Hi everyone. I just feel like there have been no new posts on here for a long time, so I thought I would make a thread about nothing in particular. Just wanted to say hi and hoping everyone is doing okay.

I've been stuck in the attic for like a week and despite screaming for days none of you have come to let me out. At the very least can one of you bring me some fresh leaves? The others are stale.

I have been working my butt off. But I still try to check in, even if I don't post. I guess you will just have to work on some more episode reviews, Amy.

Oh, I'm back at work. It's busier than ever. Sometimes I fall asleep sitting up at the end of the day! I'm just so exhausted! I wonder if it's my old age or if it's maybe wearing the mask all day... I don't know. Everything seems harder to manage lately.
Also, I have to admit that usually when I make a thread, the conversation peters out after one or two posts at the most. It's hard to feel motivated to post without some active posters. It's wonderful that we have regular visitors. I just wish we had more people that enjoyed the back and forth of conversation.

To me, it always seemed cyclical outside of you, Amy, and a couple of others at times. I always feel that we do great in the winter months when people are inside...then it slowly tapers off. Maybe we are ready to hit our stride again. I'm hoping to get the family back on track with our watching soon. I think that will help me be more active.

I think we need something new and exciting to happen to the A-Team world. Like maybe us finally getting to see the commentary included in that UK box set. That would get a lot of conversation going. Otherwise, maybe after 30-something years, we've talked everything to death.

I've cut down to watching only one episode per month. Once I watch, I usually have stuff to post again. I don't care if we've already talked it to death. I still enjoy resurrecting it from the dead to talk about it again!
And I think it's pretty amazing that this forum has lasted as long as it has, in essentially the same format. Yes, we have people come and go, which is fine. I still think there can be new fans who may discover the forum and get excited about it. Whether that lasts a month or years, it's okay with me.
But I agree that it is easier to keep things going when there are more people posting.

Maybe we will add some new fans. I saw that the movie is free on Amazon Prime. And when the show is free we tend to get new blood. Plus, old people return at times when their other forums or places seem to slow down. I like that we are the constant of the A-TEAM world so far. We are the Mr. Lee to people who need us. And he can help them find the A-TEAM.

I've been really busy lately, but I drop in fairly often to see if there's been any activity, even if I don't have much time to stay and write anything.
After a year and a half of living a strange kind of life with fewer commitments and more free time suddenly everything is starting to happen again all at once!
I haven't watched an episode for a while either, but I miss it. I went years without watching the show and I won't allow that to happen again! I suppose because I don't feel that I can commit to a full series re-watch at the moment it's hard to choose a favourite ep, or just a random ep to watch.

It's a new month, so time for me to watch another episode! I also feel really busy. To be honest, while I hate all the suffering and death that the pandemic brought, I kind of liked the pandemic lifestyle of not having to go to a lot of events or having so many commitments. Now I am feeling somewhat overwhelmed with all the things I feel I should be doing, people to get together with, and also a lot of travel commitments for the work that I'm doing.

I saw that the movie is free on Amazon Prime. Still costs too much tbh.

The cost is in terms of time spent watching.....I don't think I'm likely to do that unless it is offered when I'm traveling on an airplane or something like that. (Sort of like if I'm a captive audience.) I just watched CHARIOTS OF FIRE last month on an airplane, although I had seen it in the theater back when it originally came out, which I think was about 1980. I don't think I've seen it since though!
