Pet other than Billy

[sidney]

If the A-Team had a pet - an honest to goodness VISIBLE animal - that they brought with them in the van and on jobs, what kind of animal would work?

Could you see a cat sitting on Hannibal's lap as he planned? Relaxing on a tool box as BA worked? There could be a whole comedy thing where Billy was afraid of the cat.

Would a talking bird fit with the team? Can you imagine the fun with that? It could tell Face how handsome he looked all the time.

Maybe Murdock's hamster should have had a larger role.

I think it would have had to have been a visible dog - one that could even go help them out of trouble from time to time...or would that end up being too "Lassie-like"!?

Maybe BA has a pet chihuahua. It would be cute to see him walking a tiny little chihuahua on a leash.

And it would be funny if it had a really "tough-sounding" name - like "Fang" or "Spike."

OMG We need an episode where for some reason Murdock is toting around a talking parrot, who he's probably taught to say silly things (and definitely stuff to annoy B.A.). And this bird is just riding in the van, maybe being a backseat driver, and you see B.A. white-knuckling the steering wheel trying not to pull over and drag them both out of the van and smash them... LOL

They did have that parrot or whatever it was to deal with in BENEATH THE SURFACE....

Was "Mike" a pet? I cant remember if that was made clear.

Murdock bonded well with the sniffer dog in CUP A JOE.

I think "Mike" was just some animal they were able to borrow from time to time....maybe from a zoo?

Murdock always bonds with dogs, even ones that are invisible and even ones that are betraying him to the bad guys (DEADLY MANEUVERS).
