Fans remember the A-Team's origin, but how many remember this epic two-parter where the characters (and the show itself) faced a fateful crossroads? Editor-Podcaster Bill Scurry looks back at his favorite episode of the series, while breaking down the formula for the show's success and how NBC felt about its status as a ratings hit and a symbol of politicized anti-prestige TV.

MY FAVORITE EPISODE is a new web-series from the makers of BEHIND THE BACKDOOR PILOT, a deep dive into standout works of TV and the behind-the-scenes stories that shaped them.
