“I Love It When A Plan Comes Together..."
Of the thousands of TV show remakes to grace screens both big and small in the last decade or so, there have been many successes (Battlestar Galactica) and many failures (The Avengers.) It was of course inevitable that someday we would be blessed with a revival of that 80's classic, the A-Team, those lovable soldiers of fortune (aren't they all?), falsely convicted of a crime they did not commit. Well, that time is now. The worst shots in the history of popular entertainment (except maybe for Imperial Stormtroopers and Major Asshole from Spaceballs) will be hitting the big screen sometime in the next year.
They haven't released who will be playing whom, but certainly I would expect that Mr. T and Dwight Schultz might make a cameo. Dirk Benedict, known for his utter distain of remakes, (read his comments on the new Battlestar Galactica here) might not grace us with his presence. Too bad, he could really use the work. Of course, George Peppard has passed away.
Personally, I think the only A-Team you'll ever need is this.

Wow, I'm really torn by Starbuck's article.
I agree with all of his societal points, but at the same time love Battlestar Galactica.

Well there's that as well.
What I liked was his obsveration about society getting darker and the fact that the BSG reflects that.
You're right though in that he stepped right out of the movie "Anchorman" with his machismo, but that was the time period.

Here's a nice little commentary on the Dirk Benedict article a friend of mine wrote a couple of weeks ago on a message board on the IMDb.
Admittedly, I borrowed a line or two from him in an earlier comment.
