@JediLuckySeven They have the best friendship on the show. It's much more subtle than the others, and frankly more adorable. Did you know that the actors were (and still are!) best friends in real life too?
Love all these guys, Murdock my favourite though. Would love to see Dwight, Dirk & Mr T come together again as Murdock, Face & BA, playing their original charachters 30 years on. Would be awesome! It's about time, Bring Back the A Team!
@JediLuckySeven Probably a lot of it was ad-libbed. Did you also know that almost all of Murdock's crazy stuff for the first couple of seasons was ad-libbed by Dwight? They would scold him and tell him not to, but he did it anyway, and they left it in. And eventually they actually started writing it in for him. But even then, he didn't always like what they wrote for him and still did his own thing. So yeah, I bet Dirk went along with it too!
Exactly. These characters were so heavily formed by the actors that played them, you have to wonder what they would have been like if the scripts had been followed to the letter. Would the show even have been half as good? I suspect not.
@JediLuckySeven They really should have. They're so cute together anyway, them doing anything is always great. I just love their best buds/brotherly friendship. :) And the Three Blind Mice incident hardly counts, because Face was TORTURING him with it. Poor Murdock. ;)
