Am I the only one growing up where this show made you use your imagination and heard this theme song playing in the background in their head? I still sometimes hear it when I am trying to overcome or fix something. Glad I was part of this generation of great action shows.
Season 2 (1983-84) or later. For season 1 (early 1983), the opening title narration went: "Ten years ago, 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 help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... the A-Team."
"10 years ago a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escape from the 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."
I love how on the A -Team in fight scenes they would always show the guys flying through the air to tackle someone. Or their makeshift weapons they would make out of whatever. Or the fact that they had guns and machine guns and nobody ever got hit once. Great show. I like seasons 2,3,4 the best. Season 1 was a little different. The show was still trying to develop the characters. Season 5 they tinkered with the music intro and formula too much and it didn't work...except for the first episode where they get caught. Adding Frank Santana as a character didn't work either.
It seemed like every episode they would find themselves trapped in a garage or factory that was conveniently stocked with all the tools they would need to put together some outlandish weapon with which to defeat the bad guys. They would always assemble the weapon in a 2-3 minute musical montage, and it got sillier as the series progressed. In one episode they actually made a compressed air cannon that fired heads of cabbage.
I loved the episode where they busted the corrupt prison warden. "Hey, you ain't a mute no more!" "And you ain't a warden no more, either!" And the episode where they met Boy George. My dad, of course, couldn't stand Boy George. And there'd been a lot of talk on the TV shows of the time about how if Mr. T ever met George, he'd beat him up. So when B.A. Baracus shook George's hand and told him he was a big fan, I laughed like a hyena. My dad's look of disgust was the icing on the cake. Still smile and chuckle whenever I think of that TV moment. There'll never be another show like The A-Team. Never.
Good story!😁 I liked the one where they helped get a girl out of a forced marriage by having Murdock take her place, wearing her wedding dress. Prior to that, he ate a little shaving cream off the decoy cake they used to sneak in as caterers, so he was coughing the whole time he's walking into the wedding. Then of course, the team busted him out after he revealed himself to the bad guy groom. The sight of him hiking up the dress, racing down the sidewalk and screaming like a little girl, was unforgettable!😂
Don't mess with the ateam one of TV best shows ever to the actors and actresses who passed away my thoughts are with your family you may be gone but not forgotten still going strong I love it when a plan comes together one of the best and favorite punch lines ever god bless you guys thanks you guys rock way to go !! ❤❤😂😅 Joe
I would've loved it if there was a (2006) movie adaptation of The A-Team, with Harrison Ford as Hannibal, Tom Cruise as Face, Jim Carrey as Murdock, and Ice Cube as B.A. Baracus
I remember the broadcast of the bouncer competition that was MR Ts first appearance on TV. He yanked the bell right off the wall at the end as he dove through the finish line.
There should've been a (2006) movie adaptation of The A-Team. Harrison Ford as Hannibal, Paul Walker as Face, Seann William Scott as Murdock, and Mike Tyson as B.A. Baracus
❤❤❤😂😅brings back lots of great memories god bless you guys thanks you guys rock way to great job people you should be amazed and proud just classic don't mess with the ateam always a classic to watch on TV or my cell phone to the actors and actresses who passed away my thoughts are with your family you may be gone but not forgotten still going strong I love it when a plan comes together one of the best and favorite punch lines ever appreciate you guys thanks you guys rock way to go ❤😂😂😅 Joe
Stephen J Cannell "rip"brought us some of the best tv shows ever, why is it that's we always lose the good people?And there are still some good shows on today but most of today's writers and producers create nothing but garbage.
I remember how cool vans were in the '70s. People had airbrushed graphics on the outside and shag carpeting inside. Some even put waterbeds in them. If you had one nowadays, plenty of folks would think you were some kind of creepy stalker molester whether you were or not. I guess times have changed.
1:06 Dirk putting that hat on that look he gives and the lil wink. Sent me weak at the knees! still does He was gorgeous back then and still is even though hes in his 70s lol
The ateam will be a classic to watch really appreciate you guys thanks for the memories take care best wishes to everyone keep up the work way to go ! Joe
That second part of the theme music with the light guitar riffs, sounds a lot like "Me Against The World" from Lizzy Borden. Only on shows like The A-Team can the final conflict of the episode be fought with 2000+ rounds being fired and not a single person get shot and when they finally run out of bullets the A-Team uses their muscle and breaks out the 55 gallon drum of whoop-ass to subdue the bad guys! I love it when TH-cam helps a plan make a comeback for the good ol' shows even the goofy as ones like The A-Team, gosh I sometimes miss the 80's lol!!
Yes Yes Yes 1982- 83 this was a time when i was a kid and shows like this is what kelp me in the house glued to the tv especially shows like the A-Team, Dukes Of Hazzard, And Knight Rider lol🤗🤗🤗
The A Team - 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 priso into the Los Angeles underground. Today still wanted by the United States of America government they just survive as soldiers of fortune. If you just have a problem and if there is just no one else who just can help and if you just can find them maybe you can just hire the A-Team.
A-Team, Rockford Files, Hunter, Greatest American Hero, Hardcastle and McCormick, Riptide, 21 Jump Street, Booker, Renegade, Street Justice, Jake and the Fat Man, Silk Stalkings, Riptide etc. Stephen J. Cannell got it going on. I grew up loving his shows. RIP SJC.
@@vanessapierce231 You don't know what MTV is? Lol🤣🤣 is just were they played music videos! of artists as well sometimes you see some actors, be on the show as well dont know much about what else goes on, behind the scene..
@@vanessapierce231 Yes my job was inn the same building but it had nothing to do with MTV i was able to see alot of what artists came thru!! This is how i knew what was going on..
The dialogue at the start sums it up nicely. Basically, while serving in the Vietnam War, they were commanded to do something that wound up getting them in trouble. They went to prison even though technically they were innocent. So, rather than sit in military prison, they broke out and went underground in Los Angeles until they could find a way to clear their names. Meanwhile, they work as "soldiers of fortune" - taking on hard-luck cases where people are being harassed by bad guys and have nowhere else to turn. There are four guys in this team that worked together back in the war: "Hannibal" Smith is the leader, who also works part-time as an actor - so he's also a master-of-disguise; "B.A." Baracus is the tough guy mechanic who hates flying on planes (you'll see why in a second); "Face-man" Peck is the charming, handsome conman who secures what they need for their "missions"; and they have one guy on the outside: "Howling Mad" Murdock, the team's pilot, who - to stay in that strategic position - pretends to be nuts and stays in the local V.A. hospital. Whenever they have a mission, one of them (usually Face) has to "check him out" of the hospital on some wacky pretense. Then they go on their mission and wacky antics and lots of action ensues. For a while, they had a fifth person helping out as part of the team: a couple of women reporters, and then a friend of theirs who used to serve with them in 'Nam. If you ever get a chance, check it out!
In 1972, A Crack Commando Unit was sent to Prison by a Military Court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promply escaped from a Maximum Security Stockade to the Los Angeles Underground.

Real stunts done with real cars, helicopters and explosives. The A Team is one of the best action shows of all time.
Facts.
Not CGI ruinning the stuff.
Dodge Monaco like the one Hunter (Fred Dryer) drove which was forest green.
Hearing that opening monologue still gives me goosebumps

And right after the A team went off, Remington Steele would come on.

So camp yet so full of action.

The best part of the prison warden episode was, in my opinion....
"TR-ASH BAGS! I WANT TR-ASH BAGS! I WANT 'EM, I WANT 'EM!!!"
Great stuff one of the best opening in the 80's
The Stephen J. Cannell logo music is pretty scary
1:10 The Cyclops walking past was paying homage to Dirk who starred in Battlestar Galactica (hence the hand gesture as if he recalled something)
"Cylon"... and I loved it when they added that in the new opening credits.
Mr t and Murdock made that show funny love the a team
My dad used to crank the TV volume all the way up for the machine gun sounds during the title screen part 😎
I liked the one where they got trapped inside a shed and came out with a cabbage firing machine that they had made.
J adores j'ai grandi avec tout les week-ends je ne manqué aucun épisode trop de bon de jeunesse merci 🎉😂❤😅
