    Obviously, it's called I Pity the Tool. *sigh*

    Here's what Variety says about the upcoming show:

    "The pilot will show Mr. T helping out an old associate, a man whom Mr. T visited when the guy was a teenager and had broken his neck while playing in the snow (the man is back on his feet again, with a large family). Future episodes, slated for 2016, are expected to also show Mr. T lending a hand to people who need it, like military veterans or people going through hard times.
    "I am tough, but deep inside my toughness, I like to let people know I'm an old-fashioned mama's boy," said Mr. T, who has spent recent years working on commercials, a short-lived reality series on Viacom's TV Land and a book. "I have a heart of gold, but I'm really a marshmallow in my heart."
    Scripps and DIY are set to unveil the series as part of the company's presentation for the upfront market, when U.S. TV networks try to sell the bulk of their advertising for the coming programming season. DIY's celebrity series, Finch said, helped the network grow ratings among its target audience, adults 25-54, more than 8% in 2014."
