Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
Children who love Robin Williams as the voice of Aladdin or as Mrs. Doubtfire will get a blast out of the show that blasted him into the stratosphere, and made 'Nanoo, Nanoo' a national catch-phrase. Mork & Mindy, a spin-off of a season 5 Happy Days episode, was a tailor-made star vehicle for Williams, who won a Golden Globe for this inaugural 1978 season. The role of extraterrestrial Mork from Ork gave free reign to Williams's stream-of-consciousness riffing as Mork observed life on Earth and reported back to his leader, Orson, on all that he learned about friendship, love, family, and emotions. As Mindy, the down-to-Earth Boulder, Colorado, girl who takes the stranded alien under her roof, fresh-faced Pam Dawber does her best to keep up. When Williams is really in the (Twilight?) zone, it's not acting: she does seem like she's dealing with someone from another planet.
The highlight of this first season is 'Mork's Mixed Emotions,' a tour-de-force that TV Guide ranked among the top 100 TV episodes of all time (#94, to be exact). Mork believes that emotions are bad, and tries to lock them inside himself, but they are unleashed in a lusty, happy, weepy, angry, envious torrent. Helping to launch Williams as a primetime player in the series pilot are Henry Winkler and Penny Marshall in their iconic roles as the Fonz and Laverne. Another notable guest star in season 1 is David Letterman as an abusive EST-like guru in 'Mork Goes Erk.' Mork & Mindy rapidly jumped the shark, and much of the '70s sitcom trappings have not aged well, but this first season is a giddy time capsule record of Williams at his most spontaneous and out of this world. Shazbot--the set contains no extras. --Donald Liebenson.
Description:
A spin-off from the hit show 'Happy Days,' MORK & MINDY stars Robin Williams as the lovable alien from the planet Ork. Sent to Earth by his fellow Orkans who see him as a misfit, Mork is assigned to observe the customs of the crazy Earthlings. Landing in a giant eggshell in Boulder, Colorado, Mork is soon befriended by Mindy McConnell (Dawber) a music store clerk, and allowed to stay in the attic of her apartment.

Rating:  - mork is not dork
out standing first season. as funny as i remember. but, seeing the dude with the monk hair cut in some of the series i cringed. he was and is still not funny to me.
pam dawber stills brings back good memories, what a looker. and of course we get a look into the comic genius of robin williams. i understand this season did not sell well.
Rating:  - Mork & Mindy's Final Season, Please!
CBS/Paramount, please don't stall on Mork and Mindy again when there is one season left to release! I wish you release Mork and Mindy The 4th and Final Season (1981-1982) on DVD for the Holidays of 2008. It would be great if Mork and Mindy The Final Season is released on DVD before 2008 ends. You should have the color Blue with Mearth for the cover art of the Final Season. Please release the Final Season before 2009!
Rating: - Wonderfully entertaining
I remembered watching Mork & Mindy as a child and loving it. I bought it for my family because network tv has NOTHING to offer. As a child I remember watching sit coms with my parents we had two nights a week we would have popcorn and watch shows. Tuesdays Happy Day's & Laverne and Shirley. Friday Dukes of Hazzard and Loveboat. I have never sat with my kids and watched anything on network tv.
Robbin Williams is a comic genius in this and my son, 11 loves it! Along with the comedy, the show also provides a human lesson, something modern tv is lacking.
Rating: - Mork and Mindy, the complete first season
