Hopefully someone will clarify soon. It’s been confirmed that Murdoch singing Satisfaction in A Small and Deadly War is present, as it was on the UK set.
I don’t hold out much hope that the music edits on the UK set have been presented correctly but I guess we have to wait and see if someone confirms.

MeTV has started airing The A-Team every weekday, and unfortunately the episodes are all missing their teasers.

I think, sadly, that’s the case with pretty much all broadcasts or streaming these days.

I’ve just completed reconstructing another two season 3 trailers. 16 down, 8 to go 😊

I hope I can keep up the enthusiasm to work through season 2!

On the bright side, though, the other night they left in Murdoch singing various Beach Boys songs!

here’s the info I got regarding the US set:

“Jumpin’ Jack Flash” and “Cheeseburger In Paradise” are missing.

“The Heat Is On” is present, but it’s a cover version. Definitely not Glenn Frey’s original. Don’t know if that’s how it was originally or not.

While B.A. is trying on the clothes it uses the replacement music

And Hannibal’s line in “Range Rider” is fully intact.

As for the teasers, supposedly the reason why they’re missing is because the film elements for them were destroyed in the Universal vault fire

I think we’re partaking in the same discussion in the Blu-ray forum 😃

I think it’s a virtual certainty all the releases are using the same masters.

7 teasers left to go for season 3. Pausing for a week or so as it’s so hot here in the UK and I don’t want to overheat the PC!

Interesting little tit bit for those in the UK, went on Amazon Prime and found the A Team season 1 & 2 classed as Freevee with ads, but the episodes have the teasers, but interesting the pilot is cut into 2 parts with fake season one music intro with the alternate face in the credits so like the HD broadcasts but it has music replacement but jumping jack flash scene cut slightly different couple of seconds of the plane getting ready to take off but still music replaced, but whole season 1 and 2 have teasers so type of hybrid but afraid in SD format with adverts. There is also an option to buy in SD along with S3

Ooh that’s very interesting! I might have to check them out to see how the quality of the s2 teasers compares to the ones I have currently. I think you kindly shared them with me a while back.

Out of interest do you still have the DVDs those teasers came from?

Just checking with tv and spain dvds I have (the first release from 200x) .

-Jumpin flash in tv is broadcasted but cut. As people tell murdock don’t make yahoo!.I think it’s the syndicated version,because are divided in two parts and they cut all the part where they take off and take out b.a from the plane.

In the dvds the music was changed,murdock make the yahoo but don’t singing.(but more later he signging something until annibal interrupt it).

-Small and Deadly War
In tv(syndicated version) Murdock singing,but is not dubbed into Spanish.(as Mexican slyride from dvd have the original spanish dubbed audio from 1985) . I think is not dubbed because don’t exist on the no syndicated version.

In the DVD that part its cut.

DVD only (the broadcast its now in season 1).

-When You Comin’ Back, Range Rider?’ it’s the uncut version.
And the Hannibal speak all the phrase. No cuts here.

-Cup A’ Joe’

The hamburger song is there(in spanish/English track) 😃.

-Beverly Hills Assault
The heat song is there, but only in the Spanish track. In the v.o(english) is changed by another generic song.

Dedicated Follower of Fashion.

It’s there but only in the Spanish track. The English track have the song changed.

The dvds don’t have teasers I think. But I think I have recorded in a VHS varius chapter emitted in the 2000. I don’t remember if they have teasers but, if the do it should be in spanish

Thanks to new member Tic, I now have a better quality version of the Cheeseburger In Paradise song from Cup A Joe. I will use this to make a better HD version than is currently on the organ site.

Aside from that I have finally finished reconstructing all the teasers from season 3. I’m now working on season 2 which will have a better result. For the odd scenes in season 3 that didn’t appear in the episode, I upscaled the scenes from the DVD teaser. This wasn’t terrible but there was a noticeable drop in quality where they occurred.
For season 2 I am collaborating with a friend who owns Topaz AI. This is being used as a source for the clips that aren’t in the episode and is much closer to true HD.

I may at some point have another go at Mexican Slayride. It would be interesting to see how well Topaz could upscale VHS!

Can’t wait to see them, I just overlaid cheese burger song into the scene in HD I simply placed in on the cue from your version on the organ so no drop in quality or sound, you can get the song from you tube

Yes, I remember you saying you’d done that. Clever idea! I think I’ll stick with this new version from DVD to be 100% authentic.

In 2x01 when a-team arrive to the country and they are in the car. Anibal tell murdock you scare the animals. But murdock it’s in silence…

Happy 40th aniversary to A-team.

Just question how are broadcasted a A-team in your countrys the first years And now?.

For example in my old VHS from 2002 i record from TV the uncut versión of double episodes.But today was broadcasted the syndicated version in Tv cutted.

Back in the 2000 the pilot was don’t aired. But was broadcasted in the 80/90.

Some teasers i have recorded in 2002 are mising in the DVDs.

Well really univeral block all teasers in the DVDs

Looks like Turbine got the rights to this so I guess this is getting the knight rider treatment as well. if only quantum leap would as well so the trilogy would not only have it full length restored and what ever other episodes might be missing footage but color correction for the whole series. Plus any audio quality issues that might be there if any at all corrected.

From digital bits Take for what you will.

Also today, our friends at Turbine Medien GmbH have revealed that they’re working on a new Blu-ray Complete Series box set release of the classic 1980s NBC TV series The A-Team.

That’s really good to know, thanks.

I’ll hold fire on doing any more work on teaser reconstructions until we know what this is going to look like.

I wonder if they will be able to find the Jumpin Jack Flash scene in HD. If they can’t it would be nice if they could include the missing scene as an extra from the VHS.

We found a copy of jumping Jack flash but i don’t have comment it to you because don’t was usseful. Its a record prom a spanish paid Channel back in the 90.its in spanish, and they have the bigger bigger logo of the Channel.And the capture is analogic don’t hd,so don’t very usseful for reconstruct purpusues.Mostly to us to have the dubbed track in spanish.

Yes I have a good VHS capture of the scene from the UK VHS release. The only way it will be improved on is with a digital recording

Well, for the A-Team, the mail address is in the text above. As for Quantum Leap, I’m not sure they’re doing that series (or have rights to it).
