What if you then hear that Liam Neeson is playing Hannibal (George Peppard's character in the series)? Make any difference? I have to admit, it at least caught my attention.

If you watch, watch to the end.

1. I guess you just can't get some people to care about high culture these days.

4. Mr T was so outlandish back then...
Of course, if you saw a scowling bodybuilder with a weird mohawk, earrings and a million "gold" chains out on the street today, you probably wouldn't look twice.

11. I think you've just stumbled upon a brilliant idea:
The A-Team: The Romantic Comedy.


Brilliant!

14. Hollywood builds the safest cars in the world.
Except that they explode when they run off three foot cliffs.

10. I didn't either, but it's Liam Neeson!
Not that George Peppard wasn't a surprisingly good actor to get into a mindless tv show like that in the first place.

15. Okay, the thing with the tank...
I'm sorry, I can only suspend so much disbelief...

Totally ruined it for me...

Still a tanker at heart...

18. That was the only thing that seemed implausible to you?
:rofl: Who even bothers with disbelief, much less suspending it?

And no one is paying attention to the real issue. Liam Neeson!! Dang it, it's Liam Neeson!!! Did you see where he said "I love it when a plan comes together!"???? I smelled Oscar!! Well, okay, I think it was A_Schwarzenegar's Oscar, but still...

21. No. Just the only implausibility that really bothered me.
Just as I imagine a ballistics technician would be bothered by the ability of the A-Team members to spray bullets everywhere and not hit anybody...

22. Yeah, well, anyone who's ever shot a BB gun is bothered by that.
:)

I remember watching part of one episode in high school--I think it was the only one I tried to watch, but maybe there were a couple of others. At one point they needed to stop a car, so they took about eight sticks of dynamite, taped them together, and wired them under a manhole cover. No problem, right, that would certainly stop a car. SO the car drove over the manhole cover, they detonated this huge wad of dynamite, and it just flipped the car over on its side. Everyone crawled out, looking at the tiny smooty smudge left by enough dynamite to level a medium size building. :rofl: The science was a little shaky in that series.
