They’ll love it, if the plan comes together

This one is definitely a bit strange, even by television standards, but a British Television producer is hoping to reunite the surviving cast members of the A Team, with their former leader George Peppard, who portrayed Colonel Hannibal Smith.

Peppard died in 1994 from complications from pneumonia, and if all goes according to plan, he will get caught up with his old buddies Mr. T, Dirk Benedict and Dwight Schultz who all starred with Peppard on the hit television show of the eighties.

The three appear on Most Haunted a television show that examines the paranormal and it appears wants to work as a kind of reunion show for the dearly departed.

It airs in Canada on the W Network, which very well may be marking the first time that this much potential testosterone has been aired in one show ever!

In the world of TV, nothing is too out there.

That's why I barely blinked when I found out that British paranormal show Most Haunted has gotten the remaining cast of The A-Team together so they can attempt to communicate with their dead co-star, George Peppard.

Dirk Benedict, Mr. T and Dwight Schultz, who appeared with Peppard in the '80s series, reunited in Los Angeles for a special episode of Most Haunted, which travels the world visiting frightful places in an attempt to gain solid evidence about the existence of ghosts. Most Haunted airs on the W Network in Canada.

Peppard died of pneumonia in 1994 at the age of 66.

"It took a lot of doing to get these three together - now we have to do the really hard part," Most Haunted host Yvette Fielding says, presumably with a straight face.

Peppard played Colonel John "Hannibal" Smith, the cigar-chomping leader of a ragtag group of former military vets who take down criminals who are "above the law."

If this works, expect the remaining cast of Gilligan's Island to reunite and attempt to contact Alan Hale Jr. and Jim Backus.
