The Man, The Cartoon, The Cereal: The Story of the Mr. T Cartoon (aka Mister T)

[TMC]

Mister T is an American animated series that aired on NBC on Saturday morning from 1983 to 1985, featuring the popular actor Mr. T and produced by Ruby-Spears Enterprises.

The cartoon stars Mr. T as a coach to a gymnastics team (with a specific emphasis on members Jeff, Woody, Robin, and Kim), travelling the world while becoming involved in and solving various mysteries similar to the Scooby-Doo franchise.

But Mr. T, the man, was also Mr. T the brand. There was Mr. T cereal, Mr. T action figures, dolls, Colorforms, storybooks and his appearances in movies like Rocky III and DC Cab and his starring role on the A Team.

Mr. T was everywhere.

The cartoon was horrible. My sister loved it, and as a result, we had the board game and other merch.
