2.1 Diamonds And Dust (Written: Patrick Hasburgh; Directed: Ron Satlof)

My Comments:
The first episode of season 2 does not disappoint. The team head to Africa to help a woman who's father was killed because the mine he was running contained diamonds. The A-Team try to get dynamite to the mine and are pursued by the enemies. A good episode.

My Comment:
When Face receives a fraternity pin from his ex-girlfriend he knows that she is in trouble. Again the A-Team head to South America to find out what is wrong. They soon find out that a gang of murderers are holding the women and children in a fort-like place. The A-Team come up with a plan to dispatch of the baddies and save the innocent people held captive. Very good episode.

2.4 Bad Time On The Border (Written: Richard Christian Matheson; Directed: Bruce Kessler)

My Comment:
A good episode. A little girl runs away from the people that are smuggling people over the Mexican border into the USA. B.A. comes across the girl at the day-care center. The team then go to Mexico to stop the smugglers, who are holding the little girls mother. The little girl's mother is also very ill so it is a race against time.

2.5/2.6 When You Comin' Back, Range Rider?(Written: Frank Lupo; Directed: Christian I. Nyby, II)

My Comment:
This is the second of the double A-Team episodes. These double episodes are pretty popular, but in my opinion they are just a bit on the long side! This episode is very good and is similar to the first few season episodes where the cast members look as if they are having great fun. This episode has the A-Team going to help out a native American who is trying to save horses from slaughter by a large ruthless landowner. The A-Team have to travel to their destination using Amy's car as the van is out of order because it was used as a distraction to their getaway from their new pursuor, Colonel Decker. In my opinion this is one of the best 'Decker' episodes. There should have been loads more episodes with Decker pursuing the A-Team as these would have provided great entertainment.

2.7 The Taxi Cab Wars (Written: Stephen J. Cannell; Directed: Gilbert Shilton)

2.19 Chopping Spree (Written: Frank Lupo; Directed: Dennis Donnely)

My Comment:
The A-Team are out to catch some car thieves. They use Face's Corvette as bait, but while they are watching it the thieves steel B.A.'s van (also containing Murdock's plant). B.A. is not too pleased about this and the A-Team set off on the trail of the car thieves. A brilliant episode.

My Comment:
The A-Team are on an easy mission. To rescue a kidnapped girl using the ransom money as bait...but it's "Harder Than It Looks". The ransom is taken, and the girl does not want to leave the kidnappers, and B.A. has to fight a huge guy a few times. A very good episode.

2.22 Semi-Friendly Persausion (Written: Danny Lee Cole; Directed: Craig R. Baxley)

The A-Team are hired by a religious group who don't believe in violence. This religious group are being pushed off their land by a group of people who don't like them. The leader of the religious group tells the A-Team not to use violent means to save their land. As a result the A-Team have to resort to persauading their enemy to give up without using violence.

2.23 Curtain Call (Written: Stephen Katz; Directed: Dennis Donnelly)
