Guilty pleasures don't come more guilty than The A-Team, television's only tongue-in-cheek drama about the exploits of renegade Vietnam vets. The primetime series' 1983 debut season, gathered here on The A-Team: Season One, was intentionally ludicrous, encouraging viewers to enjoy sundry talents of a colorful cast and laugh off storylines perhaps sillier than those on Charlie's Angels. Co-created by Stephen J. Cannell (Wiseguy) and Frank Lupo (Hunter), The A-Team introduced Lt. Col. John "Hannibal" Smith (George Peppard), the cocksure leader of a band of fugitive American soldiers framed for a crime in Vietnam and now thriving in Los Angeles. Hiring themselves out as soldiers of fortune, Hannibal's crew--including Lt. Templeton "Face" Peck (baby-faced Tim Dunigan in the pilot, Dirk Benedict thereafter), Sgt. Bosco Albert "B.A. (for 'Bad Attitude')" Baracus (Mr. T, outfitted with his trademark gold), and, most comically, Capt. H.M. "Howling Mad" Murdock (Dwight Schultz)--assist (mostly) ordinary people having a problem with bad guys. The A-Team ostensibly charges large fees, but much of the time the guys seem to be doing pro bono work for the helpless.
Season One highlights include "Children of Jamestown," starring John Saxon as a Jim Jones-like religious cult leader who captures Hannibal, Face, B.A., and first-season sidekick Amy "Triple A" Allen (Melinda Culea). While the resourceful group invents a super-weapon out of farm equipment, crazy Murdock commandeers a helicopter and dynamite. Also good is "A Small and Deadly War," featuring Dean Stockwell as one of several uncontrolled L.A. cops committing murder-for-hire. "The Out-of-Towners" takes a page from the Death Wish movie series with a story about New York City shop owners harassed by a protection racketeer (Yaphet Kotto). Hannibal and company retaliate with machine guns (no one is ever seen killed in this series) and, more effectively, public humiliation of the villain. The best thing about The A-Team is the relationship between the four offbeat heroes, who may not always like each other (B.A. usually looks as if he'd like to leave Murdock in a shallow grave) but get the job done expertly. --Tom Keogh

When you're a kid you remember some shows fondly and some with distaste and when you grow up it changes this show is one of them. Let me say that while the actors aren't bad but when I started watching some of these episodes and seeing all the explosions and bullets flying I'm surprised that neither any of the A-team members or the people their fighting got seriously injured or hurt I mean they would just shake themselves off and just walk away. PLEASE! I know this show wasn't meant to be taking ... Read More

This was truly the best season of them all throughout THE A-TEAM's 5-year run on NBC and the season that made Mr. T a superstar and the season that made The A-TEAM a big hit in the 1980's. They were hotter, they were slicker, plus this was the only full season with Amy Allen, which made things even more interesting, it's just too bad that they only showed Col.Lynch in 2 episodes, which were the pilot episode and "One More Time", even though they used to mention Lynch's name a lot in the First Season. ...

i watched the a-team when i was around 5,when it reruned here in norway in the 90's, the quality of video is good to be a 80's show, audio is good to, dont expect HD quality, but it do look good on a 40" 1080p HDTV, the menu is a nice tuch, to bad it has little real bonuses, like comentary etc, the package the dvds are in, i do not like, they have put all of dvds in it and you have to take of a plastic cover, and roll it out both ways, but other than that the DVD build quality was better than Season Two's ...

Brings back great childhood memories. Fun seeing it through the lens of experience. Definitely need to suspend all critical faculties. If you do, Murdock is still as hilarious as ever--he wants to get out of asylum to "see E.T. just like everybody else." Hannibal is still "on the jazz," B.A. pities the fool, and Face's cheesy wise-guy comments seem clever.
Season one shows where it all begins, and why the A-Team is on the run. There's a different Face in the pilot--Dirk Benedict doesn't start ... Read More

I was 10 in the early 80's. At that time, Simon and Magnum were thursday night treats. People were actually shot in helping to take out villains and there was substance to those 2 shows. However, the A-Team was Cannell's defanged action show involving Nam vets who run from the government and anonymously help "clients." No one is ever shot despite tons of crashes and bullets. I was huge Hazzard fan and thought that show had more intellect and thought than the A-Team from a 10 year old mind at the time. Shows like ... Read More
