    Mr T Comeback

    by mrhotmonkeylove

    I think Mr T would be perfect for the role of Murdock in the A-Team remake.

    Then he can cash in on his comeback with his own personal line of Teas.

    Sounds like more senseless exploitation of fools

    by dr. meirschultz

    "I remember one time I tried to pity this fool. He told me his name was Jeff. He was married. He pulled out his wallet and showed me three pictures of his kids; Kelly, Robert, Brittany. Real cute kids. Don't get too close man. It's hard to pity a fool if you get too close."

    Mr. T should just host a TV Funhouse animated show every week featuring himself "needing work".

    Isn't this show about 20 years too late?

    Mr. T is so 1980's. Does anyone under the age 30-35 even remember him?

    or does the word 'skein' not appear at any point in that Variety article? A Variety article maintaining a semblance of literacy may be one of the signs of the apocalypse.

    Mr.T

    by emeraldboy

    Mr t already did a reality show and it was bizaarre, it was a hybrid concept one part animated and one part live action. Then there was the il-fated, Mr t show in which the mohawked one went to a youth centre in some deprived area of New york. Then there was the, hip-hop single , dear god that was funny and slightly sad. Not to mention the episode involving trees, rare trees, mr t, a chain saw and jail.

    This could be an exercise in self pity...

    by childe roland

    ...and logical parodoxes rivaling even "Joey." Fact: Mr. T pities fools. Fact: Mr. T is a fool. Hypothesis: Mr. T pities himself? I guess this depends on 1.) whether or not Mr. T automatically pities all fools, which seems like a safe assertion, and 2.) whether or not Mr. T possesses the self awareness and/or intelligence to recognize the fool in the mirror, which is a bit more gray an area (I mean, look at him...does he actually dress himself and leave the house thinking he looks good?). I'd wager good money (which T clearly needs) that all of my questions will be answered and my hypothesis proven within the first three minutes of the first episode.

    Hogan knows best

    by emeraldboy

    Hogan gets my vote as the worlds toughest dad. Any dad who bugs his daughters car and ends her relationship when he discoveres that her boyfriend went to gay bar once, dictates, what she wears, even thought she's 18, has got to be either control freak or is hiding something. You have to feel sorry for her boyfriends. Jimmy meet my dad. Dad: You do anything, to harm her, brother and ill snap your back and use your spine as an aerial, got that brother.

    Looking at the Hogan family, with the exception of the son, they all could snap your back, physically.

    chrth, I was just wondering if anyone will watch it.

    by excaliburffolkes

    As I said, no one under 30 knows who Mr. T is, and I doubt anyone over 30 is all that interested in him anymore. Who does that leave as an audience? Maybe I'm wrong, and there are legions of middle-aged Mr. T fans out there who have been patiently biding their time and waiting for him to make a comeback, but I'd say the odds on that are extremely slim.

    The Mr. T self-help for kids movie...

    by alonzo mosely

    'Be somebody or be someboy's fool' is without doubt the greatest thing ever in the history of things. See T play the cello like a violin, see Dr. T forget his pants, see T teach young children that if they trip and middle aged bald fat guys laugh at them, pretend the trip is the start of a breakdance routine. He teaches kids about his roots, and raps about his mother 'Mother there is no other, mother the only one'... Then new edition show up to teach kids about peer pressure. Ahh the irony of Bobby Brown warning kids about the dangers of drinking beer and smoking cigarettes they find in the trash. Because we all know people throw unopened cans of beer and packets of cigs in the trash, on a pier, so a song called peer pressure can be sung. Get it, peer, pier... Seriously, watch it, it will change your life...
