Oh man. There are several cheesy things that are cringe worthy about the A-Team. And that's before you get into the apparent lack of familiarity with something called 'continuity' on the writers' part. *twitch*
But. In the midst of season four, there's an episode titled 'Uncle Buckle Up'. The Single Worst Episode Of The Entire Show. What in the hell were these people thinking?? The whole thing centers on a drug smuggling operation that uses cute little stuffed animals from a kids' TV show to bring their goodies in. Uh-huh. Like whatever happened to customs inspections?
The music of the fake kids' show is enough to make one want to listen to nails on a chalkboard. Or the music from 'Barney'. It would certainly sound better. And the fact that they made certain to play it for each segment after a commercial break makes it oh-so-much-better. Not.
Oh look, the team is locked up in warehouse full of toys. Surely, we can find something to make explosive out of this. Even using the powder from toy rockets, there's no fraggin' way they had enough to blow up a car. My button for suspension of disbelief just refuses to work for this one. (and seriously? who the heck gives rockets with actual explosive capability to kids? I wouldn’t. I like my house in one piece, kthanx.)
Hannibal actually attempting to act like a bear makes me headdesk violently. Just. No. There’s none of the usual banter between Murdock and BA, no grand scams from Face and not even a decent convoluted plan. This episode could’ve gone for anything but the A-Team. Actually, no. It would have been better if the script never made it to anywhere but file 13. *shudder*
