What Parents Need to Know
About I Pity the Fool
Parents need to know that in this self-improvement reality series, '80s action star Mr. T helps real people who are struggling with family, work, and relationship problems -- many of which are rooted in laziness and failed communication. Parents also need to know that while the show doesn't present these issues in a way that's particularly controversial or extremely contentious, the subject matter isn't really geared toward younger viewers. That said, some kids may be drawn in by Mr. T's icon status, and the show is fine for older tweens and up.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about their own problems with family members, friends, or co-workers -- and ways to deal with these issues. Could any be improved through better communication? What are some other ways of resolving conflicts? Families can also talk about favorite action heroes. Even though they can "fix" the problems on television, are they really good sources of advice? Why do you think Mr. T was chosen to host this show?

Made me feel good
In this day and age there is a need for programing like this. No fancy degrees, No fluff, just the basic nuts and bolts that can be deleivered in an enteraining and firm way. Mr. T did a good job teaching everyone its about building relationships not your Bank account. Treat people like you want to be treated and the money will show up as a by product. Most young people don't understand this concepet because it has been forgotten by those who grew up on it and were supposed to pass it on. These simle things are what makes America GREAT!
