B.A stands for bad attitude. He is the team's mechanic who takes no guff from anybody, tough on the exterior he has a heart of gold. In many episodes he would be helping troubled children out. In one pivitol episode when Murdock is shot, B.A. shows that he does care for his team mate by telling him not to die. B.A also hates to fly. One of the funnier subplots was watching to see how Hannibal had to trick him onto the airplane by drugging his milk or food. One week they played musical hamburgers as B.A. thought he had Hannibal outsmarted only to pass out from a drugged burger.
In another episode, B.A. is transported in a coffin of all things. This episode was the two parter titled, "Bend In The River," which also costarred Barry Van Dyke of Galactica 1980 fame as Tanya's fiance who is kidnapped by pirates.

Mr. T was given his big acting break by Sylvester Stallone who decided he was the right choice to play Rocky's nemesis in Rocky III, Clubber Lang. Mr T even had his own cartoon for a short time.

Actually that was an inside joke with them team like H.M. standing for howling mad. We did find out that the B really stood for Boscoe. They never got far enough to really say what murdocks intialss realy stood for though I had a good guess. Anyone ever see the A-team cartoon in the 80's?

I was born in 1983, so sorry, I haven't seen them. I also wondered what Murdock's initials meant. What was your guess and why do you think that?
