* Why do the A-Team never hit anyone, despite being trained soldiers? ''Because they're deliberately missing''. They're already wanted for war crimes & breaking out of prison, adding several counts of murder to that wouldn't be a good idea.
Line 24 ⟶ 14:
** There's a saying: The Irish make good priests and horse traders (the pre-internal combustion engine equivalent to used car salesmen). The two jobs have a lot of skill overlap. Charisma and persuasion being up there. No deviant priests necessary and rather unlikely. We hear about bad priests a lot because it makes for great scandal, but they're really the exception to the rule.
* Usually the show can handwave the odd lack of help from the authorities for any given week's client with a quick line of dialog establishing them as being bought off or something, but sometimes they forget. For example, in "The Taxicab Wars," Michael Ironside's ''evil'' cab company is actively sabotaging, vandalizing, and threatening Ernie Hudson's cab company, including ''blowing up their cabs''. This happens due to Ironside's company retaliating for...Hudson's company reporting him to the taxicab commission for drug dealing and rigging rates. The episode never addresses why Hudson cannot A) report them ''again'' or B) just call the police, thus making the A-Team's involvement rather strange.
** "Steel" similarly featured no involvement from the authorities even though the week's villain was a construction contractor who was actually blowing up a public construction site and actively threatening a rival company from working the city's job. Presumably the city would just get the guy ''arrested'' to avoid losing any more money to him.
