This review is from: A-Team: The Fifth & Final Season (DVD)
Why was this "New Joysey" moron on the last season of the "A" team, I don't think they needed him and all he did was stink the place up. Every episode he was either an expert on any subject or god's gift to women, and basically he was just annoying!!

Crash and Burn,
By Jas Robinson (NB, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A-Team: The Fifth & Final Season (DVD)
Don't get me wrong, I love the A-Team. But season five was to the A-Team what AfterMASH was to MASH and The Golden Palace was to the Golden Girls. It was familiar faces thrown together with spotlight hogging new leads that fans of the original cast couldn't stand, in situations that were straining and failing to be both appealing to a new audience and familiar to the old one. Was is really anyone surprise when it flopped as hard as it did?When I first saw this on TV, the first two and a half episodes and Murdock's part in them blew me away. It was a perfect set-up for one hell of a last season, clearing their names in proper A-Team style (i.e. explosions and machine guns). Instead... I have no words how how terrible a set-up that last half an episode turned out to be. I'd been so used to one episode characters that the punch in the face when I realized the terminally annoying Frankie would be staying nearly put me off the show for good. If only I hadn't been stubborn enough to keep watching in case the season got better. Personally, I've already bought the first four seasons. I refuse to admit this one is even canon.

Better than given credit, but not up to the other seasons,
By Sparky - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A-Team: The Fifth & Final Season (DVD)
Season Five of The A-Team often gets bashed, and to some degree it's warranted. The A-Team joining forces with General Stockwell holding them by the leash was awful since it never went anywhere. These guys are suppose to be soldiers of fortune, outlaws for hire who play by their own rules, and now they're being controlled by someone else. Then they added in Frankie Santana and forced him into a more prominent role than some other Team members. I could see Frankie in an Amy or Tonya recurring role, but he got too much attention for my tastes. The Simpsons once spoofed the fact that TV shows tend to add in new characters when they're desparate and that's exactly how Frankie and Stockwell came off.To top it off, some of the stories were awful and the production quality was horrible. I know the production continuity wasn't perfect by any means during the other seasons, but it just seemed like they started to give up altogether. The final episode, The Grey Team, was down right awful. Come on, you got Frankie and B.A. running scared of a bunch of old folks? B.A.?! Watch the part where the car goes flying through the air then it cuts to a shot of the car dropping straight down. Bad...really bad production. But for all the negatives, there were positives. While some of the stories were bad, I thought some were excellent, too. The opening threesome of The A-Team's capture, trial, and escape was very well done. The episode where Face learns about his dying father and his sister is another one I liked. It's that kind of character development, learning more about their backgrounds and tying up loose ends that really lacked in the first four seasons, and that was very refreshing to see. All in all, it was obvious they made a change of direction during Season Five and that they were desparate to make something work. Unfortunately, there were too many issues from stories to production quality that made this season less than memorable. It still had it's moments and it had some good character development as well, but the addition of Stockwell and Frankie definitely made it a different cup of tea that not all A-Team fans appreciated. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful

AN O.K. FINISH!,
By Steven Hancock - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A-Team: The Fifth & Final Season (DVD)
With "The A-Team: Season Five - The Final Season" on DVD, you can enjoy the final thirteen episodes of one of television's greatest action shows. However, this was definitely the worst season of the show. This doesn't mean that the final season is horrible, but it's nowhere near as good as it had been in previous seasons. The format of the final season is drastically different. The tone of the show is dark this time around, and even the humor cannot hide this fact. Even the season's best episode, "The Say U.N.C.L.E. Affair," is very dark, and has one of the few instances of a character actually dying ON camera.The whole idea of the A-Team working for a top-secret organization within the U.S. government never really works. The Stockwell character is useless for the most part, and Frankie Santana is one of the most annoying characters I've ever seen on a T.V. show. But still, there were some good episodes, such as "Trial by Fire" (which features one of the greatest Murdock moments ever), the aforementioned "Say U.N.C.L.E. Affair," and the exciting, hilarious penultimate episode of the show, "The Grey Team." Overall, this was a decent ending to one of television's greatest shows. Fans of the show will enjoy it.

The Last Year of a Classic,
By William F. Worth, Jr. "Superman fanatic" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A-Team: The Fifth & Final Season (DVD)
While not as good as the first couple of years, the A-Team went out with their heads held high. They ended the series on a high with the pardons and the end of the business with the goofy spy. The only complaint is that the episodes are on the DVD as they were aired, with the last two out of the proper order. At least with a DVD they can be viewed in the correct order.
