A fellow named Colin, who runs a U.K.-based website called "The A-Team Shrine", put up a post there that Universal was looking into plans to release The A-Team - Season 1 onto DVD:

Looks like there *will* be a release of season boxsets for The A-Team, although this may be restricted to America. I got an e-mail from a guy at Universal (America) this morning, which started:

Colin,

I am coordinating resources for the release of "The A Team" Season One for Universal. I have a question about some interviews I am putting together:

This looks good. The guy actually answered his own question a moment later by looking around the site, but I think I might e-mail him anyway... just to find out a little more information/ point him in the right direction.

Yeah!!

We realize that this is *very* thin info to go on, and we don't even have proof that this person who wrote to Colin is who they say they are. If true, though, then this is great news, and surely this - along with recent Quantum Leap news - bodes well for Universal getting back-on-track with TV-to-DVD releases in the aftermath of their merger with NBC.

Stay tuned, because we'll be right on top of this story as more information surfaces.

This is obviously a rumor and should not be treated as fact until it's official but I thought maybe this would be a great thread to discuss what you guys would think of an A-Team DVD release. Having been a fan of this show since it aired on TV Land, I think it would be awesome, especially if it were a Season-By-Season set.

Specs include a 1.33:1 picture with an English Dolby Digital Mono (2.0) soundtrack and English, French and Spanish captions. No bonus features have been announced, but as we know from the Quantum Leap announcement, that doesn't mean the set won't contain any.

I can't wait for this! I have part of Season 1 on videcassette that I got from Columbia House Video a few years ago, but this is much better.

The same day as Quantum Leap
