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.

SnoopyStyle In one of the weirdest spin off from Happy Days, Mork (Robin Williams) is from the planet Ork. He is sent to Earth by Orson who is frustrated with his irreverent humor. At the end of each episode, Mork reports to Orson about the lesson he learned. Orkans drink with their fingers, sit on their heads, and age backwards. Mork lands outside of Boulder, Colorado and finds Mindy McConnell (Pam Dawber) abandoned by her date. He tells her about his extraterrestrial origins and becomes her flatmate. Her father Fred owns a music store in the first season which he ran with his sharp-tongued mother-in-law. Mr. Bickley (Tom Poston) is Mindy's grumpy downstairs neighbor. The second season has New York siblings Remo (Jay Thomas) and Jean DaVinci (Gina Hecht) as their restaurateur friends. Nelson Flavor (Jim Staahl) is Mindy's pompous cousin. Exidor is Mork's crazy friend with imaginary followers. The most insane and inspired choice is Mearth (Jonathan Winters), Mork's newborn in season 4, after his wacky performance in season 3 as uncle Dave.This is simply a Robin Williams original. He makes this show. The show really only works with him on the screen. Pam Dawber is cute but she is overmatched. Of course, almost anybody would be overmatched. She has a tendency to laugh at Robin's jokes and do a lot of aww-schucks. The constant changes to the cast are not helpful. The DaVinci siblings didn't do the work that the show had hoped. Nelson Flavor and Exidor are my favorite characters. There is nobody like Jonathan Winters but by the fourth season, the show had no viewers and Robin Williams had better opportunities on the big screen.

sadewolu Although I'm not really a 70's kid, I still appreciate TV shows/movies from back then as well as today's entertainment. I really love this show, and guess what? I have never seen it before in my entire life! First of all, you have Robin Williams, one of the best and most talented actors in all of Hollywood. No one---absolutely no other living soul---could ever outsmart him in playing the role of an eccentric alien from an unknown planet with a silly name such as "Ork." Robin is just very good at what he does best. Some of you may think otherwise, but he definitely is one of the greatest comedic actors of his time. Secondly, you have the lovely and charismatic Pam Dawber, on whom I'm not afraid to admit I have a small girl crush. She's just so pretty and her voice is totally gorgeous, and I think she and Robin have perfect chemistry with each other on the show. Once you watch this show, I'm pretty sure you'll love it. You may not like Robin Williams, but I'm just putting this out there for ya'll---he's just very great at what he does best.

hillary1 The only good thing about this show was Robin Williams, the rest of the cast were simply props standing around as foils for whatever he happened to be doing. While this may work well for an NBA team-see Micheal Jordan and the Chicago Bulls-it is not a good premise for a TV sitcom. The best sitcoms have had strong supporting characters-ie, "All in the Family", "Frasier", "Seinfeld", "M*A*S*H"-and there was just nothing here. Pam Dawber never displayed any comedic ability-granted she wasn't given much opportunity-and the rest of the cast may as well have been trucked in from the wax museum. The show WAS all about Robin Williams, until Jonathan Winters came along, and by then it was far too late and that whole storyline was ridiculous anyway. The only good thing that came of it was, of course, it was a springboard for a brilliant career.
