Romanian TV: The A-Team!

Well in order to ease my pounding headache, I thought I’d watch a little TV.  I haven’t seen much since I’ve lived here since I owned an incredibly old set but a few weeks ago a friend lent me a newer one.

One thing I love about Romania is you never know just what the heck is gonna come on.  And tonight I saw an old episode of the A-Team.  According to the Romanian TV guide (which you can see here if you’re interested), the show I saw tonight aired in 1983.

So, for a complete change of pace from my normal blogging, I will give you an episode recap of a show which hasn’t aired in 23 years.  My apologies if this offends anyone!
