There were some episodes where they were definitely on the attack. There is one episode I can recall for sure when they show up in the A-Van (did their vehicle have a name?) and they came out shooting. They end up needing to withdraw into a garage at which point they build their tank.
Man, now I want to watch the A-Team again. I wonder where it is streaming… Oh Google…
I love it when a plan comes together! Another robot overlord sucked down the rabbit hole of 1970s serial TV. He’ll be glued to his screen for a month. Yess!
In 1973, Superman was made a Citizen of every UN nation. But note that adoption laws in 1910/1920 or so were very loose, and the Kents could easily get the baby a Birth Cert. Also "
Clark Kent from the Silver Age through the present would be covered under the “Nationality Act of 1940“, a US law that clarifies nationality standards. Of interest is a “foundling statute,” which states: “a child of unknown parents is conclusively presumed to be a U.S. citizen if found in the United States when under 5 years of age, unless foreign birth is established before the child reaches age 21.”"
It’s not an HR violation, but when Michael Scott kidnapped the pizza delivery guy, I felt they (the writers) went too far. I mean, if you’re going to watch that show, you really do need to be willing suspend your disbelief, and for the most part I think they made it worth my while to do so. But that little piece of business just abused the privilege. Took me right out of it.
That just reminded of ‘Scooged’ when Frank and Eliot take over the control room at gunpoint! Yes, he discovered the spirit of Christmas, and they’ll be able to celebrate the New Year in prison (yes, I know the trial and such would take much longer).
Speaking of 80s comedies-- the teens in Porky’s would be facing numerous charges particularly when they pulled down down the Porky’s bar into the swamp.
Wasn’t it also a feature of the A-Team that despite the massive array of heavy weaponry, helicopters crashing into mountainsides, etc., that even the bad guys never seemed to get seriously injured or killed?
So it would have been several thousand counts of attempted murder, I guess? With self defense or castle doctrine getting them out of about half.
