Be Somebody... or Be Somebody's Fool!

I love Hannibal because he's such a snarky arsehole (I have no idea whether I'm allowed to swear here). It's fabulous. LOL

From what I've seen of Mr. T, I think I like him as a person. (Of course, I don't know much about him, so there may be some unsavory things I don't know about. But he always seemed like he was about trying to be positive, especially for kids, etc. I mean, B.A. spends the entire show obsessed with milk-- surely so parents could point at him and say, "See, B.A./Mr. T drinks his milk!")

(and this is why I'm glad I never watched this as a kid. My mom TOTALLY would've tried that line on me. Of course, my reply would've been, "Great-- then he can have mine!" LOL)

You have to hand it to Mr T for making those videos at the height of his fame. It was worth it if it influenced only one young person to make better life decisions.

He clearly cared about children. In one of the episode commentaries, Dwight and Dirk said that as part of a charity arrangement, terminally ill children would be invited to spend the day with Mr T on the A-Team set. Dirk and Dwight admired Mr T for doing this and for how good he was with the children.
