Best part of the A team! Murdock was either totally cracked or an exceptionally gifted actor....thanks to Mr Schultz ability one never could quite figure out which but it was fun trying!

I believe the episode was "Recipe for heavy bread", Murdock running down the road in a white wedding dress screaming "I'M A BIRD I'M A PLANE I'M A CHOO CHOO TRAIN!!!!!".

I have even more respect for him now that I know he was forced to make up his own lines and "side characters" for many episodes in season 1, as they had written him out (producers didn't like him!!), but audience polls showed he was so liked by the audience, that they decided to keep him anyway - only he had no lines!
