The A-Team: Season 03 (1984)

Member Rating:

Soldiers-of-fortune Hannibal Smith (George Peppard), B.A. (Mr. T), Howling Mad Murdock (Dwight Schultz) and Face (Dirk Benedict) continue to fight crime and perform various and sundry acts of derring-do while simultaneously trying to clear themselves of criminal charges as The A-Team launches its third season. With the Team's erstwhile female assistant Amy Allen having left for parts unknown, Amy's function as "Girl Friday" is taken over by Tawnia Baker (Marla Heasley). Also, season three will be the last for semi-regular William Lucking in the role of the Team's ruthless pursuer, Col. Lynch; thereafter, our heroes will be keeping one step ahead of another colonel, Roderick Decker (Lance Le Gault), on a near-exclusive basis. The season opens with the tantalizingly titled "Bullets and Bikinis," in which the A-Team takes over a beachfront hotel in order to foil a mobster. In subsequent adventures, the team heads to the Amazon in hopes of rescuing Tawnia's archeologist fiancé; B.A. agrees to help the Army doctor who once saved his life in the doctor's efforts to rescue the residents of a tropical island from a band of brigands; a group of A-Team impostors wreak havoc at a Wild West show forcing the real team to blow its cover and nearly fall into the waiting hands of Col. Lynch; a damsel in distress (Markie Post) proves to be a real pain in the posterior for her rescuer, Face; the heroes go toe-to-toe with evil industrialists who plan to dump toxic waste in an endangered environment; and in the final episode of the season, the A-Team and Decker's minions have a showdown at a lakeside resort. ~ Rovi
