I'm with Bert 100% on COWBOY GEORGE - the few scenes we get with the team doing their thing are perfectly fine, but the rest of it is so bad it has to be at the bottom of my list.

I don't know how old everyone else is here, but maybe a reason I don't mind COWBOY GEORGE is because the Culture Club and Boy George are a part of my high school days, even though I was not a huge fan of theirs. Maybe there's a bit of nostalgia affecting me in regards to this episode. I also just like some of the lines from the Floor 'Em guy against Boy George and think that part is funny!

I think I'm only a few years younger than you as I would have been listening to Boy George and Culture Club when I was around 10 or 11. Their music was the music of my childhood so I understand the nostalgic factor. I like their music, I just don't like it in The A-Team! And Boy George is a great singer, but he's terrible actor and he just seems so out of place in the show.

In general I'm not a fan of the celebrity guest star episodes in Season 4 as they seem so forced into the plot, but at least it sort of makes sense that BA might know Hulk Hogan - and even the Hulkster can deliver lines more convincingly than poor Boy George!

There are some great lines in the ep and all the scenes with just the team are as good as in any other episode - I particularly like Face and Murdock's scenes with the owner of the Floor 'Em at the start of the episode and of course Murdock disguised as a pregnant woman is hilarious - but for me having Boy George running around kicking in doors (he didn't even do that convincingly!) just makes the whole thing too far fetched (even for The A-Team!!) to be enjoyable. I only enjoy laughing at how bad it is and I don't want to be doing that with a show I love so much.

I also am not really a fan of the celebrity guest star episodes in general. I guess I'm not really sure if Boy George's acting is so bad because I kind of imagine him to be like the way he was in the episode in real life. HAHA!
