A-Team Cliché Checklist (for drinking games and general enjoyment). →

Netflix recently made every season of the 80s action adventure TV series The A-Team available for instant viewing. It is one of my favorite shows ever (in no small part due to nostalgia). In watching the shows again this past week I realized a lot of my enjoyment comes from the extremely formulaic nature of the show. I decided to design this checklist in order to measure the adherence of each episode to the show’s elaborate system of cliche and convention.
.

Feel free to download the checklist, expand on it, and adapt it into a drinking game. If you do, please post a comment and let me know about it!
