The A Team

From Encyc

The A Team was a TV show in the 1980s who were good guys that were on the run from the law (as was a common theme amongst shows of that era). They were framed for crimes that they did not commit and went around helping people - and were paid handsomely for it. The A Team was criticised for using extreme violence and for "shooting first, asking questions later". Probably the most popular character in the A Team was B A Baracus, who was played by former WWF wrestler Mr. T, and this was the show that really made Mr. T an international star.

The A Team featured many explosions and car crashes, making it one of the most action-packed television shows of all time. Highly skilled stuntmen were employed, and often their antics alone made the show worth watching.
