VividSimon Simply Perfect
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
O2D This is the type of sitcom that can seem really funny if you only watch it a few times.Upon further inspection, it is very evident that Mork is just that same boring character that Robin Williams would play for forty years.Every episode is about how little Mork knows about life on Earth, while at the same time he is constantly making witty jokes about living on Earth.How did no one ever notice?It's a sad attempt to make a lame character entertaining by assuming the people who are watching aren't very smart.And what's the deal with Mindy's dad?He's some type of professional musician who is shocked and offended by everything?A ridiculous concept.But what would you expect from a forced spin-off?If this show was any good it wouldn't have needed a fake relationship to Happy Days to make it succeed.Give this show a chance but don't try to binge watch, you'll never make it.
bregund For good or ill, this show pushed Robin Williams and his smirk into the mainstream forever. This show was Robin Williams, any other actor couldn't have pulled it off. He's one of those people that you can't look away from, like Michael Jackson or Cameron Diaz. That's not to say that after five minutes he doesn't set your teeth on edge, so they paired him with apple-pie Pam Dawber, who hasn't had a gig since then, and set the show in Denver, in a state with the most bored housewives in the country and their agenda to set America on the straight and conservative path with their loony fundamentalist drivel. Talk about an odd couple: wacky show in a narrow-minded state. Now that's fantasy.Anyway, as others have pointed out, the show started out pretty good but by the time Jonathan Winters rolled around it was like trying to accept the second Darren Stevens. As funny as Winters is, the premise didn't work. Then they brought in some unfunny pizza guy whose desperation to be funny was just pathetic. By 1981, you wondered which fourteen people in the U.S. were still watching the show and why it was still on.In short, this show was relevant to its time; at best it was an oddity, much like the astonishingly bad Green Acres. I can't imagine anyone willingly watching this program unless he happened to be studying Robin Williams's early work for some strange reason. Hey, if you want this show on DVD, then you must also want Supertrain on DVD, and Supertrain was a steaming pile.
Brian Washington The first season of this show made it the breakout hit of 1978. However, the producers came up with the bright idea of firing much of the original supporting cast (Corad Janis who played Mindy's father Fred and Elizabeth Kerr who played Mindy's grandma Cora) and replacing them with Jean and Remo DaVinci (played by Gina Hecht and Jay Thomas repectively). Another mistake that was made was by removing the broad slapstick that made the show a success and replacing it with more socially relevant stories. Things got so bad that they decided to put a twist on the old bring the cute kid trick and have Mork marry Mindy and have Mork "give birth" to a middle age baby. At least Jonathan Winters was funny in that role. Too bad it couldn't save what could have been one of the all time great sitcoms.
Op_Prime Mork & Mindy was a hilarious series that unleashed the comic talents of Robin Williams. This series began as a hilarious episode of Happy Days and ended with Mork getting his new assignment to go to the seventies. Mork even went back in another episode of Happy Days (a clip show but still funny). The series had a pretty good cast behind it, but it could have failed without Williams and his unique humor. It remains as one of Williams' best works.
