I was lucky enough to meet Mr. T when this show was in full swing at a meet and greet. He came out flexing his arms and smiling, telling the children in attendance to do good, to stay in school, to listen to their parents, all the things that kids need to hear from a role model. When he shook my hand, it was like the handshake of an old friend. He also impressed my mom, who drove me. In the car on the way back home she said that he seemed like a really good person, and my mom wasn't impressed by many people. And still isn't. Hope the man's still out there pitying fools!
Love the way that Hannibal takes a step back & let's B.A.'s momma think that he's in charge!! Love his humility!! Now, that's true friendship & leadership!!
@@Richard-xo2uv What did you 'expect' from a TV show, that was in effect, nothing more than a live action Saturday morning cartoon. That's what NBC-TV turned it into, when they put "The A-Team", into the infamous 06:00pm-08:00 FAMILY VIEWING HOUR time slot!
I always loved this scene because B.A. showed REAL courage there. He’s a big guy who’ll fight anyone, but here we see him really face his fears when someone he loves needs his help
@@EddieA907I’m a 5’11 Scottish wifey and had my kids young…..I’m 45 now and my grown up kids are still my babies! My son hates me clucking and fussing over him! Anyway, BA just needs to throw a Snickers to his momma and she’ll be fine! Works for me anyway!
Considering how tough she was as Tess, it figures that she'd be Mr. T's mama. She would be the kind of mom he'd have. Her and maybe Octavia Spenser from "The Help."
@@cristinaisabelruizestrada4160 Back in the day watching the A team plus knight Rider and Miami Vice on NBC were great the A team always more prime time devastation than the Chicago Bears 46 defense
I like how in every The A Team episode they always sit in the same exact seats within the van. B.A. is the driver at the wheel, Murdock sits (and quirks) behind B.A., Hannibal sits in front as navigator giving plans, and Face sits behind Hannibal talking slick with one liners. In a humorous way, its military structure and formation with a comic twist.
@@jasonjoyner6267 Seating Murdock behind B.A. absolutely was strategic, and thats what made it funny, no doubt about that. I like when every time Murdock says something off the wall, .B.A. always responds with that gruff answer "What ya talking about you crazy fool", etc. Hannibal always interjects with diplomatic answer and Face kinda does the same in his own way.
There is a real touching scene in this EP where B.A.'s mum talks to Hannibal, and says that she knows that her boy being a fugitive means that she rarely sees him, and wonders if he is doing okay. She says that she worried about him especially at Christmas, because he is away from family, and says that he once sent a Christmas card to her, of him with the rest of the A-Team, to show that he had "a family" to spend Christmas with.
Looking back on some TV from my childhood, I'm kind of finding some of it just not what I imagined and a bit boring, but the A-Team will always be fresh to me, it's a classic and I love it now at 53 as much as I did when I was a kid. I never get bored of watching these episodes over and over.
I like how at 5:41 Hannibal sees that BA is trying to think of a plan and says that BA thought of the idea of "taking over the lease" even though he was knocked out during the flight. That's great leadership. When you see your men in a situation they may have not been always familiar with, or put on or in the spot/ leadership position you help them out and don't just let them stumble through it.
I also liked how Hannibal let BA's mother believe BA came up with the plan because he didn't want BA to get embarrassed.IMO that's true leadership and real friendship.
Murdock: This is your captain speaking. We are soon to take off. I'll be turning off the no smoking sign until we reach an altitude of 30,000 ft. Until we do, I'll ask you to remain in your seat. Keep your seatbelt fastened in case we run into any unexpected turbulence. We're just waiting for our final clearance here. B.A.: MOMMA IS WAITING, FOOL! Murdock: And there it is!
I remember the gas prices in the early 1980s. 80 cents a gallon at chain stations. Aviation fuel was around a buck twenty a gallon according to google.
MURDOCK:"We're just waiting for our final clearance..." BA"Mama's waitin', FOOL!!" MURDOCK: Änd there is!" Love The way MUrdock's eyes go wide when BA yells.
well seems like he did overcome his fear he got on it without resistance who knows if he woulda made it thru without problems hannibal drug him no make certain it didnt
I thought Della Reece is a good T.V. actress, she played B.A. mum extremely well and great chemistry them both when she appeared on the A-team. She had of her own latter on called touched by an angel.
I loved watching the A-Team as a kid in the 80’s & Knight Rider, The Fall Guy, Magnum, Pl., Airwolf, MacGyver, Hunter, Tales of the Gold Monkey, Riptide, Hardcastle and McCormick, Spiderman show, the Incredible Hulk…
Greetz from Germany. When I was a kid, Mr. T was one of my childhood heroes. I remember having trouble with a bunch of bullies. School counselor said, build confidence and imagine someone to protect you. It was him and it worked.
Afew months ago they started showing the A-Team on local day time TV again. What a hoot! Loved this show as a teenager. The stunt work was crazy. The best TV was made in the 80s
'faceman i want you to scam us a plane better yet make that a jet' is the second best line in this segment apart from 'mommas waiting fool' and 'ba you got us on the jazz now'
We should see that fight scene from the same episode, where Murdock does some karate kicks, and B.A. picks up one of the thugs in a gorilla press body slam and finishes the job.
This has got to be one of the very best A- Team episodes ever 💯 Never got how BA being an ex special forces Vietnam vet that had no doubt been in and out of a hundred helicopters would have a phobia for flying but then again, maybe he crashed and developed the fear for flying as a result.
Wonder if Mr T is smiling at the end because his character B.A. is lovin' his Mama's cooking, or because Mr T is doing his best not to crack up laughing.

One of the rare times ba was able to overcome his fear of flying to help out his mom even though he was drugged like usual.
desperate times call for desperate measures
What episode is this one
I'm sure when he woke up he was grateful because he was about to have a nervous breakdown
This time, the drugging was out of love. :)

"He doesn't look like a crazy man." He established communication between Voyager and Starfleet Command. He isn't crazy, he is a genius.
Dammit Barkley!
I like to think that Reg is a descendent of Murdock
As long as he doesn’t smell bleach on the floor. 😂
B.A. has his fear of flying and Murdock has his fear of matter trasporters.
you know what, i was today year's old when i found that out, been bugging me for years where i knew barkley from
"Oh he loves it, when a plan comes together" This was such a great line, am still laughing

This show was essential for viewing in the 80s. Every cast member played their part to perfection.

Everything from thee 1980s was always perfection. TV shows, movies, music, you name it all
Sorry that was the 90's.
@@barche21 Sorry, the man"s right. It was the 80s.
Let us all take a moment to appreciate the time when TV shows were fun.
Agreed
Millions of bullets flying nobody gets hit.
The antigun people weren't happy about this show. By their standards it was way to violent. Columbo was usually okay.
These kids will never know how entertaining, innocent and fun television 📺 was back then.
Before the dark times, before 9/11
In my early twenties and have watched multiple shows plus movies from “back then” with my family. Best not to generalise.
When Hannibal runs the show but gives the creds to B.A. the "head of the A-Team"
I was so proud of BA semi conquering his fear of flying for his mama! I have this theme song as my alarm to give my dad his pills 4 times a day.
well seems like he did overcome his fear he got on it without resistance who knows if he woulda made it thru without problems hannibal drug him no make certain it didnt
I still don't get the fear of flying when he had to be jump qualified, which of of course means flying. Unless maybe something happened after Vietnam.

Some actual acting , self deprecating too, fantastic television. The eighties were brilliant.
Mother!
There is no other,
like mother,
so treat her right!
BA, proving all good sons, no matter how big and bad, will always be mommy's little boy, and will do anything for her.
It was the "mama's waiting fool!" for me. LMAO!
B.A. loves his momma so much, he was willing to fly on a plane to help her.
My childhood could not be the same without this guys!
I haven't seen THE A-TEAM in decades and I'm surprised how much it takes me back... even though I understand it in a different way now as an adult.

"The fuel is 1.85 a gallon, that's expensive" ... Oh, what a sweet, innocent time the mid 80s was.
Adjusted for inflammation from an estimated year of 1985 to 2022, it would currently be $5 a gallon.
