The first season was quite good with plot of Mr.T as a former boxer working as a private detective catching bad guys and kicking butts, but then things changed in the next season. At the start of the second season plotlines started centering around social and environmental issues that T.S. and Amy began taking on in their work.
I liked this show. It was fun and exciting.

If someone doesn't like it, "I PITY THE FOOL!!!"
This was a great show...Everything, from the opening title design to the great eps, were classic 80's. I'm glad I can still catch this show on "Deja View" on the dish. Mr. T is the best!!
I didn't know there was a second partner for ole Mister Tero. Admired the looks of Alex Amini his ( first?) female partner. She made a few low budget movies in Canada before then and TandT was made here too as I recall. Couldn't even bear to watch this show even to see Alex.
Never jumped! This is classic television kitch. I think I was just the right age to appreciate this show when it was on. I loved Mr. T and got goosebumps during that pre-taped sequence where the problem in the episode finally got to the last straw and required conflict resolution in a physical encounter (T, of course stands for "tough") and he would go down to his locker room and change from his power suit into his militant (not military, mind you) outfit. I wish I could watch some more episodes of this. You just have to laugh at how over-the-top absurd it is for a TV show to attempt to write a character played by Mr. T that people will take seriously. (I also heard he was illiterate at the time.)
Mr T. was never really bad in anything he ever appeared in but this show just had a lame premise. It was so boring I don't even completely remember what it actually about, I can't believe it was on for three seasons. It totally jumped the shark when they had an episode in which some idiot would run around in a human cannonball costume with a trumpet calling himself "the silver bandit" raiding a supermarket of meat, I don't remember exactly how it went but it ended up with everyone singing and dancing reminiscent of the movie "Bugsy Malone". Truly one televisions worst moments .
It seemed great. It was carried on free TV, on the NBC station (I THINK) here in Chicago, where T is from. But YEESH! Lame. The worst was when T would "Hulk Out" (to use an expression from another show) by taking off his suit and putting on his street duds--and then just go out and talk to people! KICK SOME ASS ALREADY T!
Does anyone else remember this show? It was Mr. T's "triumphant" return to television. He played an ex-boxer or something like that, and he always worked with this one woman (two, actually, one for each season). Sure, he was fine on the A-Team, but his show actually pretended to be serious! Just horrible. Another "classic" from the Family Channel's glory days. Phfft!
