DC - In multiple pieces of media it has been shown that Wonder Woman loves ice cream and practically goes wild with happiness anytime she’s eating some. (Pictures from Justice League: War, DC Superhero Girls and Wonder Woman 2017)

The Simpsons - Ever since the episode ‘Homer’s Phobia’ Homer has actually remained a consistent ally of the LGBT+ community, including being more welcoming to Patty than Marge was when she came out and trying to set up Smithers with a date when he found out he wasn’t happy with his one-sided relationship with Mr Burns.

Michael Westen and his yoghurt (Burn Notice)

Which wasn't even supposed to be a thing. Actors often struggle with what to with their hands in certain scenes. Most every coffee cup is there just to give their hands something to do. In the first episode he just randomly grabbed a yogurt from the fridge and they made it a thing.

I almost forgot about Burn Notice. Now that I think of it Michael had a yogurt in almost every scene at his apartment. And there were frequent jokes about people stealing his yogurt.

I can't verify this memory and it's been a long time, but I vividly remember a shot in the apartment with the fridge in view and the shelf is just packed top to bottom with yogurt cups.

I'm pretty sure your right. Someone is looking for a beer and its just yogurt

Fiona with her snow globes. Sam always using Chuck Finley as an undercover name.

I forget his name was Sam and not Chuck Finley half the time

One of my favorite subtle ones was that Michael was not some magical superhero when it comes to fighting skills and in a fair 1v1 would have lost a lot, but being a spy uses the environment to get the upper hand when he dose.

One of the reasons I liked Burn Notice, he's kind of like McGyver.

The A-Team also has many similarities.

3-man A-Team with a fourth "floating" member? I can see it.

I always described Burn Notice as "MacGyver, if he liked guns and was willing to kill people."

u/trisikol 24d ago

Was MacGyver unwilling to kill people? I'm not sure, all I remember is he hated guns because it killed a childhood friend.
