Seeds:
1. Magnum PI
2. MacGyver
3. Miami Vice
4. Star Trek: Next Gen
5. A-Team
6. Knight Rider
7. Airwolf
8. Quantum Leap
9. Greatest American Hero
10. Hunter
11. Simon & Simon
12. Remington Steele
13. The Fall Guy

A-Team

Not close

MacGyver as a #2 seed was both a joke and a gift.

I grew up in the 80's, and know one person who watched that show.
