Just started watching it again on Youtube. Brings back childhood memories watching it when it was new. Half the time you dont know if Robin is follwong the script or going off on his own.

I guess Robin would improv off script so much that the other actors had a hard time getting their cues.

I used to watch the show in syndication late night on Nickolodeon. Nick at Night would show old shows like Mork and Mindy in the 90s.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By CarmelBytheSea: Don’t think I’ve seen it again since the 80s I remember he was on Happy Days too Mork and Mindy was a Happy Days spinoff. Christopher Durang wrote a piece for Carol Burnett and Robin Williams called Funeral Parlor. They performed it three times back to back to back for TV recording. The first time it was pretty much line by line as Durang wrote it. The second time he used the script as a framework but ad-libbed about half of it. Funny as hell. The third version he went full send and you could hardly see any parallels between the script and his improv work. He was way out there, man. Very impressive. |

In one interview, Johnathan Winters stopped just short of saying that Robin Williams was doing coke quite often when they were doing the series together. Originally Posted By CarmelBytheSea: Don’t think I’ve seen it again since the 80s I remember he was on Happy Days too The Mork character was first introduced on Happy Days. He had a duel with Fonzie, then time traveled forward from the 1950s to the period of the Mork and Mindy show. |

I drove past their house yesterday, but didn't see the Jeep in the driveway.
But they're doing well, I suppose, at least in terms of home equity. Zillow puts it at $3.1M. |

IIRC, When Mork asked about Christmas, I rolled my eyes thinking Mindy was going to say something about presents and Santa. When she actually talked about the birth of Jesus, the show went up in my opinion somewhat.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By jos51700: That Goddamned show is what started bringing the Californian assholes to Colorado, and then they just never went home No, no, no. In the 70’s the granola eating, greasy haired, non crotch or pit shaving Coloradans packed up their wheat germ, hopped in their VW buses and headed off to LA to find the Clampets in Beverly Hills. They infested California, not vice versa. I have proof. John Denver started singing about the Colorado Rocky Mountain High way before he died off the coast of California. Now, Californians returning to Colorado is really just a homecoming of sorts. |

I don't think I laughed as hard or consistently at something as the Mork & Mindy show. Even my dad laughed hard at that show. And he was one of those types that only watched NBA basketball games and Hee Haw.

He had some funny parts but overall it just wasn't the same. Most comedies, heck most shows, have pretty short life spans before they start getting stale. |
