Release date: January 23rd 1983 - March 8th 1987 (Five seasons. Ninety eight episodes).
Story: In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escape 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 help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The A Team!
My thoughts: Arguably one of the best shows to ever come out of the 1980's. The characters are enjoyable, the theme song is highly recognisable, and there is a good blend of good action and comedy. Most of the shows are basically someone is trying to live their lives, yet they keep being menaced and threatened by local jerks, and the A Team gets hired to help them out. The team consists of John 'Hannibal' Smith (the teams leader who has a hunger for danger and life threatening situations. And has the catchphrase "I love it when a plan comes together"), Templeton "Faceman" Peck (a suave ladies man who is also a con artist and scrounger), H.M. "Howling Mad" Murdock (a helicopter pilot who is either mentally unstable or is just pretending to be), and Bosco Albert "B.A" Baracus (the team's mechanic and mussels. Played greatly by Mr T). Other characters include Amy Allen (a intrepid reporter who sometimes joins the team on cases) and Colonel Lynch (who keeps trying to recapture the team). Like I said this is a great show and I would recommend that you check out a few episodes.
My score: Five stars.
