American Television can be a psychological power tool, processing the country’s collective unconscious. Throughout the 1980s, a batch of detective shows helped viewers deal with their complicated feelings about the Vietnam War (and its aftermath.) Crime shows concerning kidnappings and jewel heists would include episodes about distrusting authority and Rambo-style wish-fulfillment. Audiences experienced TV therapy through shows like THE A-TEAM, MAGNUM PI, MIAMI VICE, SIMON & SIMON and THE EQUALIZER.
