Greetings again,
Well we've got a pretty stocked issue this week, I hope
everyone finds it amusing and/or informative. BTW, I assume
no one was able to tape the Perry Mason movie for me this week...?
Well, I guess I'll have to try to catch it on one of the
independent stations down here sometime.
And now for this week's...
A-TEAM SIGHTINGS: In case you missed it (I did myself but
should be getting a video copy soon), Dwight Schultz was
apparently in last week's episode of Weird Science as the
voice/face of a computer. More info to come when I actually
see it (or if anyone else here did see it and cares to
comment).
Also, Mr. T is going to be one of the hosts on a WWF pay-
per-view event that I believe is on tomorrow night (Halloween),
so you've been warned!
I was asked this week about the current value of the A-Team
action figures released way back when the show was still on. I don't
know how much they're worth, does anyone out there have that info? I
would also be interested in knowing what other collectibles are out
there and what they might be worth.
The third season episode list follows. It is missing some
of the episode titles and writer/director info, so if anyone has
this info readily available, it would be appreciated. I'm catching
most of these in Philly tv syndication right now and am trying to
update the episode guide, but it might take a while.
Speaking of syndication, what other stations around the
country or elsewhere are currently playing the show? I know Channel
9 in New York (WOR) does on Saturdays and Sundays, but not on a
very regular schedule (like one weekend it's on Saturday, the next it's
on Sunday, the week after that it's two episodes in a row, etc...)
Philly Channel 17 (PHL) shows it Mon-Fri at 1 pm, one of the great
things about this town :-)
Well anyway, Happy Holloween!

I am a HUGE Dwight Schultz fan, and I have a few more additions to
the list of his tv and movie additions.
theatrical movies:
"The Long Walk Home" : This was an excellent movie that I had to go
all the way to Boston to see because it wasn't widely released. I
believe it is now on video, though. He plays the husband of a
woman played by Sissy Spacick (sp?). His wife supports their black
maid's boycott of the busses and other public transportation in the 1960's
south
He disagrees with her and the movie has a very exciting climax.
Whoopie Goldberg is also in it.
tv movies:
"A killer among us": He stars with Jasmine Guy. They are both jurors
in a murder trial, and he is the foreman. Guy suspects him of being
the real killer, and tries to prove it after they come to a hung jury
decision. This origionally came out a few years ago, but was on tv\
in the Boston area recently.
"Perry Mason: The Case of the Sinister Spirit" I don't remember the
exact plot, but it was set in a haunted mansion.
tv shows:
I remember a few years back there being a tv show called "Lifestories"
possibly. Anyway, Dwight played a elementary school principal. He
and his wife were having trouble having children. The show changed
every week, so he was only in one episode. It was soon cancelled,
and I haven't seen it in reruns.
__________________________________________________________________
BTW, my personal favorite A-Team episodes are: The one where Murdock
gets shot; and the one where they are trying to help a dying man
reunite with his daughter during Thanksgiving and Face finds ou
out that the man is his father, too.

Thanks for the extra info. I really liked those episodes too. In
"Family Reunion" (the one with Face's father), there's that really
great intense scene after the guy dies and Murdock tells Face that he
might have been his father. Whew! Incidentally, did the alternate
ending (where the guy WASN'T his father) ever air anywhere? I
remember voting in the phone poll when that one first aired :-)

Dwight Scultz also did another Perry Mason movie in 1989 titled "The Case of
the Musical Murder. I don't get TBS here at the University of Missouri, but
can
get some to tape them for me. Keep your eyes open for the other Perry Mason.
Also, Dwight Scultz recently did a TV Movie in 1994 titled "Menendez: A
Killing
in Beverly Hills". He has a small part in it, but I would like to get my
hands
on a copy if anyone has one. On a closing note, one of my favorite guest
stars
on the A-Team, Lance Legault, had a role on the Knight Rider pilot that aired
on USA Monday and Tuesday. He played a hitman.

Hi Nicole,
I haven't had a chance to read the newsletters you ssent me
yet, but I want to thank you for sending them to me and for putting
me on your mailing list.
Also, I have some input for the digest. I know I asked you
this before, but I don't know if you put it in the digest yet. But,
I would like any information on the A-Team van(i.e. specifications,
year, accessories, colorscheme, etc.) It seems that I though the
colors were only black and red, but in an episode I saw the other
day it looked like the top half was a dark gray, then the red stripe
and then black on the bottom. Anyway, any information on the van
would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot,
-Travis

Does anybody remember the episode of the old show "Silver Spoons" where
Mr. T. appears as Ricky's bodyguard? I can't quite recall all the details of
the show, but I know I laughed <really> hard during one scene in Ricky's
classroom. T was sitting in a desk surrounded by students when, I think,
the teacher asked him who he was. His reply was priceless:
"First name: Mister, middle name: dat period, last name: Tee!!"

Hello one and all!!!!
I just have to say that I just finished watching the first movie with one of
the actors of the A-Team: Breakfast at Tiffany's. Wow! So, I wanted to ask
about what people knew about George Peppard. And, while I'm at it, how does
the
series end? I've seen part of the last season, but I don't know how it ends.
Thanks in advance!
I always get a kick out of the recycling of characters in the show.
Especially
when they sometimes play good guys, and at others, bad. Like the sheriff in
Black Day at Badrock. For some unknown reason, it strikes me ticklingly. (new
word!!)
It's neat to see the progression of the team as a "team." They get much more
comfortable in there characters, and in relationship to the others.
I'm sorry to go back to this again, but the Peppards, old and young, look so
different! But they are a lot alike, too. I guess I'm just not used to seeing
such a big difference. (It's really too bad he's dead :-)
Well, I'm off to sit and veg in front of my tv and watch ... ta da!...
A-Team!

Ed. comments...
The recylcing bad & good guys is pretty funny. There's an idea for a
FAQ-type
list--actors which appeared repeatedly in different roles. A couple that I
always found amusing:
-> Jack Ging, who ended up playing General Fullbright in the 4th season, was
a
bad guy in "Bad Day at the Border", and I think he was in one or two other
early episodes as bad guys too but I'm not sure.
-> Michael Baseleon, who played mobster Crazy Tommy T in "Steel", came back
as another mobster (Tony something) in "Double Heat." Guess the guy just
has the market cornered on mobsters.
