Nazis are working with Amazon Jungle Pirates to build a Secret Nuclear Reactor at “The Bend in the River!” No seriously, I’m not clever enough to make that up.

This is what we’d call one of those High Concept episodes–you know, where someone says “we should do an episode that has, I dunno, like lots of ‘Bullets and Bikinis’ or something.” And so they do. And here we are.

Hey, remember when Murdock did that crazy thing? And how about the time Face ran that scam? And who could forget that time B.A. was on a plane? It’s time for a “Curtain Call.”

“Semi-friendly Persuasion” is a gold mine of one-liners. It’s even got some two and three liners. It’s also unique in that the team completely abstains from violence for the entirety of their employment.

Bad guys hire the B-Team to take out the A-Team. There are some “Deadly Maneuvers.” And most important, Hannibal lights a cigar while an explosion goes off behind him in freeze frame.

What if 24 were written in the 80’s? What if Jack Bauer’s guns never hit anyone? And he could smoke because that was still cool. I imagine rescuing the girl and finding the bomb would be “Harder Than It Looks.”

Come on down to Crazy Radie’s and read yourself a blog post! You’re not gonna believe how crazy “Chopping Spree” is! Yes, Crazy Radie’s blog posts are so crazy, he must be innnn-sane!!

There’s ice in the freezer, and lettuce that we need to keep from spoiling. There’s also sand in the hour glass ’cause “It’s a Desert Out There.” (Don’t look at me, I just write’em).

Do you see that over there, to the left? Yes, that’s a tank. And I don’t mean “tank” like the way I tend to use it on this A-Team blog. I mean TANK. Treads, armor, giant gun. “Say It With Bullets”–TANK bullets!
