THE A-TEAM SEASON 3
The third season that brought Mr. T, Dwight Schultz,
and George Peppard to the forefront of stardom, and
brought back an icon, Dirk Benedict(of Battlestar Galactica
fame)!!
Sadly, these are on double sided discs!! Which means that
you have to be incredibly careful when loading them into
the DVD player as to not scratch the second side!!! A horrible
way to distribute DVDs!!! BOOOOOO!!!
And like the first two seasons, 258,000 rounds of bullets fired,
not one person hit!!!!! LOL!!!!
Again many guest stars in this series, as this was, kind of like
Batman in the 60's, THE show to get your face on!!

Review from IMDb.com:
From another reviewer at IMDb.com:
"A-team"is one of the best tv-series ever. Four
veterans of Vietnam war are wrongfully accused
and now they are outlaws.Peppard is very good
in his role.He plays Hannibal,the leader of the four.
I think is the best role of Peppard!But Mr.T as B.A
is also outstanding."A_team"is not only adventure
and crime.It has also comedy and sometimes romance.
If you like "MacGyver" you are going to love "A-Team".
Also if you are fun of Robert Vaughn you must see
"A-Team" because Vaughn plays general Stockwell.
A mysterious person who is a friend and an enemy
of the four veterans. - Andy S, (anstamatopoulos@yahoo.gr)
