Series Description:

The A-Team TV show was an action series about four Vietnam veterans who were ordered to rob the Bank of Hanoi. Their orders went unacknowledged by their superiors and they were sent to military prison. After escaping, they hired themselves out as soldiers of fortune for any good people being oppressed or wronged by someone. Against impossible odds, the A-Team always managed to "right the wrongs" while managing to stay just one step ahead of the law.

The A-Team Cast Members:

George Peppard .......... Colonel John "Hannibal" Smith
Dirk Benedict ........... Lieutenant Templeton "Face" Peck
Mr. T ................... Sergeant Bosco "B.A." Baracus
Lance LeGault ........... Colonel Roderick Decker
Robert Vaughn ........... General Hunt Stockwell
Dwight Schultz .......... Captain H.M. "Howling Mad" Murdock
William Lucking ......... Colonel Lynch
Eddie Velez ............. Frankie "Dishpan" Santana

The A-Team Trivia:

George Peppard probably felt fairly comfortable when cast in his role as the tough guy "Hannibal" as he had served in the Marine Corps.

The very first episode of the A-Team TV show aired immediately following the 1983 Super Bowl game.

Many of us may be much more familiar with Dwight Schultz in his role as "Reg Barclay" on Star Trek The Next Generation and Voyager.

On March 31, 1985, during the very first "WrestleMania", Mr. T and his tag team partner Hulk Hogan defeated Paul Orndorff and Roddy Piper.

During the opening credits of most episodes, you can see a "Cylon Warrior" pass by Dirk Benedict. Cylons were his enemies as "Starbuck" in the cast of the 1978-1979 series "Battlestar Galactica".

General Hunt Stockwell (Robert Vaughn) came to the series in the 5th season episodes. He kept promising that he would help the A-Team clear themselves with the law if they would just do a few more little jobs for the government. He never fullfilled his promise. Maybe you remember Robert Vaughn in his best-known role as Napoleon Solo in "The Man From U.N.C.L.E.

The "B.A." in B.A. Baracus (Mr. T's character) stood for "Bad Attitude" and it sure fit the role!

Opening Narrative:

"Ten years ago, in 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they did not 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 fortunes. If you had a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire ... The A-Team!"
