Great episode -Captian Cab, need I say more ? The only issue I have with this episode is when Face questions Murdock's abilities - hate that.

Just finished watching this one....I gave it a 9. Probably the only thing I really dislike is how Hannibal (as Clarence Wickersham III) calls "Harold" "retarded," but I also realize that back then, this may not have sounded quite as offensive as it does now. I think I can accept Face's questioning of Murdock because I do think BA has gotten to Face, as Hannibal even asked him. Even Face's words sound almost the same as BA's words describing Murdock's antics.
I do love it how Face is even left out of the plan for him to be "Harold" until Hannibal starts calling him that.

Yes, and the whole bit between them with Face's new gun and brand new car....SIGH.... This is the Vette's first appearance on the show and Face is all concerned she's going to get shot up. And Hannibal's like, don't worry I'll tell them to shoot around it!
I love Captain Cab, but it's also a great Hannibal and Face episode.

Yes I forgot about the use of retarded - I do cringe whenever he says it

Really Hannibal and Face have such great chemistry together - most of their scenes together are gold. I laugh out loud with the shoot around it line

Yeah, it is kind of like the little exchange between them in RANGE RIDER where Face really would like to believe that Carter's men will never be prepared for them hitting the train for a second time, but of course both he and Hannibal know that Carter's men will be prepared for that very thing....and here, they both know that there's no way the bad guys are going to shoot around the car if they get in a firefight. I just really do love those two together and I think they have such good chemistry.

Check out Issue #2 of the A-Team Fan Club newsletter in the Fan Club thread - it features a page from the original script for TAXICAB WARS!
It's only one page, but it's still pretty cool to see.

I have always loved this episode. When I was little, I thought Captain Cab was real. Face and Hannibal have a lot of great scenes. That's why it's surprising they didn't try to do more of that in Seasons 4 and 5 when the cast were having issues. Why force Hannibal and B.A. together when Hannibal and Face can be comedy gold?

I also would have liked to see more of Face and B.A. together without the rest of the team, because I can't even really remember a time when it was just the two of them.

This episode has just been shown on TV again over here in England. The re runs have just started being shown again. (I have the DVD's, but still watch them when they're shown on tv)! It' s still as popular as it ever was. I just watched it with my dad, he didn't really like them when they was first on, but I loved them as a kid, but now he loves them and laughed his head off at Murdock in this episode. Has now decided to walk around with a sock on his hand! 🙈. I love this episode, it's of the funniest between BA & Murdoch, plus it shows Murdock is just as capable as the others are at doing the serious business, even if he is a 'little different'!

Funny how so many women love it , when it's sometimes seen as a guy's show. Two of my friends who are girls absolutely love it. I introduced them to it a few years ago, they had seen some of it in the past, but didn't take that much notice, but I have now converted them into fans too!

I love it more now than when it was on originally (although I used to like it then). My mom often enjoyed watching it with me. Not sure my dad was as excited about it, though.

I remember I used to watch it from about 6 years old, then years later when they started putting them back on to again, when I first saw it I always remember my dad saying to me,'It's the A Team, you loved this' I couldn't believe it was being re shown, as soon as I saw it again, that was it, I was an ATeamer again & have been ever since. 😊 It feels so strange & nostalgic, actually remembering watching it as a kid. I can remember the feelings when watching it. My friends at school were watching proper kids shows & there I was telling the teacher what had happened in the A Team the night before! 😁 I watch them with my dad now & he loves them aswell.
