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.
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.
On May 10, 2011, Warner Archive released Mister T: The Complete First Season on DVD in Region 1 territories (North America and Japan). This is a Manufacture-on-Demand (MOD) release, available exclusively through Warner's online store and Amazon.com. As Mister T and the other 1978-91 Ruby-Spears programs were sold to Turner Broadcasting in 1991 alongside the Hanna-Barbera library and studio (both corporations shared a parent company, Great American (formerly Taft) Broadcasting), the Mister T DVD set is branded as part of the Hanna-Barbera Classics Collection. The second and third seasons has yet to be released.
