Less than a year after The A-Team ended its run, Mr. T returned with an all-new series, produced in Canada.
T & T casts Mr. T as T. S. Turner, an ex-con who was sent to prison for a crime he didn't commit (sounds familiar), and now works for an attorney (Alex Amini) as a private eye. The series was a rare live-action entry from Nelvana, which had established itself in the US as a rival animation studio to the likes of Disney and Hanna-Barbera. Co-creator and co-executive producer Patrick Loubert also wrote some of the scripts, including the opener, "Extortion in Chinatown":
T & T aired on Saturday mornings locally on the Fox affiliate before Fox began their Saturday morning block. It was a mid-season entry, debuting in January 1988. After two seasons, the show gained new life on the then-Family Channel (now Freeform), but with one cosmetic change. Amini left the show, and another actress, playing the sister of the lawyer, became T's partner.
Rating: A.
