Fiction is dead people. It’s OVER. Television viewers don’t want to watch a well written story (or a bad one – I’m looking at you Yes Dear). They want to watch ‘real’ people in unreal, staged situations. The only time that is EVER effective is on MXC – but that’s because Asians are very uncoordinated. And that’s REAL people.

So following in the footsteps of so many mind-numbingly boring reality shows, Mr. T is making is grand comeback. Let’s just say that I used to be a big, big fan of the A-Team. Huge. But Mr. T’s reality show on TV Land – named creatively ‘I Pity the Fool’ – is going to make me want to beat myself in the face. Again (I’m looking at you Hogan Knows Best). He will apparently dole out advice – T-style – to people in various decision making situations.

TV Land Senior Vice President Sal Maniaci gave the show a final kiss of death by calling it “heart-warming and humorous.”
