Mr. T: Take my advice, or else

NEW YORK (AP) -- If Dr. Phil can dispense advice, why not Mr. T?
The TV Land network announced Tuesday that it will start "I Pity the Fool," a series where "The A-Team" star travels across the country dispensing inspiration and advice.
"The 't' stands for talking," he said in an interview with The Associated Press. "I'm going to talk it up. It's what I've been doing all my life."
The series starts in October. He'll offer help to people struggling with personal or professional problems.
"My show ain't no 'Dr. Phil,' with people sitting around crying," he said. "You're a fool -- that's what's wrong with you. You're a fool if you don't take my advice."

yyyeeeeeeeeeeahhhhhhh!

single greatest news ever.

The TiVo must be programmed as soon as I get home from work...

I find it hilarious. He's grasping at straws on his waning public knowledge. Look at Tony Danza who did the same thing. In fact, I'm pretty sure that for every 2 people that recognize Mr. T from those stupid cell phone commercials, there are 30 people from the current generation that have absolutely no idea who he is.

I pity the fool that doesn't end up watching this show religiously.

:cry: :pray:

...thank you...

I've had a few ideas for reality shows that I think would kill.

Check this:

"Elbow-Drow Adopt!" - Its Macho Man Randy Savage! And he's adopted a 9 year old boy! Sounds awesome at first, until you realize the "rule". Macho Man, must always play the role of Macho Man. INSTANT HILARITY. PTA meetings! Taking kid to a soccer game! Making him breakfast, lunch and dinner out of Slim Jims!

And -

"MTV's : The HIVvy" - Where a group of 3 married guys have to live with 12 strippers. The catch? The strippers must always be sexually attracted to the 3 guys. Sounds like a fantasy come true, until you realize, that 8 of them have AIDS. Will the men not cheat on their wives? But how would you know? After 12 weeks, the AIDS tests are administered. Whoever doesnt have AIDS, wins.

Yeah but he will, still to this day, get more ass, money and attention than any of us on this board.. He's an American pop culture icon, Mr T. Pities the haters, now stop that jibber jabber and fetch my gold chains fool.

There is a God.

Mr T. rocks this is sweet news.

one small difference: when people who don't know Mr. T see him, they don't forget him. They'd have no reason to remember Tony Danza. "but he was banging angela" means nothing to them. :lol:

[botticus]

I hope I get TVLand.

Someone needs to update the thread whenever it airs. I'd like to watch it.

:applause: I'd watch the hell out of both of the shows. Imagine how dramatic the last episode of the 'HIVvy' would be. It would be great!

[Dead of Knight]

Wait, on The HIVvy, they wouldn't know the strippers have AIDS, right? :rofl:

:applause: This would be the sole reason for getting me to watch MTV ever again. Now THAT'S a reality show!!!

[munch]

Exactly. And the strippers couldn't tell them. Imagine the conversations.

Man A) So, you don't have AIDS do you?
Stripper) I can't tell you.
Man A) That's good enough for me!

Great concept.

The premise reminds me a little bit of Andrew W.K.'s advice show on MTV2 -- which was terrific.

How many episodes were aired? I don't even remember hearing about that one. Then again, I stopped watching MTV years ago.

I think it was a season long, or something...

I saw one episode of it, on MTV. I don't have MTV2, so I never got to tune into it.

The presmise was that people would write in, he'd read the letters on air and visit their home and try to solve their problems. Andrew W.K. is a very intelligent guy, so the advice was actually very valuable.

[Gauss]

Haha this will be sick. Mr.T will really show how to get rid of your problems.

Oh, man. I may have to rush home and see what advice the "Party Hard" singer can give me regarding how to change a diaper.

My friends and I were bullshitting in the living room 2 years ago when I came up with these ideas. The scary thing, I havent done drugs in 5 years. This was all stone cold sober ideas. I dont watch reality TV shows because theres no danger... the people get kicked off and they get tours and their own shows. But if they had AIDS, hell yeah.

When the MR.T show posted here, that night of talking all came back to me. =)

Imagine how imbearessed and possibly insane that kid would be after spending 3-4 months with Macho Man in character for that long.

I also had an idea where people lived in a chocolate house and their food (real food for a while, good 4 course meals) kept getting rationed. Imagine how sick they would be when they started eating the home, and then how horrible it would be when they were homeless.

As the show progresses I would start adding fat people to the show, if it was getting boring. And start blowing weed smoke in the direction of the house.

Whattya think guys? Should I start writing production studios?

Great heavens! This man is a GENIUS!!! Keep the ideas coming, Mooky!

[Mookyjooky]

Ok, here's one

"Born with it?"

This show would be about the topic, "Are people really born that way?"

Examples:

Put a group of Vegans in a house, and hook electrodes to them. Every time they eat a vegetable, they would be punished. Either by being shocked, sprayed with honey (and the water gets shut off for 2 hours) or the vegetables are poisoned with substances that make them throw up. There is fresh delicious meat, milk, ice cream, butter and eggs always sitting in a corner of the room. So this is the catch.

If they eat the meat, they get to eat and nothing happens. If they eat the vegetables they get punished. Now if they were born that way, then meat and dairy shouldn't even enter their minds no matter what. But if they were not born that way, and it is a choice... then they would lose, but get to eat.

For the second season: the topic is Homosexuality.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Of course, theres always "Bear-suit". The show where a man must live for 4 weeks in the forest wearing a bear suit that is locked on him at all times. If he comes out of the forest, he'll most likely be shot. Will he survive bear season? Will he crack and break into a home for food? - It writes itself.

[munch]

I <3 Bear Season!
