Fed up with her husband’s domineering ways, a middle-class Black housewife follows her progressive children’s advice and stages a protest.

Colonel John "Hannibal" Smith is the leader of a rag-tag group of Vietnam veterans, who were a finely-trained espionage team during the war.

This smash-hit action-adventure series was one of the most popular shows of the 1980s.
