I love Mork and Mindy, but the writers really did kill the series. The stuff to begin with was funny, but then they got way too weird. Maybe if they had a real wedding and a regular baby birth, it would have kept viewers coming back. Those two had terrific chemistry but the plots ( example Mork ejecting an egg from his naval and he and his son agin backwards????) were just way too out there, it made it so unappealing.

Mork was WEIRD right after the Pilot. TV Guide Critics GROANED at the Mork Character.

By the time they brought Jonathan Winters to the show, Mork And Minday had already run out of ideas. Changing around the supporting cast (when Mindy's Dad and grandmother were written out, replaced by Remo and Jean and their deli) in the second season really screwed things up.

There were more contributing factors: The show's storylines became "relevant and serious," and then there was the addition of T&A. According to pages 101-103 of the book The Robin Williams Scrapbook by Marianne Robin Tani, supervising producer Bruce Johnson, Pam Dawber and Robin were pretty p.o.'d at this.

Thats really what upset me. I never cared fot Remo and Jean. They tried to fix it later by bringing the dad and grandmother back but they never should have left in the first place.
