Mr. T on Blossom (1994)

 

Quick, name all the people who have both wrestled in Wrestlemania AND appeared on an episode of "Blossom."

Mr. T has certainly had an eclectic career. Not eclectic in the roles he's played, certainly, but in the variety of projects.

My highest hope, my most fervent wish of Mr. T's one episode of "Blossom" is that it would also happen to be a "very special" episode. There's no way to know, unfortunately. In the episode Joey learns that his friend is doing steroids so it's not outside the realm of possibility, but I think this is the norm for the show.

I've already prematurely named Mr. T's weirdest role of all-time but this one is at least a contender for second place. In the episode Mr. T plays Joey Lawrence's imaginary friend (back again from childhood). When Joey is faced with a tough decision we will hear a magic "zing" and Mr. T will appear to impart wisdom.

In the end, Joey convinces his friend to stop doing steroids. There's also a cute credit sequence where Joey tries to teach T to say his trademark "Whoah!" and then T teaches him to say "I pity the foo!"
