Mork and Mindy: The Complete Collection [DVD]

To be able to get the whole set of all the series of Mork and Mindy including the two episodes from Happy Days in one set is just fabulous,Here the classic series is presented in fine form in a neat box set where the spine is only two inches wide.You get a lot for your money here. There are 95 episodes and there are 15 discs.The first second and third series all have grey labelled discs and the fourth series has silver labelled discs but its all here. All the discs are contained in a plastic tray box and then there is a card outer sleeve that slips over it.Mork and Mindy is a truly great American comedy from the late 1970s that has great originality. The whole show is dependent on its main stars, Robin Williams as Mork and Pam Dawber as Mindy.This was a series about a naïve alien called Mork who arrives on earth and makes friends with Mindy.This basis for a comedy was not the first time it had been used. There had been a show called "My favourite Martian" fifteen years before Mork and Mindy. That series had an alien that the human names "Uncle Martin" who visits earth and befriends a human too, and the alien also had special powers such as telepathy, invisibility, move objects by pointing, talk to animals and had a antennae on his head. But this time Mork is much more zany and the series is more frenetic. Mork is less predictable than "Uncle Martin" had been.Mork comes from planet Ork. This is "bleems and bleems away from earth". On Ork, Mork is considered odd because he has a sense of humour and when he had poked fun at "Orson", their leader, the Orkans sent him to our planet Earth as a punishment. Mork must send reports to Orson about the weird lifestyles of humans.Mork arrives in a large eggshell like spacecraft near Boulder Colorado and is discovered by Mindy who works in her dad's music shop. Mindy finds Mork intriguing with his child like ways and his wonderful kindness. Mork then lives in the attic.The series is very funny. Mork often talks gibberish, he does wacky things like sitting on his head or drinking with his finger. He struggles to understand earth ways and this leads to farcical misunderstandings.Mork and Mindy were actually a spin off from the earlier comedy series "Happy Days" in which Mork had appeared.There are other regular characters in the show such as the father of Mindy, Mr Bickley a crotchety neighbour and Exidor a UFO prophet who befriends Mork.At the end of each episode he reports to Orson and as he finishes he twists both ears and signs off with the words "Nanu Nanu" which is Orkan for goodbye.Robin Williams is perfect as Mork and he proves his talent in this original series. He creates a very special character and its interesting now to look back at the series that made him really famous. Mork is a really funny and zany character and the series is excellent.It is sad that Robin Williams is no longer with us but this DVD set shows that he lives on through what must be one of his greatest characters of all. He is just brilliant and it is so good to have all these episodes together at last.The fun of this classic comedy continues through every series so it is worth watching all the four.This is a really good entertaining DVD set. The only extra features are the two episodes from Happy Days and a gags reel. The first of these episodes from Happy Days is where we first meet Mork so it should be seen before episode one of Mork and Mindy. The character of Mork was so popular on Happy Days they gave him his own show.There are subtitles for the Hard of Hearing as well as subtitles for Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Norwegian and Sweedish.

I remember watching Mork and Mindy as a teenager (yes I'm that old). When I found the complete series for sale at less than £26 I had to buy it. This is a young Robin Williams doing what he did best.So many classic episodes but the one that sticks in my mind is him being turned into a dog by Orson.95 episodes on 15 discs, over 38 hours of fun. We've not watched them all yet but if the quality stays the same throughout I’ll be happy.I can’t wait until the children are old enough to watch them.

Had expected a full re-run on one of the TV channels following the death of Robin Williams. Alas there was not or if there was we missed them. This box set is so good for all the family to watch together. On Christmas day chose Mork's First Christmas trying to hold back the occasional tear. We were surprised at the DVD quality that filled the wide screen TV with no distortion that I could spot (on a DVD Player costing less than £50). We rarely watch anything more than once but this will be watched over and over with friends and family

It would have been perfect but for one thing - when my order went through it came back with other items I might like and one of them was exactly this (but named differently) about £14 cheaper!

Bought this for two resons. Firstly because it is the only way you can get a region 2 copy of season 4. Secondly because of the tragic death of the comedy legend that is the late great Robin williams.This boxset contains all 95 episodes of the series and as there might not be much in bonus features as there should be but it does consist of a couple of gag reels and the two episods of happy days that introduced Robin williams as Mork.R.I.P Robin williams You can never be replaced.

Mork was my hero as a teenager , even my daughter commented that she had never heard me laugh out loud so much when i watched the first episode. This is timeless , classic humour in my opinion . 2000 hours plus viewing for £40 terrific value as well . Good quality picture and sound , if you liked this as a kid buy it and be transported back to those worry free days !

Absolutely love this, Robin Williams at his very best. Watched this as a kid & enjoyed it just as much as an adult. Pure joy.

Will look forward to watching, however when you buy something for £35 and when you open the package it has a £14.99 sticker on it from the original shop, it's a bit of a shame!
