The A-Team. A crackshot unit that could never hit the broadside of a barn with an automatic weapon. It was an action packed comedy hour with Murdock and the face man headed by the cigar smoking Colonel that loved it when a plan came together. While loaded with bullets flying everywhere and cars spinning through the air no one ever died, much less suffering an injury. 

The fan base for the show has changed over the years. Like those who loved the Dukes of Hazzard they would never admit they watched the show. Hey, I watched. It was never good TV but it was entertaining television for the first two or three years the show was around.  In all actuality the second season is generally considered the series best. 

I enjoyed seeing the Dirk Benedict recover from the dismal Battlestar Galactica series to join a successful series. It was a surprise to actually see George Peppard take on his role as Hannibal Smith with Hollywood attitude. But he was excellent in the character. 

PACKAGING 
The second season is dual layered and Universal when for the new thin case design, which I really enjoy. These were also used on the series Millennium and the new Pretender release. 

VIDEO: 
I detected a some dust and debris here and there but the 21 year old tape transferred extremely well to DVD. Looks like Universal did a nice job. Unlike some of the series being released today this set has the auto play which totally rules when watching a disc. 

AUDIO: 
The audio didn't get any digitizing at all really. It's just the mono sound track and it's like OK. You can pick up some crackling here and there but it sure doesn't rock the system in the least. 

BONUS FEATURES: 
There is no bonus material for the A-Team in the boxed set. But it does have a Knight Rider feature on it. 

SUMMARY: 

If your a closet fan or stand up fan this is a decent boxed set to become a fixture on your shelf. The A-Team has to be one of the most action packed adventures ever to hit television with lots of guns, bullets and flying vehicles. It's not a must have in my book, but it would be a pleasure to have series.
