It is a performances centric movie

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

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.

If ever Robin Williams shone it was in this sitcom from the 70's/early 80's where he played an alien sent to Earth to learn about us.The 1st season is where all the best moments are. Slapstick, verbal humour, and some decent storytelling too.However, for some odd reason (and even odder when you consider that sitcom legend Garry Marshall was involved) the show got tinkered with in Season 2 onwards, with the plots becoming more about issues. And the less said about the 'Mork meets Robin Williams' episode the better.Of course Williams is fantastic, but credit also to Pam Dawber, who manages to keep a straight face throughout, which can't have been easy.It's a shame the show changed. I agree with other reviewers who say buy the 1st season DVD and forget the rest.

The television show "The Happy Days" had an episode which is used in many shows. It is called "jumped the shark", basically an episode that is the beginning of the end for a show as this is the point in the show that the ratings start to go down and the episodes become really weak. Sometimes there is room for debate as to when this happens in a show, and sometimes it is hard for me to say when it occurred for a particular show. However, it is easy for this one, it is when Mork and Mindy got married. After that the show just got to bizarre with the birth of their child and the strange way the show ended. I would think there was some rule that all shows involving aliens ended with an ending that really did not conclude the show in a satisfying way. "Alf" had the same kind of end, however I do believe "Third Rock from the Sun" ended in a more conclusive way. This show was great though up until that point as this is one of the few Robin Williams vehicles that I enjoyed watching. His energy and craziness does not detract from this show as it often does in his movies, but rather enhances it. Pam Dawber plays the perfect straight woman to his madness as she must withstand an onslaught of questions and trying to get him used to things on our planet. Sometimes the show got a bit to sappy, and at others downright strange, but for the most part the show worked. There was even one that was a bit scary when I saw it as a child where a house was haunted and Mork got possessed or something. Then there was the strange one where he shrunk that was oddly unfunny when he was in the strange universe. However, my favorite episodes were the simpler ones. One of my favorite gags was when he learned about arguments from some guy who owned a deli with his sister and how great it was when they made up so Mork proceeds to start a fight with Mindy by taking the spaghetti she made for dinner and slamming it against the wall yelling "You expect me to eat this slop!". When Mirth was born the show was just becoming to strange as I did not care for the fact Mork got pregnant as he may have been an alien and they may have been able to give birth, but what exactly could Mindy have done to get him that way? Basically, a great show for three seasons that got to weird its fourth.

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.
