History of the A-Team | Original TV Series | Galoob Toys | 2010 Film

Great video. And I know I discussed this with you already, but I would add the hapless colonels tasked with arresting the A-Team every week. First was Colonel Lynch, then the far more famous Colonel Decker, played by veteran character action man Lance LeGault; these men were the ones who couldn't get out of their own ways, and even when they got the drop, somehow they snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. They were often there to clean up the messes of the real bad guys at the end of the episode

My father was taken by ambulance to the E. R. one night in 2001.i spent the night there with him. While he waited for tests, I turned on YTV in his little curtained cubicle. I found the A-Team, which improved my night a bit. Someone walked by, then backed up. "That's Mr T! What channel is that!" They were showing back-to-back episodes, and by the time my father was admitted, almost three quarters of the waiting patients were watching. And when I went to lock omy father's house, I found a note on the kitchen counter stating that he was being taken to the hospital. It was signed "Engine 51"

Hey Ken, You gave me a knuckle sandwich full of nostalgia and memories. I have great memories of this show growing up here in Australia. For me, it was on Channel TEN at 7:30 on Monday night. The problem was my mum enjoyed another show called a country practice (Australian drama) so I had to go to my room and watch the show on my little woodgrain black-and-white television and once in awhile when a country practice wasn’t on, I’ve got to watch it in the lounge room. Don’t get me wrong seeing it in black-and-white and on a little crappy TV didn’t take away the awesomeness of the show. I can still remember playing in the schoolyard the A team and I always wanted to be Murdoch as I’ve always had a thing for flying. As you would know a first passion is GIJoe and so I got to small-scale A team figures and I absolutely love them even more so then larger versions. I ended up getting the armoured car and I red helicopter which later on I painted khaki green for my joes but I won’t get into that. In my local video library they had the pilot on tape for rent, and I would have rent it dozen of times. Skip to 93 I was out of hospital and I stumbled on it again during the day at 1pm but this was the fifth season are never seen before, and boy did. I enjoy watching it. Skip to 2000 when on Amazon the show was coming out on DVD and I preordered each season and I’m glad I did watching them again was awesome. Then, when they announced, they were doing a movie me and my friend went out and saw it and boy did I enjoy it and I couldn’t wait for the sequel sad there’s none coming but I think in time we see it coming back perhaps not in the movie maybe what they’ve done with quantum leap, perhaps hmm Like I said, this show is awesome and have some great memories watching it and mixing toys up with my joes. I never did get the van and it is something I would love to get and I’m thinking I might go out and try and find one. I’m going to blame you for it it ken as my wallet really hates me at times. To answer your question you got me thinking which not a bad thing My gut feeling tells me that Mr T never said that line, but I can’t be certain I’m not going to bet my left kidney on it instead I like to say no, you didn’t say it but I don’t need another knuckle sandwich. Again, thanks for doing a great video And remember Stay safe, stay beautiful P.s do you remember in the joe cartoon the grey team?

Loved this video!!!! So many great memories watching this show with my brothers! Great Job Ken!

oh man... I remember getting those Galoob 3' 3/4 figs... i was so disappointed on the costumes... and they eventually disintegrated.. I had no idea they made bigger figures.

Great video sir. I loved the A-Team when I was a kid. Everyone in my family always gathered around the tv when it came on. I even remember seeing the Galoob toys in the regency mall in Augusta and my mom getting them for me. Thanks mom. Still have them too. Have a great day.

Awesome! Face was my fave.

The A-Team was one of my fave shows in the 1980s. You did forget that they tended to improvise vehicles and weapons as necessary, roughly one year or so before MacGyver. My fave members are: Colonel John Hannibal Smith, B. A. Baracus and Amy Allen, who was way easier on the eyes than Tawnia Baker. Another fave was Gen. Hunt Stockwell, played by Robert Vaughn.

I had the four figures and van from Galoob as a kid, and while not as detailed or sturdy as my Joe vehicles, I LOVED that van!

Definitely was part of our “Must See TV” as kids. 😎

Great video Ken. I remember those 6 inch figures but I don't think I ever owned them growing up.

Awesome Video! Face was my favourite from The A Team. Santa brought me a great playset in '85 which had the guys in it and the baddies figures too and like a base you could build for them. Very cool show!!! And the movie is great fun too!!

Murdock was my favorite as a kid!

Love it

My 13 and 17 years old watch This amazimg TV series now Im With 53 and i AM watch again This amazimg TV series

Loved the video 👍

Great video. I wanted the Amy figure so bad as a kid and never got her and as an adult collector haven't found one in a condition I find acceptable for my price range.

He never said "I pity the fool" on The A-Team...that I remember anyway😄

Toy company should have made Decker, Lynch, Fullbright, and Captain Crane figures.

Face was is and will always be the man.
