Just like you, when *I* get bored I like to come up with super action/adventure teams made up of characters from TV shows from the 70's and the 80's. Sure, sometimes I'll expand in to the 60's or the 90's, but for the most part it sticks to the 70's and 80's. Each team has to have at least the 5 archetypes of the Action/Adventure team:

  • The Leader
  • The Muscle
  • The Psychic/Magician (AKA "The Spooky Chick")
  • The Brain
  • The Crazy Guy/Comic Relief

You can mix and match, adding more characters as you see fit. Nor more than one character from any particular show, though, unless you can justify using them as a matched pair (EXAMPLE: "The Duke Boys" could serve as your "The Crazy Guy" because they are a matched set filling one slot, but you couldn't use The Professor for your "The Brain" and Gilligan as "The Crazy Guy/Comic Relief").

Everyone does this when bored, right?

So currently I have my favorite team being "Fantasti-Team One". They're the super-elite strike force that gets sent in to those hot spots that are too hot for even the US Military to handle!

The Muscle? B.A. Baraccas, from The A-Team
The Psychic/Magician? Samantha Stevens from BeWitched
The Brain? Mr. Belvedere from Mr. Belvedere
The Crazy Guy/Comic Relief? Cousin Cody from Step By Step AND Cousin Balki from Perfect Strangers

And The Leader? MacGuyver from MacGuyver.

Man, what I wouldn't pay to see THAT show on the new Fall line-up! Just imagine it!

Cross-posting this in to a few different places because hey, I'm The Comic Book Guy!

Comic Book Convention at the Seattle Center Northwest Rooms SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 12TH (that's tomorrow morning, kiddies)!

10:00AM till 5:00PM, though it usually breaks up around 4 at the latest. Admission is just $3, or $2 with the donation of some canned food. Free posters and promotional items for everyone who attends!

This isn't really your stereo-typical Comic Book Convention with people in costumes and other embarrassing situations. This is just a bunch of people trying to sell Comic Books and sci-fi related stuff.

I'll be there till at least noon or so... look for me! I'll be the fat guy with glasses and a beard wearing a Comcast baseball cap!
