I have been watching mainly because nothing else is on and trying to sample. Only part of the show I lik so far is when Mork reports back to Orson at the end.

okay, i joined just to ask this.

i've seen two episodes now that they have edited audio. specifically something Robin was saying. i can't recall the shows name, but the first one, Robin was attempting to buy a baby i believe. the line was something like "i can ask jesus (latin pronunciation hay-sus). it was clearly overdubbed, but why? what could he have said then, that we have to over-dub now? only thing i can think of is that he actually said Jesus instead of "hay-sus"

i don't remember it, but i know they over-dubbed something different from the original because you could hear the voice change during that part.

Robin Williams was sporting an obvious wig in the second episode of the Season 3 premier "Putting the Ork Back In Mork" was it because his hair was cut short and dyed for his role as Popeye???

I've been gladly watching the marathon. I wasn't home for part of the day, so I set my VCR to record certain episodes. It was like taking a walk down memory lane, haven't seen this show in years!

it was great watching the show again, but I was still a little irked at the ending of the series.

i was actually glad that SciFi chose to show "Mork Reports" after the last episode

did anyone get freaked out by ending of gotta run seeing mork n mindy plasterd on the wall i thought it was them they was dead and on the wall forever was that them r just a drawing .

i think that was supposed to be a cave drawing representing them

I think the cave painting is just a sign to show that they really were in the past. It was not a dream or anything....

The last we see of Mork and Mindy they are traveling in time. Not sure were they will go next. You could just assume they return home. Or maybe they go back early and prevent those crappy Kalik episodes from ever happening!!!

Actually maybe it was all a dream! The first time we saw Kalik was in Mork's mind. WHile Mork was trying to contact Orson....

Maybe everything that happens after that was just a mental test for Mork created by Orson???

For such a great show, the series ending sure did blow. I could almost live with the ending if it was a fade away from the cave drawing. But then to follow up with "The Mork Report" as the finale doesn't make sense.

How could they have ended the series? Mork was aging in reverse, I guess he could've used his orkan age machine to keep up with Mindy.

How about: Mindy becomes GM of KTNS, and, going along with Avilos, the Kalnik episodes were a dream. A big ole happy ending to one of the best sitcoms.

Beyond the lameness of Kalnik - Mork's reveal to the world was very, very weak!

It would have been nice to see M&M's friends and neighbors reaction. Someone like Bickley. Instead the writers went with the cliche of "Mork is a celebrity". With a Tom Synder impersonator???!!!! Did the real Synder turn them down?

It would have been fun to see Robin Williams reaction! Remember he is an actor and comedian in their world. Wouldn't this ruin his career? A look alike with a similar personality, who is also an alien!!! He would have been annoyed with all the attention Mork was getting. A Robin Williams Vs Mork rivalry would have been hilarious to see.

Or how about Richie Cunningham? By the 80s he is probably a very successful screenwriter ( and director;) ) I always figured he turned his experience meeting Mork into a movie.

those do sound real intresting to me like they was considering a tv show and that didnt make sense they schould bene concerned bou suriaving from kalas then making a tv series a dream would made mroe sense then fade in to cave drawing i though it was them at first scared the hell outof me.when i was young


n robin williams coming to confront mork about all the attention he was getting and mearth confusing him for his father would been something. 2 morks
