What made these shows so iconic?
Similar to the movies of the time, the TV shows in the 80's are known for their lovable characters and their adventurous qualities. During this time there was a large release of middle-class family sitcoms, and silly, often crime fighting, cartoons. People love the stereotypical dramatic family/household sitcoms. The ones in which a family may develop a small problem in the beginning of each episode yet by the end they all work together to resolve it. The plot renews itself each episode, but you still continue to see the same great characters. These TV series are classics because they are easy to watch, and they're well written. The A-Team and the rest of the action genre gives people a fix of adventure and thrill with just a touch of comic relief, but they're each a great common place for family entertainment.
