Many people have mixed feelings about this show. Some say it deserves a spot on the list of top 100 tv shows ever, and some say it sucked. I really like this show, I think it deserves to be in the top 100, maybe not top 50, but it really deserves to make the list for many reasons. Robin Williams made that show what it is, based on his comedic genius. Okay so season 2-4, weren't fantastic, but don't blame the writers or the actors, it was the people at ABC who ruined the show, because they broke the most important rule, "don't tamper with a hit." If it wasn't for that, the show could've lasted more seasons. However, season 1 was just plan brilliant. your thoughts?

I think the show deserves to be in the top 100. The first year was great and although the other 3 weren't as good, it was always entertaining.

It definitely deserves to be in the top 100. Season 1 was great and had so many classic episodes and TV Guide even named one of them "Mork's Mixed Emotions", as one of the greatest episodes in tv history. Not only that, but it made Robin Williams a star and it was also one of the highest rated shows during it's first season. Sure, the others season weren't as good or even half as good, maybe, but it was still a watchable show.

this show had 1 good season out of 3....hardly the deffinition of a "Top 100" show...although, anyone who likes it that much, has every right to

#1. Best show ever. M&M has been my favorite show ever since it first began. Scrubs is a close #2, and so was "Soap", but no other show has even come close.

I think the show deserves to be in the top 100 and I also didn't mind season 2 & 3. Season 4 was definately not even as good as the second season.

A nodding mention, but IMO, it's nothing stellar. Both Robin and Pam have been better. But the show does have nostalgic value (a little)
