Season 5 starts downturn, 2010-03-17
Season 5 is a shadow of the first 4 seasons by far. By Season 5, the presense of Mr. T is barely seen in each episode; one can only guess that his part in the show was cut down significantly by 1986. In truth, the true star of the show in this and in Season 4 was Dwight Shultz, whose character of H.M. Murdock truly took center stage in over half of the episodes. Season 5 seems to have been specificaly written for him. The shows lost most of their comedic appeal by 1986-87, and became more spy/espionage thrillers than "Soldiers of Fortune" chronicles. The initial trilogy of the pilot episode of this season was excellent, finally giving the history of The A-Team in detail, and including Murdock as a part of the Team. A good watch for nostalgia buffs, even if it only lasted 13 episodes; I guess the machine gun/tech craze of the early to mid 80's was dying out by now.... The change to the Main Theme song was at the same time cool but uncool, as the opening trademark dialogue "In 1972..." was missed. br /RIP George Peppard.......still one of the coolest men who ever lived.

A-Team Season Five, 2009-06-05
Being 21 years old I have watched the A-Team most of my life and I am a big fan of the show. I love the first four seasons and I just received the fifth season and the episodes I have seen are really good. I do have to get use to that Frankie character still as well as Stockwell but still the shows are good. I've only seen the episodes on the first disk and the third disk since Amazon.com sent me a season five package with two disk three's but I have contacted them and they are sending a replacement with two day shipping and thankfully no charge to me, so hopefully disc two will be with this new set that is coming and I will then get to see those episodes as well.

final season, 2008-09-29
The only season that really sucked. Murdock, sane? What! You take away my favorite part of the show and give him drivel activities and expect me to stick with you? Nope. Frankie isn't so bad of an addition to the team, I could have lived with that addition even more than I put up with the second reporter of season three.

A-Team , 2008-04-18
I really enjoyed A-Team as a child. I remember looking forward to it coming on. I have all of the A-Team season. When I saw this here on Amazon at this price I knew I needed to get it. Great great DVD for anyone collection.

Only 13 episodes - wait for a good price!, 2008-02-03
Not the best season, and certainly not the best retail price for a 13 episode DVD box-set. If you're a fan of the A-Team you're going to want to add the final season to your collection, but I would suggest waiting for a decent sale price. br / br /JM
