The Walking Dead is just sheer brilliance. I even liked series 2 which went off the boil.

I can't wait for the finale on Friday, the Governer is just an absolute ****, Michone is just a ninja assasin, whilst Darryl is just one of THE greatest characters ever in TV history. It would be a travesty if TWD didn't make the next round, as even with rose tinted glasses, the A-Team is pony.
 
I had to think real hard about this one. I decided TWD in the end as I'm really into it at the moment, and The A Team I don't even watch the re-runs as it has aged to the point that I can no longer enjoy it like I did when I was a boy.

Sometimes you have to step out of the past.

I loved The A-Team as a boy, but made the mistake of watching an episode a few years ago. It hasn't aged well at all.

Still voted for it though.
 
Amazing show. Explosions, bombs, machine guns but no one ever got killed. the A Team all the way for me.
 
Difficult. Loved A Team as a boy, but it hasn't aged well. But gave up with TWD after first series as it didn't seem to be offering anything new. So on the grounds that A Team is still being ground out, but I suspect TWD wont see much Dave action, I shall vote A Team.
 
I must say I chose the A team as the walking dead was already taken! I love both shows but the A team has a certain nostalgia value from my youth and it was such a cool programme. The cast were just perfect, 4 amazingly different characters who had an awesome chemistry on screen. The stunts, the music, the humour, all made it a wonderful show. Has been described as a live action cartoon and I think that is apt. Also led to some great toys which I had as a kid, the iconic A team van being a staple of many an 80s kids toy collection.

Yes it was corny at times and often formulaic but it was damn good entertainment, not having to resort to explicit language or sex to spice it up. It also didnt outstay its welcome, 5 seasons of tip top tv!

Oh and one of the greatest theme tunes ever back in the day when drama's actually had proper theme tunes!
