Anyone agree that this person was the Corniest TV character during the 1980-89 Era? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

"MR. T". He was such a cornball and that tough guy routine was a true joke and that hair cut of his was even a bigger joke-lol I just was never impressed by this character when growing up during the 1980's because he was nothing but a CARTOON character

looking back it was corny...at the time though he was sizzling. It's like any other character or famous person, while they are hot they are thee IN THING. Years later when you look back you are like WTF??????

sure he was corny but i always got a good laugh out of him by the way while we are on the subject of mr t if you ever get a chance to see the 1985 tv special with mr t telling the christmas story dont miss it ive never heard the chirstmas story told quite the way he tells it

Mr. Television · 06-15-2006, 11:36 PM

Mr T was great. All I need is season 5 and I'll have all The A-Team on DVD.

Better Days · 06-19-2006, 03:56 PM

I disagree. He got a lot of work: His own show, guest apearances all over TV and movies... so a lot of people must of liked him. I had a "friend" who "didn't like" black people.....but liked Mr. T

And he was supposed to be funny(while cool).

And he's making a comeback. Same hair!(how often does that happen).

Mr. T was a PHONY

Have you read The Catcher in the Rye, Solomon? Holden Caulfield was always using the word "phony."

I must disagree. True Mr. T looks like a joke nowadays, but back in those days, if you wore 40 punds of gold around your neck, then that was saying something!

Brian Damage · 06-21-2006, 07:18 PM

I was never a fan of Mr. T. I hated his cartoon and his cereal was gross. I guess I was bitter because he beat up Rocky and killed Mickey. lol
