Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

OllieSuave-007 I've caught quite a few episodes of this sit-com as a kid, and was pretty amused by the decent humor, comedy and wackiness of the story.It was nice seeing Robin Williams in one of his earlier works, playing an alien named Ork as he investigates planet Earth for his superiors back in his home planet.Williams definitely has that goofiness, and sometimes nonsensical, comedic side to him and it works fine in this show. He has good chemistry with co-star Pam Dawber (Mindy), who welcomes the alien into her home.It's one of the fun shows to catch on Nick-at-Nite.Grade B

jwikstro I recently caught a few episodes from the last season of the series. I either forgot, took for granted, or let some of the downright obtuse references in Robin Williams' lines and/or improvisations go over my head when I originally viewed some of this in the early 80s. My brief impression upon revisit has been that this was acutely humorous, and frequently hilarious, without sinking to tastelessness, as is the wont nowadays when shows or performers run low on comic material.I think maybe I was going through my early teens' "I'm too cool for this" stage when these originally aired. As others have stated, Pam Dawber was perky with never seeming to be saccharin, and she even had a certain "je ne sais quoi" that is quite wholesome. Jonathan Winters' turn on the show was inspired, and they had numerous great guest stars as the show went on, a la everyone wanting to be on an episode of "Batman" 15 years earlier, another show which is also funnier upon adult revisit. Inspired writing, some of which may have been Williams' improv, as I have been watching a lot of the last season and he would have been given some leeway by then. I too recall that at the time, I thought the last season was a dip in form. Perhaps having been starved of any truly inspired comedy of late, I am appreciating that this is a relative feast in the comedy sense. (I just read the Trivia section, which notes that Winters and Williams were given explicit license to improvise in parts of the scripts for the last season. Also, Conrad Janis' comments about Robin Williams are enlightening, as he was well liked by the cast. All this comes through in the positive overtone of the episodes that I recently viewed).I am downloading episodes from all the seasons to further explore. As another reviewer stated, some of the early episodes made more use of Mork's alien nature as the butt of jokes, so that is the juvenile, silly part I was remembering. By the 4th season, Robin Williams' character had become more earth-friendly, so he could reasonably make all these great jibes about Turlock, Marshall McLuhan, chewing lanolin, Eddie Fisher's bad marital luck, etc.. By then, Williams had carte blanche to improvise, and he ran with it, but many of us had turned off to the show by then.Hurray for Antenna TV for preserving these tasteful, uplifting gems of comedy! It is a few leagues above those American sitcoms which all seem generic starting at about ~2000, which are dire in comparison.

shannon shannon Watching robin williams in this show throw epileptic fits and spout incomprehensible gibberish was the equivalent of being entertained by the village fool. The series was utterly unwatchable by anyone with a semblance of intelligence. One could annoint this series as the beginning of robin williams so called "comedy" routines (which mainly consisted of - throwing epileptic fits and spouting incomprehensible gibberish).However, in his serious dramatic roles, the man was credible. "Jacob The Liar" comes to mind, and "Jumanji".The show was (and always will be) a hideous abomination in the annals of television.

forestbreeze40 Mork and Mindy 1978(only) is a warm-hearted and often poignant show. Although Robin Williams was the star, Pam Dawber created perhaps the most positive portrayal of a young woman in TV history. She is nurturing, always supportive, understanding, tolerant, and dresses with impeccable style. The season contains two episodes that reach the level of art: the famous"Window Scene" from "A Mommy for Morky", and "Mork's Mixed Emotions", its' most explosive sexual episode. There is a depth to Mork and Mindy's relationship that plays with the viewer's heart. The couple refers to each other as best friends, but the show is rife with sexual innuendos. Their chemistry is apparent from the first episode, and the show plays with terms such as "living together", "spent the night", and so on. But there is clearly a wonderful bond between them, and both of them grow as individuals, because of their special relationship.
