Wow. TV Funhouse cartoons really do come true. Last week's
episode of SNL had a cartoon about Mr. T dispensing his unique advice to people ("Don't do milk. Drink
drugs."), and now he really is getting an advice show. TV Land just had its Upfronts where it announced a show (previously mentioned here) called I Pity the
Fool, starring Mr. T "in the unlikely role of a social scientist traveling across the country to dispense his
own classic Mr. T-style advice." He's going to insert himself in some sticky situations and help people work to a
conclusion. It's like Dr. Phil with bling!It premieres in October.

Great!!! Mr. T tells it like it is. I look forward to seeing him among the myriad of biased liberal media. He is unique and is not a kiss-a__ like both Phils. Best of luck to Mr. T and other living members of "The A Team" Grandmaster Ro Wa-Ken Tal Kung-Fu

In an age where herbs are viewed as real medicine and the prayers of strangers are viewed as having effects at a distance, and where superpowers attempt to impose democracy through military invasion, it is almost inevitable that a loud-mouthed, washed-up actor whose best-known role features a brute with a proclivity to violence, would get a TV show spotlighting his opinions on (of all things) the social sciences.

I enjoyed Mr T and he is said to be a very nice man. In chcicago, he is spoken of well and said also to be good with kids. His borther, one of them...was a very well noted defense instructor at the chicago plice academy, and a real bad ass. My Mr T's bother RIP, as I believe he died a few years ago. Good luck Mr. T, its just entertainment folks not rocket science.
