I saw an interview with Dirk Benedict and he was talking about the A-Team. He jokingly said, "Sorry, George. They were there for Mr. T," in reference to Mr. T stealing the show.
Incidentally, the A-Team was the first show from my childhood I noticed had aged poorly. It ran until 1987, but I stopped watching around 1985, and sometime in the early 1990s I happened to catch an episode in re-run and couldn't believe how bad the show really was. At the ripe old age of 14 or 15. Knight Rider is the second show I realized was bad.
