Were the Am erican audience that thrilled hearing B.A. Baracus (Mr. T) say "Shut up fool!"; were they that interested in seeing if Hannibal's (George Peppard) plan always comes together, or was it truly the violence that sold the show? Compared to NBC's new experimental shows like Hill Street Blues, and St. Elsewhere, whose innovative use of realism sparked the Third Golden Age of Television and quality TV as we know it; The A-Team (TAT) is just another parody of the action/adventure genre.

... wanted to grant the federal government increased powers. The South wanted to reserve all undefined powers to the individual states. The North also wanted internal improvements sponsored by the federal government. This was more roads, railroads, and canals. The South, on the other hand, did not want these projects to be done at all. Also the North wanted to develop a tariff. With a high tariff, it protected the Northern manufacturer.

... membership at Akron had not helped him enough to achieve sobriety. When the doctor met Bill, he found himself face to face with a fellow sufferer who had made good (Pitman 62). Bill emphasized that alcoholism was a malady of mind, emotions and body. Though a physician, Dr. Bob had not known alcoholism to be a disease. Due to Bill’s convincing ideas, he soon got sober, never to drink again. The founding spark of A.A. had been struck (Wekesser 26).
