Hey everyone,
I'm new here - Been looking for a place just like this one for sometime - there's quite a few of you's who love Eighties shows, and I love the reviews that someone has written up for The A-Team and Quantum Leap - forgive me, I can't remember his or her name, but may I mention that the reason there were no extra materials for the A-Team Season 1 set, is because the original cast demanded a higher wage for appearing in what was planned a 30-minute retrospective documentary, along with a featurette or two, and an audio commentary for the original NBC 2-hour Pilot Episode, 'MEXICAN SLAYRIDE'. I think it was Mr. T who started the argument over the payments, etc.
I'm disappointed that two of the most internationally well-known and popular Eighties action drama series haven't even been given a mention by Universal: Airwolf, starring Jan-Michael Vincent and Ernest Borgnine, about a super black & white multi-armed, Mach 1 plus helicopter (Created and Executive Produced by Donald P. Bellisario, who served the same production roles for Magnum, p.i. and Quantum Leap, and currently J.A.G. and Navy N.C.I.S.), and The Equalizer, starring Edward Woodward, about a former CIA agent who retires to act as a one-man security officer, serving those who have exceeded all kinds of legal justice action, and whose lifes are in imminent, and usually potentially fatal danger.
I would like to know how many people on these boards remember these two top-class, highly original and unique, and well-recognised cult classic shows from the best decade for television. I was going to ask you all if you could please sign "The Equalizer on DVD and Music CD", but I haven't posted 15 posts yet, so unfortunately I can't list the direct URL of the petition.
Thanks again,
Marty
