I don’t have anything to add to this. It is exactly how I feel. 😁

Simon & Simon right after Magnum PI

Don’t forget Miami Vice, Amazing Stories, Twilight Zone, Tales from the Darkside, War of the Worlds, Friday the 13th The Series, Freddy’s Nightmares, Tales from the Crypt….

MIAMI VICE

For the younger set we had The Muppets and Fraggle Rock. Never mind reruns of Johnny Quest and old school Looney Tunes. If you were Canadian you were watching Beachcombers and The Littlest Hobo before (and probably after) Gretzky Night in Canada on Saturday. And our parents got to watch Cheers, The Love Boat, Fantasy Island, Hill Street Blues and Murder She wrote. Even Entertainment Tonight was a staple. Ahh Leeza Gibbons. What an era. Much of it was schmaltzy, but it was so pure and honest.

Agreed

1000000% YES for a reboot!!!

Me too, I was born in '79 so I remember some of the 80' and the 90' was the greatest decade to grow up in...

Born in 78, my 1st memories are from 81, the 80's were epic in ways we're only now realising.

i love those replies, see me being great i was there bullshit. all you guys and girls make my day. thanks for that

Don't forget airwolf. :)

The Fall Guy

Hell yeah

we sawthem at latin america ,... but one of the best was LOS MAGNIFICOS the A team

Magnum pi

I think it was because cable exploded and networks needed cheap ready made programming not that I am complaining the show was awesome!

Lol shut up fooool

The Spike network was airing it in 2002 and there-abouts. That military band type opening+closing theme music and "America F-Yeah" spirit was just what the U.S. needed after 9/11.

Not only good shows, but memorable main theme soundtracks - 60's/70's/80's shows like Mission impossible, Knight rider, A-Team, Hawaii Five-O and many others.

Hell yeah I used to come home from school and watch they also had Miami Vice on too.

Yes, it makes for a lot of good laughs. It never gets old!😅

Could definitely have worked but I dread to think what they would do to it now!!!

Not sure about Carrey and Snipes. ESPECIALLY Snipes😆. The other three would’ve been interesting.

They'd do a Ghostbusters 2016 on it. And then blame us for not liking it

Clooney is too short to play Hannibal. George Peppard was at least six feet tall and dominated the screen as a believable leader and Vietnam veteran. Clowny isn’t as tall and basically plays the same character in every film he does.

All of those choices work except for Snipes. Ving Rhames would have been an awesome BA in a remake. I think they reached out to him for the movie but he wanted too much money.

Think he was Muhammad Ali bodyguard at one time to. He really was tough as he looked

Yes, actually, that special is where Stallone discovered him.

He was a private bodyguard in Chicago after he left the Army ( served as a MP) and was very active in dealing with at risk teens in Chicago prior to show business. My Mom worked with him at the youth center and there was never any trouble when he was around. A few times he walked my Mom to the El station and he would wait with her until she was on the train. He might look big and mean but Mr. Teo ( Birth name is Lawrence Teo) but he's a very gentle and humble man..

You took Face over Murdock?! 🤔

it's a shame that _Dukes of Hazzard_ never had a character named Murdock; then it would be an even holier trinity!

Amen brother 👍

Yeah

That's really interesting. I never saw 3 kings or the A-team movie. Maybe I'll give it a chance, thanks to your review :) Also, just so some of the new or non fans know, when we were fans in the 80s, we had all the toys, trading cards, coloring books, t-shirts, etc. The only thing that none of us had, was the Amy Allen figure. Lol Nothing personal against the character or actress, but we had our 4 stars, and the casting was perfect! Don't you love it when a cast, ( writers, music, special effects and equipment) comes together. Sorry but I had to say it! Cheers from Canada

I wondered why Three Kings seemed to have the comfort of nostalgia, good catch. I might download and watch The A-Team (2010) today - I'd not heard of it before.

I saw Three Kings. I never got an A-Team vibe from it. The show absolutely sucked.

I was going to say that myself and a friend always saw Three Kings as a spiritual successor to The A Team programme.

What a take👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I have to look @ this movie differently now

My neighborhood friends and I used to regularly "play" A-Team. We would come up with some sort of "mission" and take roles as the 4 guys and a few bad guys. I was always Face unless I lost rock paper scissors and had to be a bad guy 🤣

Mine do, I found all 5 seasons and we've been watching one episode regularly every week since august, after school and before their swimming lessons...They like Murdock the best, BA comes in as a close second...

They wanted Mr. T to be the big tough guy in the group and the original Face (from the Pilot) was too big and tall as they stood next to each other. The network wanted the pilot episode Face but the creators wanted Dirk B. :)

I had this exact realization about myself not too long ago. The A-Team and Burn Notice are two of my all-time favorite TV shows. 👍🏿👍🏿

For me Burn notice was a compo of the A team Macgyver and the Equalizer :)

@@Tycowiz MacGyver! Another favorite! Well said

Especially The Fall of Sam Axe.

Hannaibel kills the guy who shot fulbright he blows him up!

@@philfitnesspt6139 You're quite right. I had forgotten that story. Quite a dark story for The A-Team. Fulbright's daughter was supposed to join them for Season Five but was changed for Frankie Santana in the end.

Obrigada! (Hope I got that right!). Enjoyed your comment. Love this part of the internet, glimpses of perspectives from people all over the world. I’m in the Canadian Prairies, A-Team was in re-runs (hilariously erratic + out of order chronologically, so even more surreal) on non-cable when I was young -I was really into Murdoch, he made “crazy” look like a superpower, & my fam has lots of diagnosed crazy so Little Kid Me appreciated that - & I get a kick out of your title translations. “Soldiers Of Fortune” rings a bell; I can’t remember but I feel like it was used as an alternative title by multiple countries where it translated well. Maybe Brazilian Portuguese was the first? Brazil is so multifaceted. I was lucky enough to meet a musicologist & his partner, a Bahian dancer, while in university. He was doing a Masters on unique rhythms within a particular subgenre solely associated with traditional dance originating in Bahia & he was trying to record + document as much as possible before that form of it disappeared or roots buried bc it’d been “discovered” by people beyond the specific cultural groups who used it in a context that was really different to the industries that produce art or dance for demographics of public. So it was in the process of being “modernized”, often in good faith by talented musicians, esp some Bahian hiphop-influenced artists using samples or parts of beats, but as usual alongside the real artists trying to explore it legitimately, there were also “commercial cannibalizing” vultures circling, smoothing it out to appeal to as broad audience as possible, & integrating it with that shiny tourist pan-Brazil thing they do in international promo that flattens the astonishing diversity + richness of the many cultures + influences in Brazil, from before the Spanish til today. Apologies; I wish I could remember the name of the music/dance or the various groups practicing it. It was nicher than niche plus I was ignorant eep but I remember a lot of the narratives, eg his research helped trace it further back to an enclave of Afro-Brazilians who found a home & refuge in a part of north Bahia with 3 different indigenous peoples. Anyways it was sooo specific that when the couple noticed I couldn’t follow too deeply bc I lacked background, they made music mixes that were field-recorded examples of different music systems + rhythms from dozens & dozens of different regional groups globally, so I could ear-train a bit, including Brazil. I’m pretty sure my Eldritch Ex stole those. But thankfully I still have many mixes the musicologist made for me that was like a “history of commercially recorded Brazil”, with reference points from the 1920s to the early 80s, mostly foundational + vintage popular artists. Then I got hooked on alt-Brazilian films from the 70s -90s lol but that’s another story. Lol sorry about the length, you got my brain reminiscing & I bet I know what the rest of my day will sound like🤩 Anyways thanks, that put a smile on my face. Haven’t thought of this in years. Ok off to listen to Secos & Molhados Sangue Latino 50x in a tow now lol

First think I noticed about this video. No Decker. But I can't remember when he replaced Lynch

​@@williamwilson3161 it was in when you coming home lone rangers s.2 two parter.

And Crystal Skull is one of the shows worst episodes too!

@@stevenbootes8807 A lot of season 5 episodes are quite shaky but it does stand out amongst the others as a proper mess 😆

The Benny Hill parody was a hoot.

Hunter Is a gem but nobody I know has ever heard of it I watched it daily. Best gunfights

@@sterlingstoots3215 I used to watch it weekly when it was a Saturday night staple on NBC, like SNL and Dr. Madblood (a local horror host here in Virginia). I love the shootouts too. My only complaint was that they were making Hunter more of a drama in later seasons, as opposed to the Dirty Harry-esque show it started as. It started like a cop version of The A-Team and ended more like Law and Order. I like L&O, but not in my Hunter.

@@jackmackakaheavyguyhaiku545 cool I'm from southwest VA myself

@@sterlingstoots3215 I've lived my entire life in Hampton Roads, VA.

And never actually shot anyone. They'd unload automatic weapons at pursuers who never caught a slug. They'd just turn and run like scared girls. It was amazing! And Mr. T carried it, which was abundantly clear when Damnation Alley came out! He never let go of Banacek.

@@lonefriar4700 thats the evidence of great marksmanship these army rangers A-Team has

It's impressive how they made such a ridiculous premise work for the movie.

How ?

I remember the "Mohawk Bombs" It's been years since I played WoW.

Wish I could Like this comment 25x bc you incorporated “sucka” *. * NOTE: my part of Canada spells it with an end “h”, ie “suckah”. But hmm your spelling is sleeker & more aerodynamic-looking - very BA - without losing the sound, so I may have to betray my country for this & go with your take + use the “no h” from now on. Sorry🇨🇦but I swear to uphold the oddball “u” in other Canadiana words & I will never stop calling them “gaunch” unless it becomes a slur or I learn it’s a slur somehow somewhere to someone. I’m not dying on a hill of gaunch & I’d rather be nice to folks; I can find synonyms for “underwear” if I must lol.

Not necessarily a fan fave but I thought Lt. Barclay was an interesting character.

@@Poizenne He was something alright. The episode of him in the holodeck was comedy gold.

I found Lt. Barclay to be hard to swallow on Star Trek The Next Generation. A character like that would never get into Starfleet. He totally took me right out of the show when he appeared.

Nah wasn't great you just can't replicate the original show as they had so much talent in 4.stars anything else is like watching a poor copy they should brought back the original stars who were still alive obviously that would been great movie all 3 were were still young enough to have done it in 2010 but stupid Hollywood always wants current stars and hence it didn't work! Only one ba face and murdock.

@@philfitnesspt6139 They can't The remaining cast of 84 is very old This guy here is dead

@@philfitnesspt6139 there were two faces in the show, the first series had Tim Dunigan as face

true savage but merciful.

Incorrect there were actually a.few deaths 2 in s.5 at least 2 in s.4 1 in s.3 maybe more. 1 in s.2 and St least 1 in s.1 that's 7 that I can think off also the odd death mentioned especially in episode with boy george
