The A-Team television show ran from 1983-87 on the NBC network. The plot revolved around a group of ex-US Special Forces personnel,
real independent spirits, who were on the run from the US Army relating to a "misunderstanding" from the Vietnam War. The group operated as merceneires in the western United States going up
against all types of crooks, gangs, terrorists, thugs - helping out those
who were down and out. The A-Team comprised of "Hannibal" Smith (George Peppard),
Templeton "Faceman" Peck (Dirk Benedict), H.M. Murdock (Dwight Schultz), B.A. Baracus (Mr. T) and B.A.'s black 1983 GMC van.
