The A-Team (season 4)

Travelling to Italy to rescue a judge's daughter from a group of mobsters, the A-Team runs into trouble when they find that the mobsters are quite well prepared on their own territory. Meanwhile, Col. Decker is once again hot on the trail of the team. After The A-Team complete their mission they are followed by the criminals who they rescued the judge's daughter from. They must hold them off till they reach the shores of America, and keep the boat intact while doing so.

Originally shown as a feature-length episode, this was later cut into two separate episodes in syndication.

Chicago building plans are put on hold as the A-Team defends B.A.'s mother against the new building management. It turns out a developer had been purchasing buildings in the names of people in retirement homes, and had been hiring rude and ignorant thugs to drive the people out with their antics. The A-Team turn the tables on the developer by bringing an elderly man whose name was used to buy the apartment building Mrs. Baracus lives, and exposing him as a crook. At the end, Murdock has accumulated numerous facts and stories about B.A. from his mother, which he has completely memorised to use in future situations.

Rick James asks the A-Team to help old rock-and-roll legend C.J. Mack whose life in prison has suddenly become very dangerous.

Hulk Hogan asks his old friend B.A. for the A-Team's help against a mobster who is out to close down the youth center he's financing for no apparent reason. As it turns out, the mobster's father had robbed a gold truck in 1958 and the gold was buried under the ground the youth center is built on. Ironically, the gold is in the last place they would expect to find it - the chimney.

The A-Team is called upon to help a family friend survive his dream of automobile racing. However, in high school, his father and Hannibal were rivals over the family friend's mother.

The A-Team rents a home in a quiet suburban neighborhood while protecting a famous rock starlet. They ruffle the feathers of the local neighborhood watch block captain, an international drug syndicate, and show business moguls. In the end, the A-Team is able to rally the neighborhood watch into helping them with having the moguls and syndicate fight each other; they leave the crooks tied up for the authorities.

Guest Stars:

In keeping with the increase in guest stars this season, the rock singer was planned to be played by Cyndi Lauper (Valerie Stevenson played the role).

Hannibal is on holiday in Rio whilst Face and B.A. search for Murdock.

Face joins a trendy country club (The Beverly Bay), only to find there is a counterfeit money operation on the premises.

Face books Boy George instead of Cowboy George, to sing at a country and western bar near an oil pipeline; to keep the locals happy, Hannibal pretends to be Cowboy George. Boy George assists the team.

Guest Stars:

Special Guest Star: Boy George as himself. (Amusingly, the end credits - accompanied by "Karma Chameleon" rather than the series' theme music - list each individual member of Culture Club as playing "Culture Club," e.g. "Jon Moss as Culture Club.")
