Favourite Episode(s) and Why?

Billy · 06-25-2008, 03:16 PM

Gosh this section is looking a bit

, erm, lacking threads;

So what are your favourite episodes (no one has just one... if you do, you're just weird

)

I tend to like most of Season 1 and 2 because I'm an Amy fan...no, really, I am

Season 1 Ultimate Favourites - though I love them all.
Children Of Jamestown
The Rabbit Who Ate Las Vegas
Till Death Do Us Part
Bad Day at Black Rock (have I got that the right way round... the boxset confuses me because the title is wrong?)
Nice Place To Visit

I would actually like Mexican Slayride more... but there's something about Faceman in that I just don't like!

Season 2 - I love them all really - ultimate favs;
The Only Church In Town
Range Rider (double episode and Daniel Running Bear

)
There's Always A Catch (the Wetsuit wins it)
Battle of Bel Air (even though it contains Tawnia)

Then more randomly;

Bounty
Incident At Crystal Lake
Wheel Of Fortune
Judgement Day
Family Reunion
Without Reservations

Oh and I absolutely LOVE The Crystal Skull

Just kidding

Man, that's hard to decide. Obviously, I liked the ones best where Face was prominent

(except Mind Games - that one never, ever happened!

), so I guess you could pick my faves based on the "Face meter".

I also liked the ones that showed the guys as real SF types and not bumbling around so much (so mostly Season 1 and Season 5). I liked the comedic ones, as long as they didn't look like Bob Newhart had switched identities with them

And some I wasn't totally fond of per se - but they had a lot of neat ideas for stories. Even Crystal Skull had some good ones

It's the other way around for the A-Team episode. Bad Day at Black Rock is the actual Spencer Tracy movie the episode title comes from.

Very, very good movie!

I thought I'd got it wrong... the place was Bad Rock wasn't it?

Lucia,

Perdoe-me, mas eu não falo português. Tentarei de traduzir usar este serviço, para os membros aqui que não entende. OK?

Sou alegre ver que Dirk tem ventiladores em Brasil! Boas-vindas.

The Season 5 Trial trilogy will always be my all time favourite, I think, at least as much for sentimental reasons as any others. Those are the episodes I've seen the most.

Other than that:

Without Reservations
Black Day at Bad Rock
Deadly Maneuvers
Children of Jamestown.

I'd watch any episode from seasons 1 and 2 any time ya like. Heck, even the pilot with Fake Face. After that it gets more hit and miss, there's good ones, but ones I'd happily skip through.

Of the more formula ones I think Taxicab Wars is my favourite. It's the perfect "typical" A-Team episode, I think.

But my favourites are always ones that go outside the formula and where the stakes are a little higher for our boys, and especially where they face enemies who are a bit more of a match for them than the ones they deal with most episodes.

Heh, there are several episodes I'd be less happy to watch than Crystal Skull. It's actually no longer even in my bottom three!

I'd rather watch Skull than Mind Games, because at least at no point in Skull do I feel the urge to punch Face in the teeth. And whatever else you might say about Skull, it has a total lack of jetpacks, which has to put it ahead.

I'd rather watch Skull than Blood, Sweat and Cheers. At least Face's hair looks good in Skull. And for all that Skull has Frankie Santana, at least it doesn't have Kid Harmon.

I'd rather watch Skull than The Trouble With Harry, because... aw, heck, do I even have to justfy that?

Billy · 06-30-2008, 07:07 AM

lol! You raise a good point... The Crystal Skull is BAD but not necessarily the worst

I like Trouble With Harry for the comedy factor. I know they are out of character, but it IS fun seeing Murdock and Face get beat up

(now I hope I'm thinking of the right episode). Blood Sweat and Cheers I really need to watch again. I think it does have some good comedy moments, but like you say, it does have Kid Harmon!

Til Death Do Us Part

That's my favourite. Face is so cute in that one!

... and Murdock in a wedding dress.. Priceless!

I watched that one yesterday. I love Face's deer in the headlights expression at his wedding.

sara · 07-03-2008, 10:45 AM

I agree with all the wonderful episodes you mentioned!

Mine is Bounty.. but also Family Reunion.. and The judgement Day of course...
And Under the Currtain (a bit sad).. and The Lone rider rides again..

Well.. I love them all!!

Flash · 07-08-2008, 12:40 PM

Hmmmm, there are so many eps to chose from... Definitely Family Reunion and Without Reservations, those I've watched more often than every other episode.

Range Rider, because I always loved Cowboys

, The only Church in Town - and then most of the other episodes. There are nice scenes and moments in most of them. It's much easier to name the few I don't like, like Crystal Skull and Mind Games.

bibbi · 07-27-2008, 10:28 PM

I like most of the episodes from seasons 1-4. I'm not that keen on the fifth season because of Frankie. To me there are only four members of the A-Team.
I also like Range Rider.

I love the episode Range Rider too..........

Dirk in the Cowboy outfit does it for me........

Sharon · 08-28-2008, 08:45 PM

My favourite episode is from season 4, "there goes the neighbourhood" the one where they are watching the Rock singer and they move to the house in the suburbs. My favourite part is when Dirk is in the back yard discussing fame and how you lose your anniminty....I think they were sending a bit of a message. The price of fame can be scarry and crazy...I believe it is worse now with all the instant information wherever you go.
Have a great day, all!

It's been some time since I last viewed this thread. But I would like to enter some of my favourite episodes as well (as a matter of fact I like all of them)

, the ones that first come to mind are:

Black day at Bad Rock

The bend in the river (nice fight, Face-man!)

Members only

The trouble with Harry

All great fun!
