Google Trends Smackdown: A-Team vs. MacGyver

Google Trends Smackdown: A-Team vs. MacGyver. In terms of searches, it is for all intents and purposes a tie. But in terms of news coverage, MacGyver is cited far more often than A-Team. These news references will help MacGyver overtake the A-Team in the long term.


The first Google Trends link above shows that the rest of the world is more active than the US in terms of searching for these old shows. When we restrict the search region to only the United States, we see that major wester cities prefer MacGyver, but major eastern and southern cities prefer the A-Team. Well, at least those cities shown in the top 10. Don't write your graduate thesis on that last observation. But maybe we can tease out that the East Coast and the South are more about creative teamwork, and the Western States prize the rugged, inventive individual?
