The A-Team was always "fluff" to me. I don't think I paid it very mych attention when it was on and I didn't worry if I missed it.

I loved the show when I first watched it. And I still think it has some things to offer; Murdock is hilarious, even today. Some things get old really quickly, but Murdock is not one of them. His hilarious lines and his terrific delivery make it really amusing.

BA really was neglected as a character. Some of the fanfic has him spouting really insightful dialogue, but in his own trademark way. It's actually making me (grudgingly) kind of like him a lot more. I mean, I did like him, but this is even better.
