AN INTRODUCTION

SECTION 0: INTRODUCTION

Revised: March 27, 1998
  
A-Team fandom has made a big comeback in the past few years, thanks to the
internet, thanks to stations like fX rebroadcasting the show after years of
absense on the airwaves, and thanks no doubt to a sudden wave of 80s
nostalgia. Ever since putting together an A-Team web page, somewhere about
2 or 3 years ago now, I've seen the same questions asked again and again,
so this FAQ has grown out of those questions--with the help of many other
fans who have provided information and references.

Besides the obvious questions and information, it's tricky figuring out
exactly what needs to be included in a document such as this: what information
fits and what doesn't.  Where thoroughly-detailed lists and databases
already exist and are readily available (such as an episode guide,  acting
credits, etc.), I have only provided an outline of that material here; it is
up to the reader to research these areas through other avenues as necessary,
follow the links provided...otherwise this document would be 3 times as huge
as it already is!

Comments, suggestions, information, corrections, and new questions are
always welcome.  Please contact me at  sockii@earthlink.net
with your opinions. I have a pretty hectic schedule these days and receive
tons of email, so I may not be able to get back to you quickly...but I will
try.

The information contained within this document is accurate
to the best of my knowledge but sometimes contradictory information, especially
biographical, exists in the reference material I have used.

I've been a little lax updating this in the past year, and am currently working
on some revisions as have been suggested, and also adding some new questions
and information.
