1. AM I THE ONLY A-TEAM FAN LEFT ON THE PLANET?
Absolutely not! If you were, there very likely wouldn't be this FAQ list here now, would there? There are MANY A-Team fans today, some who have been fans since the show first aired, some who discovered it in syndication over the past few years; also many people from countries around the world where the show still airs regularly today or did in the past.
2. OKAY. SO WHERE ARE THESE A-TEAM FANS?
With the disappearing of the On The Jazz newsletter, the "Unofficial A-Team Resource" by Craig Robertson and the A-Team Shrine by Collin Hannah, I'm trying to fill that void with a new A-Team Resource Page. See my German page that exists since 2001: http://www.ateamresource.de.
3. WHERE CAN I FIND THE "ONTHEJAZZ" NEWSLETTER ARCHIVES?
On this page.
4. CAN YOU PUT SOME A-TEAM SOUND FILES AND MOVIES ON YOUR WEB PAGE?
Soundfiles: here
Videos: hier and here (German)
5. WHERE IS "THE A-TEAM" AIRING TODAY?
That's a good question. Syndication schedules tend to change very frequently and unpredictably. Usually a station buys the rights to air a given program for a fixed number of times in a fixed time period. When that time is up, they have to renew the rights to air the show again. Your best checking your local TV guides or checking with the On The Jazz discussion list.
6. WHERE CAN I GET A-TEAM VIDEO TAPES/DVD's?
Look here.
7. WHERE CAN I FIND A-TEAM MERCHANDISE?
Check ebay and tvtoys.

10. WHERE CAN I FIND THE A-TEAM SOUNDTRACK CD?
Visit this page.
11. WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH FANZINES? WHERE CAN I GET THEM?
If you're asking about this, then you've probably dropped by the A-Team Fan Fiction and 'Zine Index at: http://www.ateamfanfic.org or heard mention of the topic on the mailing list. Media fanzines are amateur-produced publications devoted to providing information and original fiction based on television and film shows and characters. There have been more than a few A-Team fanzines produced over the years (albeit mainly in the eighties, and predominantly from the UK) and many A-Team stories that have appeared in multi-media 'zines.
Where can you find them today? Most of the old 'zines are out of print, so your best shot is to buy them used at conventions or through collectors. Some 'zines may be available in reprints currently, as indicated in the fanzine index.
12. What is the title of the song one can hear in episode xy?
Thise page provides an overview.
