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 because they used DVD9 not DVD18, also Dual Layer (8GB) but not dual sided (2x8GB both sides)

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 until the second episode. The pilot features the introductory scenes used at the beginning of each episode.
It was funny reading some background on the actors on the Net. Apparently George Peppard (Hannibal) was jealous that Mr. T was most popular among viewers. Dwight Schultz (Murdock) has a blog on the Net--reading it, you wonder if the guy really is nuts.

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 the A-Team killed the best era of tv in the 70's and early 80's (Rockford, Starsky and Hutch, Magnum, Simon and Simon,etc) and subjected us to post PI and police creampuff hits like Cosby, Full House,etc. Here's an 80's analogy. Those 4 shows were to Judas Priest in metals prime, and A-Team was Poison who defanged and killed metal. If anyone prefers A-Team to those 4 shows, you probably preferred Winger to Judas Priest.

"The A-Team" is one of the greatest shows to come out of the 1980's. With its clever mix of great action, humor, and writing, the show was always great fun. Now, with season one of the show available on DVD, you can see the adventures from the very beginning. The two-hour premiere episode, "Mexican Slayride," is a great beginning, despite the fact that the guy playing Face is horrible in the role (Thank God this guy was replaced). Other standout episodes include "A Small and Deadly War," "Black Day at Bad Rock," and the season finale "A Nice Place to Visit," which partially serves as a tribute to the men who served in Vietnam.
While the picture is a bit grainy, it does little to detract from this great collection! If you're a fan of the show, or new to the series, then check out "The A-Team: Season One" on DVD. As Mr. T would say, you'll "have the jazz" when you do!
