No, I haven't forgotten my favorite tv show.......
I just haven't had time to watch any more episodes of the Season 1 DVD. So, here's a link to another A-Team fan site.

I added a few links to various websites to the blog today. You'll find Stephen J. Cannell's website over there and Dirk Benedict's as well, along with a really good fan site.
I just watched this episode from my season 1 dvds and it is another great one. Who could ever forget Murdock's "Trashbags! I want some trashbags!" chants and the engineering marvel that grew out of them - hair dryers inflating the trashbags in some kind of hot air balloon escape vehicle and sending Hannibal and Murdock over the wall to freedom. This episode also included a performance by Meeno Peluce, whom I remember best as Jeffrey on the show Voyagers. Also, once again we see Face and Amy working a scam together. While I can't make up my mind who my favorite member of the team is, Amy holds a special place in my heart because she just walked right into their lives and held her own in all these jobs they had taken. Forget Lois Lane, all she ever did was get into trouble and yelled for Superman to save her. Amy can save herself. She's the reporter that all little girls should look up to.
A-Team: The Motion Picture (with some strange Star Wars references). I have to warn you though, some ewoks were killed in the making of this cartoon. I thought the ewoks were the cute furry little animal things? You can tell I don't watch much Star Wars. Oh, and Bo and Luke Duke from the Dukes of Hazzard make an appearance.
I just watched this episode and I have to say it is one of my favorites. This is the first one hour episode of the series - the episode that aired right after the two hour series premiere and the first episode with Dirk Benedict as Face. It's one of my favorites because Face, Hannibal and BA had a very touching moment with Amy when they were all captured and they were trying to help Amy get past the idea that they might be killed by the bad guys. When BA looked her in the eyes and told her he wasn't going to let anything happen to her, that was just the sweetest thing. I would write more, but it's about to storm here and the electricity will probably go out.
This is the first episode ever of the A-Team. It was a two hour series premiere that was aired after the Superbowl one year. The A-Team's success after the Superbowl launch was what convinced the networks that the Superbowl actually had a lot of power over the tv shows that aired around it. That's why Alias was aired after the Superbowl the last couple of years. ABC wanted to draw new viewers and up the ratings.
I got the Season 1 Dvds!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait to watch them! In fact I might do that tonight. I hope there are extras on these. The package doesn't say.
Well, I know that my A-Team Season 1 dvd box set has been shipped but I don't know when I'll get it. Amazon is strange like that. I ordered a book and got it the day it was to be released, but the dvds aren't here and they were released today. I hope I get them before Friday, Friday being no mail day thanks to President Reagan's Funeral.
Check out the A-Team Quizzes. I did rather well considering I haven't seen the episodes in years. I did better than average on all of them.
Although I have to wonder if this is me. I didn't think my answers matched Hannibal.
The first website I'm spotlighting today is the official website of Stephen J. Cannell, the creator of The A-Team. I believe he wrote some of the episodes and also created several other big TV hits, like: Wiseguy, Hunter, 21 Jump Street, The Greatest American Hero, The Rockford Files and many others. Cannell suffered from dyslexia early in life and has used his success to bring awareness to the problems many others who have this condition face daily. And in 1995, Cannell's first novel, The Plan, was published which was quickly followed by several others.
Welcome to my tribute to my most favorite tv show of all time, The A-Team! Hopefully I will be posting my own personal reflections of the show, my favorite parts, my least favorite parts, etc. But what I really want to do is showcase some of the fanbased websites out there that are truly works of art. To see how involved these websites are is to really understand how well loved this show is and how much of an impact the show had on millions of people worldwide. So, come back often and maybe you'll get a mysterious summons to Mr. Lee's Chinese Laundry.
