DVD Reviews of Mork & Mindy - The Second Season

DVD Review: Mork & Mindy-The Second Season
Summary: 5 Stars

This was one of my favorite series to watch when I was younger. Now my daughter loves it as much as or more than I ever did. It's good comic relief when you need it!

DVD Review: Funny but not hysterical.
Summary: 4 Stars

I bought the Mork and Mindy- The Second Season because I enjoyed the first season so much,I laughed so hard at times I had tears in my eyes,the second one is funny at times but not as hysterical as the first season. Some of the highlights of the second season is when the charactor Exidor is in the episodes,he brings an extra crazyness that seems to be missing at times in the second season.It still is worth the money if you enjoy seeing the genious that is Robin Williams.I started watching it for the second time and am enjoying it more.The first two disks seemed to be missing something from the first season and that was alot of the costars from the first season(Mindy's father and grandmother and the little boy Eugene known as "Plasma" to Mork who I thought was great on the show).

DVD Review: Mork & Mindy - second Season
Summary: 5 Stars

I grew up with this TV Show. I always loved to watch it when it was on. Now I can watch it when ever I want with it on DVD. Without having to watch theshows that are on the TV stations without them hacking the shows to bits.

DVD Review: Mork and Mindy
Summary: 3 Stars

This series is a clasic.
I had a major crush on Pam Dawber at the time of this series.
This series is funny but, strange.
When the studio releases seasons 3 and 4 then, I will buy the complete series. To many shows are released on dvd, that never finish.
Examples: Charlies angels, Alias Smith & Jones, The Partridge Family, Here come the brides. Mork and Mindy, Night Gallery. Just to name a few.
If the series were released as complete series, People would buy them.

DVD Review: Mork & Mindy's Final Season, Please!
Summary: 5 Stars

CBS/Paramount, please don't stall on Mork and Mindy again when there is one season left to release! I wish you release Mork and Mindy The 4th and Final Season (1981-1982) on DVD for the Holidays of 2008. It would be great if Mork and Mindy The Final Season is released on DVD before 2008 ends. You should have the color Blue with Mearth for the cover art of the Final Season. Please release the Final Season before 2009!

Description of Mork & Mindy - The Second Season

Mork & Mindy was a spin-off from an episode of Happy Days seen in February 1978, in which an alien from the planet Ork landed on Earth and attempted to kidnap Richie. So popular was the nutty character created by Robin Williams that Williams was given his own series in the fall of 1978, and it became an instant hit. Mork was a misfit on his own planet because his sense of humor (he was heard to call the Orkan leader, Orson, "cosmic breath"). So the humorless Orkans sent him off to study Earthlings, whose "crazy" customs they had never been able to understand. Mork landed, in a giant eggshell near Boulder, Colorado. There he was befriended by pretty Mindy McConnell, a clerk at the music store run by her father, Frederick. Mork looked human, but his strange mixture of Orkan and Earthling customs--such as wearing a suit, but putting it on backwards, or sitting in a chair, but upside down--led most people to think of him as just as some kind of nut. Mindy knew where he came from, and helped him adjust to Earth's strange ways. She also let him stay in the attic of her apartment house, which scandalized her conservative father, but not her swinging grandmother, Cora.

After an out-of-this-world first season that unleashed Robin Williams, as extraterrestrial Mork from Ork, on an unsuspecting universe, Mork & Mindy fell to earth. But while season 2 is not as fresh or inspired, it is still worth revisiting to marvel at Williams, a cosmic comic force. There was nothing wrong with Mork & Mindy that a little network tampering couldn't wreck, beginning with a disco-fied version of the show's theme song. Conrad Janis and Elizabeth Kerr, who portrayed Mindy's uptight father and more far-out grandmother, are out (although Janis does return for a couple of episodes, one of them being the inevitable clip show). Jay Thomas and Gina Hecht are in as the sibling owners of the New York Delicatessen. Also joining the cast is Jim Staahl as Mindy's preppy cousin, Nelson, a city councilman candidate, prompting many Mork potshots at politicians. Tom Poston, as grumpy Mr. Bickley and Robert Donner as addled cult leader Exidor enjoy expanded roles.

If nothing else, Mork & Mindy was more ambitious in its second season, with hour-long episodes that veered from allegory (in the season opener, a shrunken Mork finds himself in a parallel universe where he joins a revolution against the Glums, who have outlawed humor) and high camp (Raquel Welch as Captain Nirvana--'nuff said--in "Mork vs. the Necrotons"). The better episodes are those in which extraterrestrial Mork is confounded by human behavior and curious customs. In "Stark Raving Mork," he picks a fight with Mindy (Pam Dawber, holding her own opposite the unpredictable Williams) thinking that it will add excitement to their relationship. In "Mork Learns to See," he befriends Mr. Bickley's blind son to experience life as he does. Mork & Mindy is of more than nostalgic interest. While the pop culture references and topical gags are stuck in the '70s (Mork manages a pun on Menachem Begin's name), Williams' physical shtick is timeless, and Mork's exuberance and innocent, child-like wonder as he tries to find his place in our world will resonate with a (na)new, (na)new generation. --Donald Liebenson
