The 80's had a shitload of popcorn style action shows.

I did my best to go through every 80's debut to pull out the Top 16 and ranked them 1-16 based on my own criteria: longevity & syndication.

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
14. Blue Thunder
15. Riptide
16. China Beach

Round 1 Results:

(1) Magnum PI defeated (16) China Beach 32-2

(2) MacGyver defeated (15) Riptide 33-2

(3) Miami Vice defeated (14) Blue Thunder 30-5

(13) The Fall Guy defeated (4) Star Trek: Next Gen 23-12

(5) A-Team defeated (12) Remington Steele 25-8

(6) Knight Rider defeated (11) Simon & Simon 25-10

(10) Hunter defeated (7) Airwolf 19-15

(8) Quantum Leap defeated (9) Greatest American Hero 27-7


Round 2 Results:

(1) Magnum PI defeated (8) Quantum Leap 24-19

(2) MacGyver defeated (10) Hunter 35-8

(3) Miami Vice defeated (6) Knight Rider 22-21

(5) A-Team defeated (13) The Fall Guy 32-11



Final 4 Results:

(5) A-Team defeated (1) Magnum PI 29-19

(2) MacGyver defeated (3) Miami Vice 27-21


1. One vote per username
2. The Final 4 voting will last through Friday




Championship Matchup:

(5) A-Team defeats (2) MacGyver 18-16


As this guy would say:

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.
