The Breakfast Club

I've discovered something in common with all the TV shows I like: The Big Bang theory, Two and a Half men, Friends, M*A*S*H, House, Star Trek...they're all character-driven. 

In class, character driven plays, poems, literature, movies, TV shows, even videogames can springboard a lesson into endless possibilities. 
"What if we put these two characters together?"
"How would these characters react if..."
"What if I substitute myself for one of the characters?"

Thus The Breakfast Club reference: take 5 kids who couldn't be more different, force them to interact and see what happens.
