Mr. T and Tina is an American sitcom[1] and a spin-off of Welcome Back, Kotter starring Pat Morita that aired for five episodes on ABC from September 25 to October 30, 1976.[2]
Synopsis
Pat Morita starred as Taro Takahashi, a Japanese inventor who moves his family from Tokyo to Chicago. He hires scatterbrained and free-spirited American Tina Kelly (Susan Blanchard) as the live-in governess for his children, Sachi (June Angela) and Aki (Gene Profanato).
Going against the popular Bob Newhart Show on CBS and the second half of Emergency! on NBC, Mr. T and Tina drew poor ratings and was cancelled after just five episodes were aired, although nine were filmed. (Fittingly, the last episode shown was entitled "I Thought He'd Never Leave".)
