So, I've been going back and watching shows I remember from growing up.
While the pinpoint accuracy of shooting 1 sec and the missing for 50 rounds thereafter is a bit ridiculous, the A-Team had some great lessons all around.
Every episode they helped out someone in need, had to improvise something, and had to work cohesively as a team.
Pretender, every episode, he helped fight corruption and an overarching secret organization. However, each episode he had to enlist the help of someone to do so, and had to think through a situation.
The shows I remember, are those that taught you to work together, enjoy your friends, be creative, and plan ahead, but be flexible enough to change as needed.
Where have these shows gone today?
