What are the suck to rule odds on this one? Gotta be real high.
I beg to differ....... C'mon it's gonna have Jessica in it! 
At first I thought you meant Jessica Simpson. She can't act her way out of a paper bag. Whew. I would think Ving Rhames or Micheal Clark Duncan would be a better B.A. And (begrudgingly) Jim Carrey would make an excellent Murdock.
This can't go well. A-Team was a great show, don't screw with it like this...
The A-Team was a terrible show, but it was so cheerful and rediculous that it was a ton of fun to watch anyway. There's no way this is going to be able to do that justice.
Also, I GUARENTEE that the plot of this will involve the A-Team getting strong-armed by the U.S. government into fighting "terrorists" for them, and then eventually being cleared and becoming Fine Upstanding Voting Citizens. Can't have outlaws being the good guys anymore, nope nope. And the iconic GMC custom van will be replaced with something you can buy right out of the showroom today, with much manufactured fanfare about this (payed for by sponsorship dollars naturally.) Ugh.
Please don't mess with my happy childhood.

Fixed.
I can't think of a single TV-to-movie remake that has come out well, but Hollywood keeps doing it anyway.

Blues Brothers, Waynes World were both from SNL, along with other movies that didn't turn out nearly as good, Arguably The Simpsons movie (wasn't a bad movie, IMHO), Star Trek, arguably Batman (although that was from a comic book first), all the Monty Pythons, and then the Jackass movies delivered exactly what they promised.
You can watch original episodes of the A-Team on Hulu.

office space is a spinoff of an SNL cartoon short, "Milton"
"Coneheads" came from SNL as well.
I neglected to include Coneheads cause the movie didn't live up to the skit. And the cartoon Milton actually was released before SNL

Tim Burton's Batman took an entirely different take (more like the comic), but if you remember *way* back, there was a Batman movie with the cast of the TV version. I was speaking more of remakes like Beverly Hillbillies, Dukes of Hazard, etc.NYG95GA wrote: I can't think of a single TV-to-movie remake that has come out well, but Hollywood keeps doing it anyway.Blues Brothers, Waynes World were both from SNL, along with other movies that didn't turn out nearly as good, Arguably The Simpsons movie (wasn't a bad movie, IMHO), Star Trek, arguably Batman (although that was from a comic book first), all the Monty Pythons, and then the Jackass movies delivered exactly what they promised.

If it's an Odyssey can I burn down Hollywood?

Yes, but I'm guessing it's going to be an Escalade. In which case we'd better both stock up on gasoline.

It can happen when the right people are involved and the right respect is given to the source material. Here's an excellent example.

Did you know, JG, that in real life, Don Johnson was picked up in Germany on the road to the Swiss border carrying a suitcase with somewhere around 7 Billion dollars worth of cash and cash equivalent securities in it about 4-5 years ago?

What I heard was that most of the documents he was carrying were mostly bank statements and evidence of transactions, not negotiable securities, and that the German press blew things way out of proportion with a money laundering allegation.
Still, I like to think that he was in too deep, and he didn't know what was real anymore. And I hope someone turned to someone else just before they searched that Mercedes and quietly whispered "It's goin' down."

I never saw a followup on Mr. Johnson's European Adventures. So was it like only 1 billion GB Pounds worth of cash instead of the 5 billion originally reported? Chump change then, and no story.
Maybe Crockett won the Nigerian Lottery?
They never pressed charges.

I thought the Dukes movie was berkeleying awesome...then again, I wasn't expecting some cerebral comedic masterpiece where everyone spoke with british accents and I snapped my fingers and cried in my $5 half-caff macchiato at the end.

"cerebral comedic masterpiece where everyone spoke with british accents".....Shawn of the Dead!
So, Mr. Johnson was riding shotgun then? Did they ever mention who the other passenger was? Although the very brief article I saw years ago quoted Mr. Johnson as saying something like "You're not going to tell the IRS about this are you?" as some of the stuff was in his name.
Dukes of Hazard move was good. As good as the show anyway, but I was never a fan of the show.

Really? Really? I thought it sucked the chrome off trailer hitches. Since when is Cooter cleaner than the Duke boys? Daisy was arguably the smartest one on the TV show, yet Jessica Simpson turns her into a bimbo (natch). Maybe I wanted too much from it.
