The A-Team (1983)

Four ex-Army special forces men, on the run after being convicted "for a crime they didn't commit," help a different underdog every week, and most episodes end with them improvising weapons and vehicles out of whatever parts are lying around. Hannibal plans, Face talks, B.A. Baracus drives the 1983 GMC Vandura, and Murdock supplies the chaos. The gunfire never stops, yet almost nobody gets killed, which makes it oddly relaxing. The formula is the most rigid on this list, so it works best a few episodes at a time rather than in a long binge. Stephen J. Cannell and Frank Lupo created it, and five seasons ran to 98 episodes.
