That was fun! I really liked the other couple.

It's amazing with all those bullets flying around that no one on "our" team got a scratch. Ah, the magic of television!

there are many parts of each epi that the actors really connect in.

The plots sure are weak.

The shooting scene reminded me of every epi of The A Team - always a huge gun battle with only the 'bad' guys getting hurt/killed.

In spite of the fact that the A Team is outmanned and outgunned.

They played it for laughs and I guess I have to take it that way in True Lies.

Most of the premise is really silly anyway - a husband and wife team, with kids no less, paired up on 'dangerous missions'.

The acting makes it work, sort of.  The scripts are silly of course.  

Still, I watch.

Helen having legitimate concerns about shooting people with a gun is sort of an odd beat in this show. It makes me want to see a version of the show where inexplicably no bullets are ever fired, no one is ever tortured for information, and no one is ever blown up.
