"The A Team" premieres 1983

The A-Team, an action television show about a group of Vietnam vets that are on the lam, premiered January 23, 1983.  Over its five seasons, it had plenty of car chases, car crashes, explosions, and shoot-outs for any action buff.  The first episode, Mexican Slayride, starred George Peppard as Hannibal Smith, Dwight Shultz as Murdock, and Mr. T as B.A. Baracus.  Tim Dunigan appeared as Templeton "Faceman" Peck, but was replaced by Dirk Benedict.  

It was nominated for three Primetime Emmy awards for sound editing or sound mixing.

The show was never loved by critics but audiences loved it and made it a huge success.

Happy birthday, Dyna Girl!

Judy Strangis, known to us 70's kids as Dyna Girl, was born December 23, 1949 in Los Angeles, California.  She starred with Diedre Hall as the female superhero duo Electro Woman and Dyna Girl, a cheesey but entertaining Saturday morning show. 

Strangis also appeared in episodes of the Twilight Zone, Bewitched, and the A-Team.  She stopped work in front of the camera after someone began stalking her.  She focused on doing voice-overs.
