[.ca] Mork and Mindy: Season 1



From 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.


This is one of my favorite TV shows, Very Funny.:
Robin williams (Mork) is more than excellent and Mindy also. I love this show and hope that all seasons will be released so I can get rid of those old VHS I recorded some years ago. Thank you very much for making my dreams come true:).


I love MORK:
I love this show. I have since I was a little girls and I always will. I just wish they'd put out the second season. I can only watch the first season so many times before I can say the lines in my sleep. (But that won't stop me from watching it!)


"NA-NU NA-NU!":
First of all i'm only 14 years old, i wasn't even born when Mork and Mindy was around, and i still say this show is awsome as hell. Robin Williams is my favorite actor and he's acting in this show is so funny. I think the first eposide is the best eposide of the whole season 1, in fact every eposide is good. the only thing that's bad bout the dvd set is that there no special features. but i did hear that maybe in a few season there will be special features such as outtakes, interviews with the actors, and a few eposides of the Mork and Mindy animated series.
