"A-Team" Hits Theaters & DVD Shelves This Week

It's A-Team week, with the complete season now out on DVD and the feature film coming out tomorrow. The original series found the team of freelance soldiers-of-fortune succeeding in mission after mission from 1983-87 and landing in the top ten of the year-end Nielsens for its first two seasons.

Series creator Stephen J. Cannel talks about the genesis of The A-Team, from a seed idea of NBC executive Brandon Tartikoff in his Archive of American Television interview (see The A-Team under "shows discussed in this interview").
