
    By dougalderman, Aug 01, 2010 Report Abuse
    This episode was, sadly, fairly typical of 1980s guest star-centric action episodes. Rick James and Isaac Hayes dominate screen time and much story is lost.

    Hayes' character is locked in jail with, naturally, a corrupt warden and some bad-guy guards. The A-Team is hired by Rick James to uncover evidence that will free him.

    A prison rock 'n' roll show later, things are exposed and innocent men are freed. This short review captures the highlights of this installment of an otherwise-favorite show.moreless
