That new show “Leverage” is just like the “A Team”. A bit more high-tech, but enough shooting and explosions to keep it interesting. I love it.

I’ll go back a little farther to “I know nothing!”

Two seconds! (And was it always “see”? You might be right!)

My old man, WWII vet, would come in while I was watching Hogan’s Hero’s, watch for a little bit, get a few laughs and then walk out going “oh that crazy show”. Little did I know back then....

Sledge was THE man!

Hey, did you know that David Rasche played Donald Greene in the film United 93

He was the designated guy who was going to try and land the plane after the passengers took back control of the flight from the hijackers, which of course never happened. :(

Yeah, Maxwell Smart must have had 16 by himself. I was in college when the show was on and everyone was quoting Max.
