Wow. That sucks. I was a big A-Team fan back in the day.

He actually seemed like a super cool guy. If anyone has seen the Bring Back... episode on the A-Team, he responds really well to being ambushed and he even digs out some old A-Team props including B.A.'s gold chains!

Sad.

If you saw the Biography piece on Selleck he seemed to be a friend and mentor to Tom. Our retro station here in Chicago is paying tribute to him Saturday with a marathon of his shows playing all day..........

Very cool I want a retro station, thats very cool

RIP, sad sad news indeed.

Very sad indeed. I loved The Rockford Files. Does anyone remember the short-lived detective series Tenspeed and Brownshoe? He wrote that also and I thought it was brilliant. Jeff Goldbloom was great as the wide-eyed accountant turned gumshoe with romantic visions of the profession. His partner Ben Vereen was also great as the realist, con-man type. Too bad it didn't even last a full season. I remember at the time liking the show even more than Rockford which had just ended.

Man, I just found about this now. What a shame considering the resurgence of some of the shows he created like the A-Team. I can only hope there will still be talks about a GAH movie or something.
