ALIAS SMITH AND JONES SEASON 2
After the success of Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid
the producers of this show decided that this couldn't be
anything but a hit!! They were right! Unfortunately, after
Pete Duel killed himself and they producers replaced him with
Roger Davis, the popularity waned considerably and the show
was cancelled! Fortunately for the fans of the show, they
were able to produce 50 episodes!

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)
