Shout-Out: To – what else, since Mr. T is in this show – The A-Team. He's even called on to stop a gang of hoodlums from harassing their classmates and stealing things.
Special Guest: Mr. T. In part to draw in audiences, but also to promote Mr. T's new animated cartoon, Mister T (which was also new to NBC's Saturday morning schedule and – like Alvin and the Chipmunks – produced by Ruby-Spears Productions).
Super-Strength: The bullies find out that Mr. T is more than a match for their (combined) size, as they wind up on a merry-go-round, which he spins with such might that the bullies are a dazed, disoriented wreck by the time the police arrive to arrest them for the theft.
