Mr. T and the Traveling Gymnasts

Have you ever had a dream that made absolutely no sense in hindsight, but you went with it at the time?  Did you wake up and think about it some more and eventually realize how improbable and nonsensical the whole thing was?

Well, I have had that same experience with an old TV show.  At the time, it made perfect sense and I didn’t think much of it.  I simply went along with the whole thing.

Well, times have changed.  I have “woken up” so to speak and am realizing just how bizarre this show was.  Quite simply, I want to get to the bottom of this.  I need to get to the bottom of this.  I can’t take it anymore.  I don’t only want the truth – I demand it.

What on God’s great green earth was going on with this cartoon?  The planning session must have gone something like this:

Let’s take Mr. T and we’re gonna need some traveling gymnasts and we’re gonna want them to do backflips and fight crime.  As a matter of fact, we even want them to do both at same time.  Mr. T is to provide motivational support while looking tough and being a positive mentor to a young boy.  We’ll throw in a mean looking but no doubt cuddly dog for good measure.

Huh?

All of this aside, that dream was AWESOME!  I pity the fool who does not like this intro:

P.S.  One lousy comment about this video and I’M GONNA WHIP YOUR BUTT INTO A POUND OF CREAM CHEESE!
