Loved The A Team as kid.

When did you first see it? Jeez, early 80's, maybe 84. I was fairly young, but I remember having the toys around 84-85 so would have been before that.

Characters you liked/disliked? been 4-5 when I first started watching it, B.A was my favourite as I loved Mr T at the time. Can't say I disliked any of the main characters.

Storylines you liked/disliked? I need to buy the series so I can watch them, as I've only seen the odd episode since the original run.

Did any of the cast go on to do anything else of note? T had a great run during the shows run, but none of them went onto great heights after.

Did you see the movie that came out? What did you think? Went opening day and a week later and I loved it. Really thought it captured what The A Team was all about and the casting was perfect. Would love a sequel, but I think it was a bit of a box office flop.

Any other thoughts on The A Team? Like a few other shows, The A Team takes me back to my childhood and whilst campy at times, was a hoot of a show.

When did you first see it?
When I was a kid. I would have seen most of the episodes that were shown in Oz.

Characters you liked/disliked?
As a kid, B.A was my fav, but I liked them all.
As an adult, Hanibal is my fav.

Storylines you liked/disliked?
I can't remember a specific ep, but I can't remember being dissapointed at any stage.

Did any of the cast go on to do anything else of note?
Well, we all know Mr T went on to headline Mania 1.
I don't think the rest did much else after the show.

Did you see the movie that came out? What did you think?
Yep, and I enjoyed it. I thought they told the story well, and did a good job making it all make sense.

Any other thoughts on The A Team?
Top show, and we need more new TV shows like this. Fuck all this reality TV shit.

When did you first see it? when it first came on TV

Characters you liked/disliked? Pretty disliked all of them. The crazy one was ok

Storylines you liked/disliked? It was so B grade and campy, Id watch the Brady Bunch before the A team. The Brady Bunch was better written sharper and far more entertaining as well as memorable. Seriously I dont remember one storyline
Nobody got shot and the impossible was always possible.
Its like the Charlies Angels movies, just to hard to believe


Did any of the cast go on to do anything else of note? MrT and thats cos he was already somebody before then

Did you see the movie that came out? What did you think?
Watched about 30 minutes of it then went to my bedroom to stab myself in the head with a spoon

Any other thoughts on The A Team? It was what was wrong with 80s TV. My brother loved it

The Rockford Files...yeah that was cool

When did you first see it: summer school hoildays in 84 or 85 i remember first seeing the ads for it and it looked like a show that i would like and yes i was hooked and still love the show.

Characters you liked/disliked: all the chracters were fun and for a bunch of action movie sterotypes but it was well acted for the most part and Robert Vaughn was fun as the army guy who allways jsut missed them but would not give up.

Storylines you liked/disliked: the episode with Boy George was fun and also any that had wrestlers scored big with me, The show featured professional wrestlers such as Hulk Hogan, Professor Toru Tanaka, Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat, The Dynamite Kid, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, Davey Boy Smith, Big John Studd and Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, in most cases playing themselves. In the episode "Body Slam", which featured Hogan, wrestling interviewer and announcer "Mean" Gene Okerlund also appeared.



Did any of the cast go on to do anything else of note? Most of them at the time did but now day are for the most part pop cultue icons of the 80's but of course George Peppard already had a very long and well respected movie run (Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) and B sc-fi classic Battle Beyond the Stars (1980) some of the hilights) and one of my celeb crush Tia Carrere had a guest appearance on The A-Team, which was supposed to lead to her joining the cast. Unfortunately, her General Hospital obligations prevented her from joining the team.


Did you see the movie that came out? What did you think: Yes have it on BLU-RAY it was a fun action movie but pretty much missed the point of the org series.

Any other thoughts on The A Team: a retro classic that if you were a boy growing up in the 80's it was part of your childhood and how you not love a show that had guest star like Wendy Fulton,Boy George,Isaac Hayes,Rick James,David McCallun,Joe Namath,William Perry,Pat Sajak,Vanna White,Yaphet Kotto and for a a group that was on the run they did there best to stand out MR. T i am sure would stand out in a crowd and drove around a van that had one gear and that was overdrive.
