A-Team

GTO said:
Every episode was required to include the following:
1. Some poor townspeople needing help to defend themselves against some bad guys. Did i mention they have no money to pay the ATeam for their services?
2. Murdock displaying a funny quirk (acting like a duck, speaking like he's Irish, acting like a ship captain, or some other nonsense) that only lasts the duration of the episode and gets on BA's nerves.
3. The team having to fly somewhere and needing to knock out BA due to his fear of flying.
4. One of the local girls falling in love with Faceman.
5. Hannibal slowly putting a cigar in his mouth while smiling.
6. Bad guys trap the A Team in a barn or shed full of equipment (including metal planks and welding gear) they can use to build some MadMax-esque machine.
7. Only BA is man enough to weld while Murdock comes to bother him while he works.
8. They bust out of the shed/barn riding said machine which shoots watermelons, pumpkins, ears of corn, or whatever else was available.
9. A grenade will send bad guys flying through the air in slow motion and a car will inevitably go off some ramp and flip through the air as well.
10. Bad guys defeated, Faceman says his goodbyes to his romantic interest for the episode, townsfolk try to pay the A Team in watermelons, pumpkins, ears of corn, oranges, or whatever else they have but Hannibal will refuse.
11. Murdock makes one final joke related to his quirk for this episode, everyone laughs, and they leave town in their van.
12. Military shows up and the townspeople will either not cooperate or give them wrong directions of where the A Team was headed.
13. Roll credits.

This is every episode. Still a fun show, but damn if they REALLY didn't want to fix what was not broken.

Also doesn't at least one the guys in every episode dress in some kind of disguise?

This is completely accurate. Just want to add that WRT #3, they always drugged his milk.

And the guys who wrote the theme song had a ton of stuff you'd know.

Rockford Files
Hunter
Law and Order
Greatest American Hero
Hill Street Blues

Hunter. Now there's an underappreciated masterpiece too

Who wrote the CHiPs theme song that was the best, I used to watch re-runs of that in the summers on TBS.

This was the only one on your list I wasn't very familiar with. My goodness Stepfanie Kramer was a looker.

How much coke must have the show writers been snorting?

Writer 1 “Hey, let’s have Hulk Hogan in this episode running around town in his wrestling outfit”

Writer 2 “wouldn’t he wear street clothes? Nah, **** it”

Writer 1 “ let’s also put Refrigerator Perry in the same episode”

Writer 2 “why, what’s his role?”

Writer 1 “who cares”

The GI Joe cartoons were like this with lasers. I don’t think anyone was ever hit

There was one of the GI Joe shows, I think it was called Renegades, that was a straight up A-team homage.

Add Remington Steele and Simon & Simon to the list.

I just think of how many hours my family actually sat around the TV together and watched stuff. Of course only having 1 or 2 TVs and no video game systems until the late 80's in the house will cause that.

When BA built a hang glider out of what appeared to be 3/4 or 1" conduit, duct tape, and (if I remember right) Visqueen they lost me. It would have been cool if it had fallen apart in mid-air and they barely managed to survive the fall.
