Dun- du-dun-dunnn-dun- dun- dun … And….of course you instantly recognized that as the theme song from the best action series of the 80’s, The A-Team. Hannibal, Faceman, Murdock and BA “Bad Attitude” Baracus……..ahhhhh…….the crème de la crème of action cheese…..savor the flavor, baby. It seems just like yesterday ole George Peppard was bringing DeNiro-like acting chops to the line “I love it when a plan comes together.” As a matter of fact, who needs DeNiro or Pacino or Denzel or Hanks when you got Mr. frickin’ T ? I pity the fool that doesn’t believe me! Let’s reminisce just a little more and recap a typical episode, shall we? It opens with an explosion. Someone needs the A-Team. Hannibal meets them in some ridiculous disguise. The team agrees to help. Something blows up. The A-Team goes to work. Something else blows up. Face runs a scam to get what they need and then they drug BA and put him on a plane, of which he is terrified. Something really blows up and then they get caught. Then they devise a plan. Hannibal utters his classic line. They blow everything up and it ends with a little funny one liner about things blowing up.
Now, how the hell can you mess with something that good? I have personally seen NASA physicists cry because they could not devise a formula that amazing. But now Dark Horizons reports that “NBC is interested in bringing "The A-Team" back. The plan is for a four-hour NBC mini-series that will air next February. That would eventually lead to a new series starting next fall if it were to rate well.”
You can imagine that I was more excited than Simon Cowell at a man-bra sidewalk sale! Until…….. Until……I can’t seem to type through the tears of rage I am fighting. They not only want to make BA Baracus a woman but they want her to be played by……I can’t believe I am saying this….. Lil Kim, the rapper. ARE YOU FRICKIN’ KIDDING ME? Would you pull Jimmy Stewart from it’s a wonderful life and replace him with Pauly frickin’ Shore? Bruce Willis in Die Hard with Pee Wee frickin’ Herman? Ben Affleck in Daredevil with Conan O’ frickin’ Brien? Ok, well, the last one might work. Actually, that would be much better. But Mr T with Lil Kim? That sounds more like the “D Team”.
I am certain that this corruption was foretold in the bible as prophecy for the end times. Repent readers, repent. The hour draws near when a big fire will appear in the sky. Jesus? Nope, Mr. T and he will be pissed off and collecting souls. Don’t say you weren’t warned.
