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.
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Robin Williams as Mork - funny even then..
We have all of the DVDs - our only regret is that the Mork show was only on tv for a few seasons.Robin William in his early days - extremely funny from the beginning and Pam Dauber is wonderful as Mindy too!
Rating:  - what a classic
This show is it for classic comedy who doesnt like Robin Williams,got this free with my pepsi points,would love it if the other seasons were available too.
Rating: - Hilarious
I had never seen Mork and Mindy before receiving this DVD set. We invited a few members of the family over and watched the complete season. I'd never heard so much laughter from them. I was nicely impressed by Robin Williams's earlier work.
Rating:  - The DVD's are damaged
It would be great to give a review.Unfortunately the DVD's are damaged and unplayable. I was barely able to watch 5 minutes of it.Those 5 minutes were entertaining.
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.
