TV URBAN LEGEND<\/span><\/u>: B.A. Baracus never actually said “I pity the fool” on The A-Team<\/i>.<\/p>\n

The A-Team<\/i> was a fascinating hit TV series in that it was absurd even for the era in which it aired (1983-1987). The cartoon violence on the program was evident when, in the very first episode, a jeep carrying soldiers pursuing the team flips over spectacularly and crashes (it’s an impressive enough shot that the show continued to use it in the opening credits for pretty much the entire run of the series). Voice overs, of course, quickly assure viewers that both the driver and the passenger of the jeep were fine after the crash. That was The A-Team<\/em> in a nutshell – spectacular violence but people almost never actually got hurt, despite the A-Team’s extensive use of explosives and automatic weapons. The A-Team<\/em> was about a team of soldiers who were falsely accused of a crime that they did not commit in the closing days of the Vietnam War. Now on the run from the U.S. Military, they work as mercenaries helping out people in need while also trying to clear their names.<\/p>\n
