As I can't find any other way to present this, I will do so here: Mork wore rainbow suspenders, as early as the first season, 1978. Did the development of the rainbow flag, which evolved in '78-9, have any bearing on their being picked as part of his costume? Or vice versa? As Robin's club act was developed in San Francisco in the early 70s, and since he lived in Marin, it seems plausible. No study or memoir of the rainbow flag mentions even a tenuous connection.

I can see why season 4 was the final season. Don't get me wrong, I love Mork and Mindy, but the things that bothered me about the last season are, they cut Gina Hecht (Jean DaVinci) and Jay Thomas (Remo DaVinc) out completely. I liked those characters and the diner they ran. I also thought by adding the diner that it gave the show another place to go to instead of just shooting everything in Mindy's apartment. Lastly, season 4 just gets kind of weird and goes overboard with Mearth. I know everybody loves Jonathon Winters, but I didn't find him all that funny except a few times. I will definitely keep season 4 and watch it again, but the first 3 seasons really are the best. It's a shame they never had a series finale, but that's how it goes most of the time I guess. We will always love and miss you Robin Williams! Well, until next time..Nanu Nanu.

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.

For good or ill, this show pushed Robin Williams and his smirk into the mainstream forever. This show was Robin Williams, any other actor couldn't have pulled it off. He's one of those people that you can't look away from, like Michael Jackson or Cameron Diaz. That's not to say that after five minutes he doesn't set your teeth on edge, so they paired him with apple-pie Pam Dawber, who hasn't had a gig since then, and set the show in Denver, in a state with the most bored housewives in the country and their agenda to set America on the straight and conservative path with their loony fundamentalist drivel. Talk about an odd couple: wacky show in a narrow-minded state. Now that's fantasy.Anyway, as others have pointed out, the show started out pretty good but by the time Jonathan Winters rolled around it was like trying to accept the second Darren Stevens. As funny as Winters is, the premise didn't work. Then they brought in some unfunny pizza guy whose desperation to be funny was just pathetic. By 1981, you wondered which fourteen people in the U.S. were still watching the show and why it was still on.In short, this show was relevant to its time; at best it was an oddity, much like the astonishingly bad Green Acres. I can't imagine anyone willingly watching this program unless he happened to be studying Robin Williams's early work for some strange reason. Hey, if you want this show on DVD, then you must also want Supertrain on DVD, and Supertrain was a steaming pile.
