Riptide was for the discerning PI fan whereas A-Team was for moronic, mindless action-junkies infatuated with Mr.

 MILESAGO - Media - Television - "Riptide"
Riptide was created by expatriate Australian writer Michael Noonan, from an idea by the program's executive producer, Guy V. Thayer Jr, President and General Manager of Trans Pacific Enterprises.
Riptide premiered on 6 February 1969 and rated strongly in Sydney, Brisbane and Adelaide, but was less popular in Melbourne, where Homicide still ruled the roost.
The main hope was securing overseas sales, but unfortunately the critical sale to American TV never eventuated, and although it was sold to Britain it did not rate well there, so plans for a second series were scrapped.
