Yes, that is what it says. That's cool if you can get one. Just make sure to post a picture. I may have to contact SJC and see if he cares if we make some replicas of the Murdock shirts. ;D

I see it now - a whole new business. And then when some bad guy comes in and wants to take over our business for some underhanded scheme, we call the A Team in to come take care of things. Then of course we have to give them a percentage of the profits in order to cover their fee. And because we would be so grateful to Murdock we just donate all the rest of the profits to VA hospitals. See, here's an episode for my season 6, the season that only exists in my mind. (And I just heard B.A. say "ain't nothin' existin' in your mind but empty space!") I think I am watching this show too much, now I am starting to have invisible friends who are named B.A. talking to me!)

I think the back of the season 1 DVD sums it up: I'm on friendly speaking terms with all the voices in my head. ;D

What are you looing at, the actual CD case or the box? I have not even opened up my Season 1 yet, but I'm looking at the box and don't see what you are talking about. But I did notice something strange. The middle paragraph is almost quoting the intro, but not exactly. I think it is wierd that they did not just quote the intro word for word....maybe some problem with a copyright issue? The other thing I am surprised about is that it says it was popular with fans and critics alike. I did not realize any critics liked the show back in the '80s! I know the merchandisers liked it with all the A Team stuff they were able to sell, especially all the Mr. T stuff!

On the back where they have the "bios" for the guys, they state that Murdock is on friendly speaking terms with all the voices in his head. You're right about the opening narration; they got it wrong. And at least from what I've seen, The A-Team is one of those shows that's more appreciated in retrospect. It's funny to me that when it was first on, the NEA and parents' groups tried to get it off the air because of the supposed violence. Man, they always miss the mark, don't they?

The naysayers should be court-martialed. ;D

Since it's never too early to start planning for Halloween...
Good news! I got a friend of a friend to let me borrow his plane for some "authenticity" since I'm planning on dressing as Murdock for Halloween. I'll be sure and take some pics. For the record, I can't fly a plane, but I did take one of those introductory lessons once, and it's pretty fun! Now I just gotta customize my A-2 jacket for some more authenticity.

He let you borrow his plane? You aren't flying door-to-door are you?

No...if I were gonna do that, I'd take a chopper. Just to take some pics with the plane, in the cockpit, that kinda thing. (PLANE!!)

No, but i wish I had. Everyone here SHOULD get one, since just about everyone is a Murdockian. They have tons of different apparel, stickers, and so forth. (I'd also like a sticker that says "H.M. Murdock is My Co-Pilot.") ;D

Great! It would be nice to have a T-Shirt or a sticker or a mug... Can't decide what I like best ;D And it's nice that the A-Team still inspires so many people (even if their intention is to earn money)
