The original series focused on four Vietnam vets wanted by military authorities for a crime they didn’t commit. As the show’s opening reminded us every week-<\/p>\n

These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire… The A-Team.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A target for some watchdog groups for its over the top violence, no one on The A-Team<\/em> ever seemed to actually get hurt amidst all the gun play. Reports are that this new version, being overseen by original series producer Stephen J. Cannell, will be in a more serious vein than the original and the team’s background will be updated from being Vietnam vets to Gulf War vets.<\/p>\n
