If I woke up next to Emily, I'd go back to sleep and hope I could conjure up Joanna (Mary Frann) again.

The greatest episode of the A Team had Boy George as a guest star.
Boy George and the Culture Club were singing at some rowdy road side bar ( WHy? Don't ask.) Some big guys were talking during Karma Kamelion and B.A. asked them to stop so he could "listen to the song". They refused and B.A. and Boy George cleaned up the room with haymakers and some chairs smashed over heads. Good times....Good Good time...

[Holicheese]

That was the best episode. Great ending with the .45 going off. Ivan deserved everything he got.

I was always hoping the Tom and the hot redhead navy gal would hook up. She was spanky!

I thought he woke up next to Suzanne Pleshette.

That was the best finale of all time.

I literally fell on the floor.

I met and had dinner with Tom, John Hillerman, Larry Manetti; the guy who played TC couldn't make it. They were all great guys and we had fun on the sets for the next few days.

Thank you, C.

So what happened on the finale? You can FReep mail me if you want. Who was Robin Masters? What's the deal with Suzanne?

I'm still waiting for the Widescreen Commemorative edition of "D.C. Cab" to come out on DVD.

Ah yes, I remember the many send-ups of the A-Team done by "Cracked" magazine back in my youth...

[DJ MacWoW]

Black screen and a gunshot. Much more powerful than a visual!

[butternut_squash_bisque]

There'd be lots of grey hair and bald spots on that show. LOL! They'd have to do a "Magnum: 20 Years On", or something like that, I'd guess. We'll probably be hearing from him or his agent about it, someday soon.

[RockinRight]

Selleck is 60 but he'd still be good for the part, IMHO.

[Muzzle_em]

IMO, Tom Selleck is one of the most handsome men alive.
He will look great into his 70's.

[DJ MacWoW]

There'd be lots of grey hair and bald spots on that show. LOL!

LOL!!! But it would be a fun trip down memory lane. And they could still solve a crime. They'd just have to solve it s-l-o-w-e-r. "Higgins" is in his 70's. LOL

[Hatteras]

Emily... maybe you should wear more sweaters... ;-)

[dinasour]

This was the Bob Newhart show. You young whipper-snappers may be too young to remember, but he had two long running sitcoms, once as a shrink in Chicago, then another character as a writer in a B&B in Vermont.

For the last show of the second sitcom, they spent weeks implying that they would kill off his character. Nobody could figure out how they could pull that off in a comedy.

So on that episode, he get hit by a golf ball, then wakes beside Suzzane Pleshette, his TV wife from the first show.

The entire series had been a dream. An obvious tweak at the show Dallas.

[dfwgator]

Best show ending, ever!

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Wonder if he'll be involved in this.

Eeewwwwww! Tom Selleck's a....gasp!....Republican. And Conservative to boot!
Hollyweird in its present form won't have anything to do with him anymore.

[conservativebabe]

Oh yes!

[DJ MacWoW]

I think they're desperate enough for a hit that they might consider it. Lately they seem partial to waltzing down memory lane. And Selleck does seem to work regularly.

[conservativebabe]

I hope Tom Selleck will actually star in it, otherwise, I won't watch it.

Are they really this hard up for talented writers to come up with something new?
