I’ve always been a big A Team fan, and still see it as one of the greatest 80s TV shows ever. It was the first ever TV show that gave us war action! Explosions and shoots outs with automatic weapons. That sort of stuff was normally left for the big screen and kids my age were too young to see those movies anyway.
I found the A-Team TV show to be very educational indeed. The things you learnt from that show could help you no matter where you were in life and what you did. You could always escape the cops or the army. You could always break out of prison or any place you happened to be held prisoner. All these crucial skills, I learnt from watching episodes of the A Team.
What I learnt from watching The A-Team:
1. No matter how much gunfire or explosions you cause, you can still capture terrorists and criminals without actually killing any of them.
2. Breaking out a mental patient from a mental hospital is as simple as a quick scam. And you can always return them later on without any repurcussions.
3. American psychiatrists are unable to tell a real crazy person from one who is only pretending to be crazy.
4. You can drive around in the same big conspicuous GMC van as much as you like, but the cops and the army will still have trouble trying to track you down.
5. No matter what escape device or weapon you want to build, there will always be the parts you need lying about.
6. There will always be enough time to build your escape devices and weapons before the bad guys return to deal with you.
7. Wanted criminals can work as theme park characters and even star in movies as costumed characters to avoid being recognized and arrested.
8. If you want to provide your secret organisation with a base where clients can contact you, simply dress up as an old Chinese guy who owns a laundromat
9. You can be one of America’s most wanted, wear a mohawk and lots of gold jewellery and still have the commentator at a televised pro-wrestling event ask “Who is that man?”
10. All army Colonels are incompetent (apart from Hannibal Smith of course! His plans ALWAYS come together.)
