Mork & Mindy - The Complete First Season

So sorry to see Robin pass away, had to have a reminder of where he started out. I laughed so hard watching this I was rolling on the floor. Probably the best Mork and Mindy series to own, but some people have trouble keeping up with Williams since he is so fast and I'm sure half of what he says and does is impromptu. I had a great time and some fond memories come back with this. Yeah some of the stuff is corny and lame, but I forgot about characters like Exodoor and Bickley and a very early appearance by David Letterman that is hysterically funny. Also an early appearance by a very young and lovely Morgan Fairchild too. Some funny references to watergte, segregation, and incidents in Iran ("we can go to Iran and watch the governments change" "I'm knitting a new shawl for Iran" etc.) If you have bipolar depression you can totally relate to the Mork character who can go from little kid to whacky to insane to melodramatic in under 30 seconds. Plus some interesting episodes where Mork talks about sadness, loneliness and the last episode is about the death of a caterpillar that I think we would all look at now in a special way, maybe this is how Robin would behave at his own "funeral" (which again is a blast). I don't remember the rest of the other seasons being as funny, and the episodes in this one get better as the season moves along. I love his impersonations of a charismatic minister, a police officer, a cowboy, and the way he fights without violence (we could all learn from that). Also don't miss Mork's Mixed Emotions which was rated by T.V. guide at one time as one of the top episodes to watch of a t.v. show (includes a brief nod to Steve Martin). One note about this particular disc is that there are no subtitles (perhaps no typist could keep up with Robin or understand half of what he says which is jibberish)but I wish I could understand what is being said at times because it's so fast. A must have for fans of Robin Williams. Also includes a flashback to his "Happy Days" appearance with the Fonz. Gotta have it. Robin we miss you and look forward to seeing you again in paradise. Til then, laugh along with this. Robin, thanks for the memories.

I like this series as a child when I first saw it on DVD. I'm glad I got this since it was cheap. If you're a huge robin Williams fan, I recommend getting this show if you want a good laugh.

Hats off to the fine folks at Paramount for releasing this jewel of a DVD set. The color is great, as is the sound. I also love the fact that the cases are slim, not bulky like most DVD sets. Robin Williams and Pam Dawber play off of each other so well, even while he was in his spontaneous hyper-excited adlib mode. The guy is an absolute comic genius, with a heart of gold. I was 20 years old when this show first aired, and I am suprised watching it today at how much of the subtle humor I missed as Williams attacked the shallow culture of the times. I love the lesson at the end of each episode in the guise of "reporting to Orson." I don't think a show like this could survive today, with our sophisticated diet of special effects and reality show selfishness. I wonder if anyone who wasn't around in the 70's would fully understand the humor, as I have watched it with some younger friends and I had to explain some of it. In any event, there is more than enough humor to keep you rolling on the floor. Worth buying, and at a decent price too. Good job Paramount. Can't wait for Season 2 !!!

I really knew Robin Williams through his movies. I grew up watching Aladdin, Good Will Hunting, Jumanji, Hook, and Dead Poets society, and after hearing about his passing, I was heartbroken, thinking a huge part of my childhood was taken away from me. My family and I mourned watching his movies, and I went a little further when I researched Robin's life. Mork and Mindy was apparently what sky-rocketed Robin's Career, and my god, when they started showing reruns of Mork and Mindy on the television the weekend after his death, I was hooked right away. Robin truly was a genius with his improvisational skills, and really, it was much more entertaining than most of the crap they show on tv nowadays. Bought this DVD set right away, along with season 2 & 3. ( Shame how season 4 isn't available for purchase!) I'll keep these discs with me as long as I live, show them to my children in the future because this series is truly a gem. Rest in peace Robin Williams, you were sensational, and we'll keep you alive in our hearts!

First season...where Robin Williams became my first love! Mork was (and is) the epitome of what every man should be,imo. Love this series,I could watch it 24/7. My son tells me I am lucky to have grown up when Robin was getting so famous,and yanno,he is right! Best actor/comedian ever,Pam was a great Mindy,they worked so well together.Because my real name is Mindi,I did spell it with a Y way back when,then rebelled for some weird reason n changed it, I would always be asked "Where's Mork?" Always made me giggle. Answer was-"Ork!" I still have people ask me that,its a lil bittersweet now, I have to say "Flying between heaven and Ork". Robin's passing was such a heartbreak,there will never be another as sweet,funny and hilarious as he was. RIP Robin! Nanu nanu!

Having just made my DVD player multi region a few weeks ago i joined this site having only used the uk version before. I remember when i was young watching this show on reruns in the 1980's it was great and funny and launched Robin Williams career all the the gags from the na-nu na-nus to the shazz botts make it a great show and well funny mork from ork became a household name even though Pam Dawber would almost vanish from the public eye only appearing in the odd movie from time to time over the years her performance of mindy would be well worth the watch and of course not to forget morks humourous reports to orson that would become classics i cant wait to see it again

got it on time . love this showgreat family fun. my family gets together every time we see this show

I remember when I watched this series when it originally aired, laughing my head off. It was great then and is great now. It is also sad, in a way, as I seem to see the innocence in Robin Williams' eyes and hope for acceptance. I miss him very much.

Lamento que ofrezca traer la traducción al español y no sea posible instalarlo. Es obvio que divierte contemplar los inicios de este gran actor.

Good

Die DVD`s erinnern an gute alte Zeiten. Sind witzig und der junge Robin Wiliams war für mich super. Das das ganze in Englisch reizt mal wieder die Sprachkenntnisse aufzufrischen.

love Mork and Mindy.

Il prodotto in sè era buono ed è pervenuto entro il 12 settembre, ma purtroppo è inutilizzabile in quanto trattasi di dvd non leggibili nella nostra regione!
