@@sandralee3091 The best moments I used to watch this every afternoon. Way back before the full time cell phone and internet addiction. Those were the days the simple times.
@@CharlesChristinaWH The best moments just watching the show every afternoon. I discovered this show way back in the early 90's. I was just flipping through the channels and there it was. The simple basic times.
The A-Team single handedly blew away ABC's Tuesday night sitcom dominance on Tuesday nights and catapulted NBC with an instant hit in the 80s. Mr. T was a walking superhero. A fantastic show!
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.

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 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!😂
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
❤❤❤😂😅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
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
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🤗🤗🤗
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.
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.
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!!
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
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.
@@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..
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.
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.

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
Same here
And right after the A team went off, Remington Steele would come on.
@@terrybradford418 yup
Me too
Hearing the Stephen J. Cannell logo music gives me the creeps
I love it when my childhood comes together. The A Team was one my favorite shows as a kid. I used to watch it every afternoon when I come home. The best moments I used to rush all the way home. Those were the days and simple times.
The 80s is loaded with great series and themes it's incredible.
Same here! They showed it in Sweden, and I have loved this show ever since I was a kid.
@@sandralee3091 The best moments I used to watch this every afternoon. Way back before the full time cell phone and internet addiction. Those were the days the simple times.
Yup I even had all the action figures and the van and car as a kid my aunt has a photo of me with Mr t in my hand when I was 4

I pity the fool who has never heard of or seen episodes of this remarkable, iconic, TV series.
Don't know where to watch it
that phrase i pity the fool was never actually used in the series
I love Dirk Benedict doing the double take at the Cylon.
He was thinking " Am I on the wrong set?"
_Still_ makes me smile, each time I see it. 🙂
So cool 😎
I wonder if they snuck that in on him!
@@suzakule o
You will not see shows made as good as this these days.
Heck yeah the 80s were the days the kids today don't know what the A team was I watched every episode of the A team
@@tammymorris5475 Allow me to introduce myself
Agree. 👍😂😂😂😂
It feels like now it's quantity over quality.
Damn right brother. It’s all FILTH now. Or extreme putrid violence.
I love it when a plan comes together.
Nice
So do I
@@Ernaldinho1993 Still a fan of the A team having the complete 5 season DVD collector set
Classic
He's on the Jazz Man. He's on the Jazz.
The A-Team, The Fall Guy, Knight Rider, Airwolf, all fit into a similar spot in my memory.
Omg, how could I forget about the FALL GUY??!!
Mac gyver
@Fr1endlyf1re
you forgot Stingray, Rip Tide,Hardcastle and McCormick as well all with a fancy car or boats and Helicopters as well
@@A722R dont forget Automan
@@brendonwilliam9813And Magnum P.I. and Miami Vice.
Honestly Mike Post did so FRIGGIN' MANY awesome theme songs, it's unreal.

I remember, back then, Mr. T was the considered the baddest man around! 😆😆😆
I pity the fool who didn't watch the A-Team back then
The precursor to must see tv!
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.
Good memories, bring back the 80s .
These guys made my childhood..legends..happy times..thankyou
Sat and watched this with my dad in the day. Perfect Saturday night TV.
The A Team
First broadcast: January 23, 1983
Last broadcast: March, 8, 1987
Owning all the episodes on DVD... PRICELESS!!
Yes it is
There's a shortage of vintage Jeeps because of the A-Team.
Whoever came up with this series was a bloody genius.
And whoever cast the show was a bloody genius too! Stephen Cannell aswell??
Frank Lupo,who was also a co-creator of Hunter.

Yes he's at end on his actual typewriter smoking a pipe
Damn us 80s kids had the BEST shows.

Best action theme song brings back memories
THE NO.1TV TUNE OF THE 80'S.
Opening scene with the Huey coming in and unloading the troops is the best.
Gives me the chills everytime!!!
The Stephen J. Cannell logo music gives me the creeps every time
Great stuff one of the best opening in the 80's
The Stephen J. Cannell logo music is pretty scary
J adores j'ai grandi avec tout les week-ends je ne manqué aucun épisode trop de bon de jeunesse merci 🎉😂❤😅
I miss this show had to watch it every week 😪
RIP George Peppard and Stephen J. Cannell.

I ain't gettin' on no plane fool!
Mr. T as BA.
I loved how they had to knock him out to get him on a plane!

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!!!"
So camp yet so full of action.
Dirk Benedict (Templeton Peck) played Gil Foley in the short lived ABC-TV show Chopper One in 1974.
My dad used to crank the TV volume all the way up for the machine gun sounds during the title screen part 😎
IMHO, the greatest TV series ever during the 80's (I watched EVERY episode and even the Robert Vaughn final season.)
Mr t and Murdock made that show funny love the a team
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

Greatest tv show in the history of the world
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.
i will always miss George Peppard ;w;
He was the best.
Thanks for being my childhood companions. It's 2024 we could with the A Team
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
I think Face was the first time pre-adolescent me thought boys might be interesting rather than annoying.
So I'm not the only adolescent that swooned every time he came on screen!
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🤗🤗🤗
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
The Greatest Show ever made I pity a fool who doesn't like The A-Team.
I always liked the pointing at the Cylon in the intro!
I liked the one where they got trapped inside a shed and came out with a cabbage firing machine that they had made.
Greatest show of all time!
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.
How I miss my childhood...
I love it when a plan comes together 2021? 2022? Rest in peace Hannibal Smith
Nostalgia to the Max! I miss the 80's
This is when driving around in a van whith no windows was cool.
Still is imo

Awesome show!! I miss all these great shows!
At last i found this song again good to be back
Love the sound track
Loved the a team my favourite action show of all time to many reality TV shows today no thought in their work
How did I not see this before? At 1:10 Dirk Benedict does a double take at the Battlestar Galactica cylon walking by.
They burned up more ammo than any show in TV history and never hit anybody.
The best closing credits in TV history
A great theme song made the show just better then it's the writing and then the actors
Good old days
The 80s were not a good decade for me! This was one of the only pieces of excitement during those days!
The a team 1983 1987 opening and closing theme
best tv show ever
Rest in peace, Hannibal Smith
I miss The A-Team.
One of my favorite shows, love it
Mike Post kicks out the jams.
Best version ever👍

My type of people. I often wonder why soldiers are put into Leavenworth. I believe many are set up y the crooks are running the government.
