Welcome to the club, OP. I fell in love with them in 2010, when I found reruns on TV (before I saw the movie reboot). It's so un-PC by today's standards, which makes it slightly surreal at points, but it's still really entertaining.

Who's your favorite, if I may ask?

[(Anonymous)]

woah, are you me anon? Exact same introduction for me, down to the date.

I'm not OP, but Murdock is my fave

[(Anonymous)]

OP feels obligated to like Murdoch, since her favorite character was compared to him, but must admit that Mr. T's mechanical genuis has stolen her heart. Science is sexy, yo.

[tabaqui]

Faceman! Mostly because i was deeply in luff with Dirk Benedict.
*swoon*

[lunabee34]

The Face! Yes. I had a little girl crush on him.

But Mr. T. was probably my favorite. Loved his one liners.

[tabaqui]

Heee! He was fun, but i always had this psychosomatic 'my neck is hot and itchy!!' watching him in all his chains.

[lunabee34]

Ha! I love it. I bet all those chains were pretty heavy, too.

I loved Murdoch and his subsequent appearances on Macguyer as well.

[tabaqui]

Yes, i liked him too! I always liked the character who had a touch of the not-quite-right about them.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes! Faceman!

Young Dirk Benedict >>>> What's-his-face in the movie.

[tabaqui]

HA. Yes. I loved him in BG, too - Starbuck forever!

[kryss_labryn]

Ha ha ha! I grew up watching the A-Team. It was awesome. XD

The hilarious part, by today's standards, is that it considered itself a family show. See, they had all these guns going off everywhere, but no one ever, I mean EVER, got hit. Except B.A. one time in the foot, and it was HUUUGE. And whenever a car was launched into the air (about three times per episode, lol) they were always very careful to show the bad guys in it crawling away unharmed. So, see? it's not actually really "violent" because there are absolutely no consequences whatsoever!! No one gets hurt! Perfect family fare. Or something. XD

Me and my brother loved it. Dad watched a few episodes with us and probably would have really enjoyed it, except then he saw B.A. welding with a cutting torch. Or cutting with a welding torch, one or the other. We certainly didn't care (or notice) but Dad was a mechanic and it pretty much killed his suspension of disbelief entirely. XD Because three was nothing else ever goofy about that show. XD

[(Anonymous)]

Upon interrogating her mothet, the OP learned that the show was forbidden when she was a child precisely because it was so violent.
Thank you for explaining why everyone is fine after the car crashes. That detail was a bit confusing.

[kryss_labryn]

NP! :-) My own mum came pretty close to forbidding it once or twice based on the violence, but we managed to convince her that while we were cheering it all on on TV, it didn't mean that we were fine with violence in real life. Plus I think Dad thought she was over-reacting a bit. But yeah, even back then (some) people were concerned about desensitizing youth to violence, and that above, that they were always very careful to show that no one was actually getting hurt, was the show's response.

These days, of course, the issue would be that they were showing that the actions didn't actually have consequences, that you can flip your car around three times and walk away, and that would be definite cause for concern. Back then we were still figuring out this whole "TV violence = bad" thing and I think hadn't quite gotten the hang of it yet, lol.
