Ironically, it wouldn't have been as cheesy if they let some of the henchmen actually DIE.

No kidding. I can't believe anyone ever hired them. 100,000 bullets shot and they cant hit anyone.

Loved "Parker Lewis Can't Lose" - complete rip-off of "Ferris Bueller", but I liked it.

It did happen. Veeeeeeeeeeeeeeery rarely, but it did happen.

I think your wrong. I don't remember one single confirmed death in Any show. In every single firey explosion they made a point to show the people in the vehicles flying out of the vehicle with arms and legs flailing about. It was as cheesy as it gets. But being a young kid I still enjoyed every minute.

Found this on an A-Team website:
DID ANYONE EVER GET KILLED ON "THE A-TEAM"?
As far as actual, on-screen deaths, there was only one, in "The Sound of
Thunder," when General Fulbright was shot and killed (in the same episode the bunker where the Cong general who shot Fulbright was in was blown up, so we can assume he bit the dust as well). Several episodes referred to deaths of characters off-screen either during or usually before the start of the episode (such as, for instance, Ray Brenner's death in "A Nice Place to Visit.")

Also, one of the Mafia bad guys in the episode "The Rabbit That Ate Las Vegas" was seen to fall from a high rise window, presumably to his death, although it wasn't clear if he had been killed before the fall of as a result of it.

I can only say, for certain, that one bad guy definitely was killed directly. I can't remember the specifics, but it sounds like the death referenced below. I remember this because I was like, WTF! Think of my reaction as the baby on the e-trade commercial's when the guy didn't win on the lottery ticket, but without the sarcasm ;)
