Ep by ep; The Battle of Bell Air

Kurtwood Smith, The A-team is certainly a haven for great American character actors, he's very Clarence Boddicker here, when he storms into the apartment with the silenced pistol I keep expecting him to say 'Bitches leave!'. And here's Tawnia, I actually prefer her to Amy who at least gets a verbal signoff, we know she got a foreign correspondent's job in Borneo. Interesting that Hannibal is the most resistant to her joining.

Off course they copy the pool gag from Diamonds are Forever although it's a nice touch that no one believes him. Still he manages to end up in the arms of a beautiful woman, talk about a bed of roses.

Note the A-team still have their M16s and M60 which we seldom see after season 1. This is perhaps the greatest example of the A-teams tradition of staging fatal crashes and having people just walk away, presumably using footage from Airwolf. Also some serious exposition from the lead bad guy's first line, summing up the plot and explaining the gimmick countdown in one neat sentence
