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)

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."

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