Very good show.
Young Robin Williams getting to really show that zany side of himself.
A big help in launching his career.

I grew up with Mork And Mindy. It's one of my favourite shows ever...it's so f***ing weird, I can't help but love it.

It was 1978. Even if he was I ain't the judge.

I believe he was on coke, by his own admission.
Mork and Mindy was Robin Williams at his improv best.

Don't call my favorite tv show when I was 5 years old weird!
I think most people are jaded because now all sit-coms are based in a more realistic situation.

I always thought it was funny that Williams got the job by sitting on his head during his audition.

Great show. I remember watching episodes when I used to be on Nick & Nite when I was a wee lad.
Adding this show to the evergrowing list of TV DVDs box sets I want to pick up.

Ten years of a show based in NYC and we only see four non-white people? M&M was an interesting show. Odd finale that was more action oriented than comedy. |

Wonderful show. PERFECT for Robin Williams. Here was a show that got to show him almost childlike, only he was an alien that was not familiar with the ways of earth and he needed people to show them, of course he showed the people of earth a lot too. One of the funniest bits to me was when he walked into a bank and saw a pen on a chain and asked it if it had gotten in trouble for writing bad checks  The show lost steam in the 2nd season when the network abruptly decided to change the supporting cast and the location of the hangout from the record store to the deli-it was totally uneeded and an example of a bunch of executives trying to fix something that wasn't broken. Still a fantastic show |
