Mister T is an animated series that aired on NBC on Saturday morning from 1983 to 1986. A total of 30 episodes were produced during all three seasons, with the thirteen episodes for Season 1, eleven for Season 2, and six episodes for the third and final season. The series was produced by Ruby-Spears Productions. Reruns were later seen on the USA Cartoon Express in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and more recently as part of Cartoon Network's Adult Swim late-night programming block.

Plot

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.

Paul Dini, Jack Kirby, and Neal Adams have all contributed to Mr. T's comic book and cartoon show.

At the beginning of each episode, a live-action introduction featuring Mr. T himself is shown to explain what is going on. At the end of each episode, Mr. T narrates a moral lesson for the audience.

Characters

  • Mr. T (voiced by Mr. T) - He is the coach of the gymnastics team.
  • Ms. Priscilla Bisby (voiced by Takayo Fischer) - The team's well-mannered bus driver who loves mystery novels. Her catchphrase is "My stars and garters".
  • Jeff Harris (voiced by Shawn Lieber) - The wise guy of the team with a big ego.
  • Woody Daniels (voiced by Phil LaMarr) - An African-American gymnast and Jeff's friendly rival.
  • Robin O'Neill (voiced by Amy Linker) - A beautiful, blue-eyed redhead with freckles who's eager to jump into any situation. She also acts as Mr. T's second-in-command. Her catchphrase is "What the hairy heck?".
  • Kim Nakamura (voiced by Siu Ming Carson) - A Japanese girl who is a daughter to a scientist. She has a photographic memory that comes in handy as she can remember various magazine articles and book passages, including the issue or volume, and the page she read it on.

  • Vince D'Amato - An Italian American who has dreams of being a movie star.
  • Courtney Howard - An African-American girl gymnast whose father is a major in the military. Her uncle is a magician who was previously a burglar.
  • Grant Kline - An ex-gang member who turned his life around, thanks to Jeff.
