A-Team A Go Go!

The complete series arrives on disc; proves once and for all that it's what's on the outside that counts

Before Hollywood's complete and utter evisceration of your youth culminates in this Friday's theatrical remake of The A-Team, snag yourself some original recipe. Today, The A-Team The Complete Series rolls onto DVD in the. best. packaging. ever. No, your eyes aren't playing tricks on you. That's the A-Team's GMC badass-mobile, and yes that's Mr. T scowling at you fools from behind the wheel. With the help of George Peppard riding shotgun, T is hauling 25 discs that span all five seasons of the show that launched his career (which did include more than just eating people's balls in the '90s).

You know the score: A crack commando unit is wrongly accused of a crime they did not commit and promptly escape captivity. Colonel John "Hannibal" Smith, Sergeant Bosco Albert B.A. "Bad Attitude" Baracus, Lieutenant Templeton "Faceman" Peck and Captain H.M. "Howling Mad" Murdock become the A-Team. Their self-mandated mission is to fight evil with gratuitous explosions, absurd fight scenes and weapons made from welding together old crap. And if there's one thing they love more than when a plan comes together, it's welcoming A-list '80s guest stars, which over the course of the show's five seasons included Boy George, Rick James, Refrigerator Perry, Pat Sajak and Vanna White.

Special features includes a bonus episode (The A-Team Point of No Return), a Great '80s TV Flashback featurette, and a Rumors of Soldiers of Fortune featurette.

And Mr. T driving the box
