The A-Team.
I really enjoyed watching this show from the 80's. It was fantastic:An action-adventure show running from 1983-87.
It told the exploits of a wrongly convicted team of Special Forces soldiers, who escaped from prison and fought for the good guys.
There was so much to enjoy in it.Every time they'd get caught by the bad guys, they'd always figure a way out to escape,and as they were usually locked up in a garage with scrap metal, they would transform that into weapons. They'd always save the pretty damsels in distress too,although full treatment scenes for these pretty actresses weren't really done.At best,I can only recall a couple of minor scenes, which was a massive disappointment for me personally.
Later in the show, they added a new female character to join the team:Melinda Culea, who played journalist Amy.I liked her,and he character too.Amy fought for the good guys, and I think there were some moments where she was being held hostage, although sadly, Melinda never performed a full treatment,bound and gagged scene in the show.Actually,Melinda wanted to act like the blokes,going in guns blazing after kicking down doors,but it was not to be. The late George Peppard didn't want her character on the show, and he quietly dismissed Melinda. I think another couple of pretty actresses were also dismissed by George. Not sure if he wasn't happy with the writing, although he did compliment Melinda on doing a great job, and it wasn't her fault.
Very disappointed the entire franchise hardly offered anything, even though there was always a damsel-or multi-damsels-in distress that the team needed to save,and they always did.
Still a great show though, and I still love watching it to this day.
