What a waste of ingenuity!!!

Mr. T is kind of type cast (and I can't figure out why..lol).... Wrestling movies, the a-team, and random comercials are about all he can do...

Type-cast? Come on, he had his own cereal(I pity the fool who don't eat my cereal--Pee Wee's Big Adv.), his own cartoon (Mr. T and the gym team or something equally stupid), and his own comic-book. I guess it is hard for someone fond of wearing sweatpants, a weight-lifting belt, 40 lbs. of gold, and a mohawk to find "serious" acting work--although D.C Cab was a GREAT film

Don't forget the Professor from Gilligan's Island! Poor bastard, he made a radio out of a coconut but couldn't fix a hole in a boat...

Ahh, gone are the innocent times when a band of men could roam the land righting wrongs with only a sheet of corrugated iron between them and a hail of automatic gunfire.

Remember when people were asked to believe that an ageing corseted man could run a three minute mile in TJ Hooker?

Now that's some good writing!

Such oddities in mainstream 70s and 80s television.

The Harlem Globetrotters can come and go on Gilligans Island as they please but Gilligan and crew can't seem to emulate or tag along.

The Brady family installs an Astroturf yard, then compounds the idiocy by actually trying to cut it with an old style push blade spindle mower.

The A-Team can seemingly get hired for any undercover contract in the book by any citizen, yet the authorities can't ever seem to locate them -- at all.

When Head of the Class scenes migrated to the gym and the basketball court, for some reason the basketball court was 1/6 the scale of a regular court -- and yet nobody questioned it.

Here is one I always wondered about...


how did a tribe of jungle Amazon women manufacture an invisible jet? And why did it need to be invisible? Couldnt you get more "crime-fighting" for your buck if the bad guys can see you flying around, defending justice?

Or was it just to show off her legs?

In that case I vote for an invisible costume.

McGuyver rocks! Not only was the TV character cool, but Harry Dean Anderson (who played McGuyver) was a Pro Rally guy, even raced in the WRC event that came to the states in 1986 in a Toyota Corolla FX16. I have that one on tape somewhere around here.

A bit outclassed against the Gruppe B monsters of the time....
