Season 1
By any standard, wide receiver Terrell Owens is a superstar. His explosive speed, superb physical conditioning and dynamic competitive spirit should seemingly translate to off-the-field success in love, family and life.
But even at the top of his game, something is missing, and this off-season Terrell Owens finds himself a man in transition.
Brash and outspoken, a media magnet, the private Terrell is a low-key introspective native of tiny Alexander City, Alabama who never forgets where he came from.
To help reconcile the contradictions in his persona - he's both "T.O.," a controversial hero to thousands of fans, and Terrell Owens, a single guy still searching for the right woman - he's taking some time in Los Angeles to chill out, reflect and be closer to his friends.
But because his "T.O." side is always present just beneath the surface, things won't stay quiet for long.
Terrell is not on this journey alone. His best friends and publicists, Monique Jackson and Kita Williams, are there every step of the way.
They are determined to shepherd their friend and client into success off the field, voicing their very distinct opinions about who Terrell should date, and who he shouldn't, while simultaneously running the "T.O. brand."
They also aren't above a little subterfuge to get their way, keeping a close eye on Terrell at red carpet events, gatherings at his house, club openings and even on cruise ships - never hesitating to pull back the reins and remind him that this off-season is about getting in touch with his inner Terrell.
From the dramatic end of his tenure in Dallas to his exciting new chapter in Buffalo, Monique and Kita also encourage Terrell to travel home to Alexander City, Alabama to share a poignant visit with his estranged father.
Could this meeting help explain why he is who he is today? And, will it inspire Terrell to rethink his own role as a father?
Emotional, entertaining and most of all revealing, Terrell Owens will expose his personal life as never before, bringing all the drama, energy and heart that only he can bring.
Season 2
Terrell Owens has had another up and down season on the football field. His one year contract with the Buffalo Bills has come and gone, and facing another off season full of questions, doubt and drama, T.O. is ready to make his next move.
Last off season was a time of discovery that landed Terrell in Los Angeles with his publicists and best friends Monique and Kita.
This year Terrell is going to return to the bright lights of Hollywood, but he's going on his own terms and with his own agenda to prepare for life beyond football.
With L.A. as his home base again, T.O. is thinking about the next phase of his life and will take advantage of his location to work on becoming a serious actor.
He also knows in the process he might just have a shot to reconnect with Kari - who has since moved to L.A. after Terrell broke up with her during the football season.
Now, in what could be his final off season, Terrell is out to make an impact on his past and future, while chasing romance and his Hollywood dreams. And he'll be asking himself the most important question of all: Do I even WANT to play football next season?
Kita and Monique will be ever watchful as T.O. wades into new territory, eventually helping to explore his role as a father.
But with so many things to contemplate, Terrell realises he can't do it alone and takes it upon himself to seek the aid of a therapist, who puts him face to face with his greatest challenge - himself.
As always there will be plenty of female temptations that could lure Terrell's focus away from acting and possibly even derail any chance he has at a real relationship.
Kita will be facing her own challenges in her personal life. She's dating a great guy, but will the "old fashioned" Kita be willing to take their relationship to the next level or at least get past third base?
Not to be outdone, Monique has a surprise of her own...she's pregnant with her third child. Will she be able to stand up to the pressures of motherhood and deal with Terrell at the same time? Or will her new addition help Terrell focus on the important things in life?
After achieving most of his goals, there is one that has eluded him...being in a committed relationship.
In a surprising conclusion to this season of the T.O. Show, Terrell makes a dramatic decision that will change his life forever.
