Hard Time on Planet Earth was an action TV series in the same vein of the A-team. It aired in 1989 in CBS and ran to 13 episodes of approximately 45 minutes before being pulled out of the air.

The main character was an alien Elite Military Officer who served in a huge interplanetary war. After the war ended, he was prosecuted for unnecessary violence and other war crimes; he was found guilty, but in observation to his valuable services in the war, he was given the chance to reform by spending an undetermined amount of time as a vastly underpowered human form (played by actor Martin Kove) down in planet Earth. Along with him was dispatched "Control" (voiced by Danny Mann), a small floating robot in the form of a mechanical eye with the mission of overlooking Jesse (the earthly name adopted by the alien warrior) and make sure he'd keep his violent behavior under control and also, to provide comic relief to the series, usually by assessing the events with the catchphrase "Negative Outcome. Not Good."

Each episode saw the adventures of Jesse as he helped different persons in need, at first reluctantly to earn Control's approval in order to put an end to his exile, but slowly more willingly as he became fond of the goodness on some of Earth's people.
