    This is probably the most amusing 30 minute reality show I have seen in quite some time. I have all of the first 6 on my DVR and have watched them over laughing along to each one. I really really really, did i say really, Really hope they bring back more!I mean while its funny, I find myself actually caring for the people involved in the show and being glad when they get their act together and wishing that Mr T would come and kick my butt! Come on, 6 episodes? TVLand we know you have viacom money behind you, buck up and give us more T! I'll even promise to not fast forward through the commercials on my DVR!

    I have to say I'm really impressed with this show. 80s icon Mr.T is back on television to make sure people are pulling there on weight when it's needed. This show shows a different side of Mr.T as a somewhat of motivational speaker and not the tough guy bully we use to know. Mr.T gives a self-sacrificing effort to those in need of change for the better and live more of an progressive life with loved ones,co-workers etc.,mostly those involved in group activities. Like for instance getting a self-centered non-productive man to get involved with his family's household duties and aboard. Also getting an employer to crack down on doing his part to get work done. Overall this show is positive,uplifting,with encouraging results. Mr.t helps give people a change in attitude towards how people use to be and see things from a different and better perspective. Just one thing though I hope what Mr.T has done will pay off in the long run.

    I like Mr. T's attitude and the fact that this personality and icon is doing a reality show in the first place. I like the people he's helping out, I like the honesty, I like the frustration, and I like it when they come together in the end. This show is good and pretty entertaining, especially compared to that other TvLand Original DISASTER a.k.a. "Alf's Hit Talk Show". That was probably the worst show. Ever. In TV history. So TvLand certainly did well with this show, in light of their other failed attempts at "Orignal" entertainment.Anyway, this show is raw entertainment. To deal with, Mr. T is given pretty crappy, lazy, pathetic excuses for human beings. He makes the best out of what he's got to work with and in the end, it comes out relatively well. It's not always perfect and there's no guarantee these idiots are going to maintain their new MO. But there's the hope that they will. That's ultimately what makes the show a Reali-T. It gets my stamp of approval.

    Mr. T's got an interesting idea here of being a "reality check" for shaking people out of the complacent ruts that we often get into, forcing them to look at themselves and the world around them in terms of the "Big Picture" of things. This is important stuff, and is a good dose of old-fashioned "common sense."I wonder, though, how well and how long it will play for. The first couple of times might well be interesting, but there's a danger it can become formulaic and dry. Mr. T's personality, humor, and honest intention will carry it far, but it might deliver a more long-lasting message if it evolves into more than just a glorified one-man show.
