Classic TV Theme: The A-Team (Mike Post & Pete Carpenter)

After leaving ABC, Stephen J Cannell arrived at NBC where he was given his first assignment: The A-Team. Helped by a post-SuperBowl debut the show was ratings hit for three seasons. The erosion started in season four, and they tried to shake up the format in season five by having the team captured only to be forced into working for a general at the CIA. It didn't help and the season ended prematurely with only 13 episodes. The theme, by Mike Post and Pete Carpenter, is one of their best-remembered main titles. You'll see the first and fourth season openings, and the rarely-heard stereo version of season five, plus an end credits roll. Just remember, if you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... the A-Team.
