@@CraigMcfly1985 One of my favorite shows back in the day. The best moments just watching the show every afternoon. Those where the days and simple times.
To me, this has always been the superior version of the A-Team theme. It's way more energetic and in some parts even somewhat darker and more serious, in line with the season 5 storyline, i.e. the Team finally captured and on trial for the murder of Colonel Morrison and then the international espionage plots of the following episodes. Kudos to Mike Post and Pete Carpenter! 👏👏👏👍👍👍
@@davidfos84 The original sounds like it takes influence from themes such as 'Bridge on the River Kwai', 'Where Eagles Dare, 'The Dirty Dozen', but mostly 'The Great Escape' with some 80s rock thrown in...
“Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as ‘soldiers of fortune.’ If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire...THE A-TEAM.”
In 1972 crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime the didn't commit..these me promptly escaped for a maximum security stockade into the Los Angeles underground....
Alma y vida a estos personajes que marcaron mi infancia de por vida, adoro estos 80, 1984 mi año de Nacimiento, Desde niño comenzaba a ver de estas series y the A- TEAM, marco toda mi infancia, y aun con 41 años los sigo viendo, mas alla de las series modernas las series retro son mucho mas mejores porque esas si son series. Amo ver the A-TEAM
The A-Team ran from January 1983 to March 1987…98 episodes. I wish it had run for six full seasons, from the Fall of 1982 to the Spring of 1988. 25 shows per season, 150 in total, and in the very last episode they are pardoned by the President (a Ronald Reagan lookalike) and are free to go back to “normal” lives.
In the final scene of the final episode, their Pardon is imminent. Still, they resolve to stay together and do the only job they're qualified to do. "Chasing thugs in the park?" "And outlaw motorcycle gangs. And organized crime figures. Why, there's a world of slimeballs out there." "I knew it. I just knew you had a plan." "Comforting, isn't it." "I'll go get the van."
Even though I prefer the intro with the narration and the iconic scenes of the jeeps being bombed and flying through the air, the helicopters, B.A. kicking open the door, Murdock under the wedding veil, Face pointing his finger and Hannibal in the swamp monster costume, I must say this intro is creative on showing clips on how the team got falsely accused and escaping and with explosions. And how it's instrumental and can be a remix of the original theme. Undeniably catchy!!!!
Me as a recovering alcoholic and drug addict love The A-Team never once did they use drugs alcohol or nothing on that show they always fought dead-set against it The A-Team put away more drug smugglers on that show than any I've seen in my life they always stood up for what was right and always had heart to help you no matter what it took no matter what.
Are you kidding? They roofied Mr. T every week. Then they gaslit him when he woke up. "We didn't put you on that plane, B.A. The bad guys did. We told them you wouldn't like it."
The A-team was one of my favorite shows as a little kid in the 1980's...They were the embodiment of what we all grew up believing America and American's were supposed to be all about...Standing up for the "little guy" and for "justice"...I just wish it were true...
@chrisbuchan2377 Same here, from UK. Maybe the good shows of the 80's influenced me in always standing up for those who cannot over just being some arse trying to make money without care.
From what I read, the ending of the show was actually "implied" by the t-shirts Murdoch is wearing in the last two episodes. The last episode, though they were originally run out of sequence, is the one where they save little girl who had the KGB documents, because Murdoch's shirt reads "FINI" at the end of the episode. The prior episode (in the order made) -- I think it was the one where Face is shot -- Murdoch's shirt reads "ALMOST FINI." I think they knew the show was going to be cancelled and not given a formal ending, which sucks.
I was born in the late 90’s and basically grew up on this show along with The Dukes of Hazzard, Knight Rider etc. Very tongue in cheek but worth the hour of Tv. Thank god for bravo tv channel, may it rest in peace! 🤣
Rumor has it with season 5 (as there were 13 episodes. minus the last 2 that were mixed up in order) There were another 12 episodes slated. I wonder if there are transcripts of what those 12 episodes were and what the original plan of the show was
@@luckychukiye8743 actually, they shouldve ended it with the ending of ep. 12 where they are wondering what they are going to do with the rest of their lives
@@Mr.Proper1 Yes but I still feel they should have gotten a pardon in the official show. The wondering part makes me feel as if there is a cliff hanger you know? I wish the ending was more definitive.
@@Mr.Proper1 This is just one path, but I think they could've gone into business officially as private investigators, security consultants etc...; something that enabled them to continue making the most of their skills.
Real skills talents and efforts are deeply appreciated thanks even on the ateam always a classic to watch on TV or my cell phone to the actors and actresses who passed away my thoughts are with your family you may be gone but not forgotten still going strong one of TV best shows ever to the lengarady ateam always a classic to watch really appreciate the memories stay safe and warm out there way to go !! Joe
Much as I love the original version of the theme, the high-energy synths, drum programming and such that reflected the times back then (oh yes, the mid-late 80's...When everything synthesized was all the rage) only did the one thing that made the theme not only more epic... ...THEY MADE IT EXTREME. 💥👍👊☠️🤟
Damn this is 80's right down to the slow mo of the bus crashing into camera frame while exploding and the theme flourishing at the end....so awesome! Dada da da dahhh da dahh dun!
This season was definitely darker and more about Gen. Stockwell (Vaughn) hunting them than them helping others. I doubt it would have even made 5 seasons today.
Why does everyone else get their character named except Dirk? I know it’s a stupid thing to get ticked about but he’s been there for every episode minus the pilot, way more than Eddie Velez! He deserves to at least have his character’s name in the opening credits!
This is what you get when you have the original theme song and the producers say "no, no, no, it needs to be MORE 1980's sounding"... personally, I love it!
Tia Carerre was actually supposed the join the A-Team in this season, but her contract with General Hospital at the time prevented it, which is how Eddie Velez came into the picture.
One of TV best shows ever to the actors and actresses who passed away my thoughts are with your family you may be gone but not forgotten still going strong after all these years later real skills and talents and efforts are deeply appreciated even on the ateam always a classic to watch on TV or my cell phone appreciate the memories RIP George peppard and Robert Vaughn you may be gone but not forgotten still I love it when a plan comes together one of the best and favorite punch lines ever appreciate the memories great job people you should be amazed and proud !!!! Joe
I love how in the beginning, dozens of trained us military soilders missed every shot from their assault rifles, while the A team blew up the heavily guarded prison with a pistol
I definitely prefer the original but I love this theme too. Especially the drums and jumpcuts at the beginning it really helps to bring aboard the tension this season is packed to the brim with. Season 5 always has me on the edge of my seat even if I know how it's all gonna turn out. A wonderful final season for a wonderful show!
The scene where they crash the van through the plane, that was a funny scene in the episode the clip came from. B.A realizes the planes for the team and totals it. Murdoch: You wrecked the plane, what do you have to say for yourself? B.A: *laughs* I ain't getting on no plane.
The show's fifth and final season finds the A-Team captured by General Hunt Stockwell (Robert Vaughn), who decided to allow the team to pay off their debts to society by working with him becoming government agents. During that time, a new member of the team was added: "Dishpan" Frankie Santana (Eddie Velez) a Puerto-Rican American special effects expert.
I dont see him as a a team member, hanniball the plan master, BA the strong one, face the guy who can fix everything and murdock their pilot and last hope on everything, frankie is kinda like amy en tawnia, just a third wheel but not a member
Eddie Velez wasn't really an actual member like Amy and Tawnia weren't. They were all basically tag alongs. The A Team was always Hannibal, Face, Murdock and BA.
This theme version is a bit odd really. It starts off sounding very serious with the drums, but then the keyboard kicks in and it sounds more poppy and lightweight than the original theme.
rating dropped which is why the change, well that and George found it tricky to get along. it didn't work at the time and it got axed only to become a classic. funny how it goes sometimes
Gray Fox [ROU] An alternate edit of the intro, the 3rd I think they did that year, shows that shot for a few more seconds as the pilot pedal-turns toward camera.
The original was alright, but man, this version flavors up the theme song big time. More badass than ever. Too bad the series didn't have the proper conclusion it deserved.
pretty impressive thinking on the writers' parts, thinking that the 5th member of the team being a special effects expert and cover up their messes being extremely useful. only writers who treat their work like their baby can imagine such smart ideas
I love it when my childhood comes together.
Rocky speech was correct. 🤣😂
I first discovered this show in 2009 when I was only 12 and loved the theme.
@@JGProductions6581 I discovered this show way back in the early 90's. The simple and basic times.
Phenomenal comment.

AIRWOLF - KNIGHTRIDER - THE A-TEAM The holy trilogy of 80's excellence!!!!
Honorable mentions to Magnum PI, Automan and Streethawk.
@Geoffrey Walsh Automan is highly underrated.
Macgyver was also killer!
Hunter Season 3 Theme was pretty cool!
No kidding!
I like the original theme with the narration but the new one is just as great with a more modern feel to it with the added synthesizers.
And the precussion.

Agreed, combined with the images of the Vietnam War as you say makes it feel darker. Especially love the segment between 1:07 - 1:22
People like to trash on this theme, and I understand, everyone has an opinion, but I kinda prefer this theme. It really does scream "1986", though.
Totally it has a rhythm.
This theme, to me, is superior and much punchier. Yes, it's of its time but the original theme sounds more '70's than '80's to my ears.

Those 80's keyboard tunes are fire!
This was my favourite tv show when I was little !!
Don't care what anyone says I love this version of the theme
Shame they don't make TV like this anymore just good fun hour of action and comedy
Watch this every Saturday in the 80’s
They really should make more like this
I agree. This version is better for sure ! More of a modern vibe
Me to sinful to say out loud but the start of the theme rocks major
Me too the theme version is better
Back in the time period when the music, visual effects, and photography departments of a TV show put SERIOUS thought into their work.
i agree today it looks so fake yet back in the 80's 90's it was better

@@derekkinman7492 Your comment makes no sense.
The A-Team ran from January 1983 to March 1987…98 episodes.

Indeed.
That's a good idea. After that, THE A-TEAM continued to do what they do best: helping people in need.
In the final scene of the final episode, their Pardon is imminent. Still, they resolve to stay together and do the only job they're qualified to do.
"Chasing thugs in the park?"
"And outlaw motorcycle gangs. And organized crime figures. Why, there's a world of slimeballs out there."
"I knew it. I just knew you had a plan."
"Comforting, isn't it."
"I'll go get the van."
I wished they at least 10 more episodes so it will show Gen Stockwell giving their freedom! Season 5 was great!
Too bad they couldn't have done a tv movie or something a few years later to sum things up.
@@benjaminlucas1635
Season 5 intro is even better than the original.
Run it right into 1987.
It was better than Season 4 which killed the show. This intro (the first part is epic though the remix is pretty terrible)
Steven j Cannal had a TV movie planned with the pardon being the goal however, when George Peppard died of cancer the plan was scrapped.
"I love it when a plan comes together" he's on the jazz again.
oh hell yeah he was
When isn't he on the jazz?

Not so amazing than the original.
it was a good change actually seeing as they finally got caught., so sad they cancelled it

Couldnt agree more. Nbc should be ashamed for letting the Ateam end so lamely.
