Lynn you beat me to it! They will just have to hire someone new to fill the B.A. position.
Grant, I did think about you and Murdock but I was just too nice (or scared!) to say it...
I was fifty fifty on Steve and Brad, Apparently Brad was a hit with the young ladies when being taken on a tour around London with the Allens! Hence I went the way I did... But yeah lets face it (pun intended) with that smile (in the pictures) Steve is Face!

I watched the TV series when it first aired. I enjoyed it, especially Murdock.

Could this be where they got the idea for "MacGyver "?

True, true, Gail was well behaved.

I suppose it is possible since The A-Team aired in 1983 while MacGuyver didn't premier until 1985, but somehow I doubt it.

Yup, my job growing up was to record each episode, hitting pause during the commercials so we could watch them as a family. We still have boxes of VHS tapes with the A-Team on them. You could grab any one, stick it in and watch whatever episode was queued up. I've been going through them on Netflix with my kids and love the memories.

Ahhh, A-Team. The epitome of Imperial Stormstrooper Shooting Training. At least for the bad guys. The 'elite team' they were could be said to have always missed on purpose, I suppose. That and bolts from an air-compressor as a machine gun are notoriously inaccurate, but WILL keep your head down, I guess.

All in all, always fun.
