Did Anybody Else Think The "Orson Report" At The End Of Each Episode Was Sappy??? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

"Mork calling Orson; come in, Orson. Mork calling Orson...come ...In...Orson

Did anybody else think the Orson report was a bit unnecessary? I guess it was supposed to give a positive message at the end of each show. I have no problem with the positive message, but, I did find the Orson Report after each episode a bit too sugary sweet. Agree? Disagree?

I guess I never thought about it one way or the other. I do like the way "The Orson Report" sounds - official and political, like the Drudge Report.

Yeah I guess you are right

I am guessing that is what the end of the episode was called.

I always thought those reports were fun. (and funny!) Especially when Mork was calling Orson "Your Fatness" and other similar nicknames!!

catlover79 · 04-23-2011, 11:21 PM

I thought they were rather fun myself.

old grouch · 04-24-2011, 09:50 AM

Does anybody know who did the voice of Orson???

catlover79 · 04-24-2011, 06:03 PM

Ralph James supplied the voice of Orson.

I always liked them. I suppose they had a sappy factor to them from time to time.

Ryan Chamberlain · 08-15-2014, 04:08 PM

Disagree. I loved his reports to Orson (The big fat guy in the sky)

If you think about it. Orson was kinda his version of God. Deep.

QTMcWhiskers · 04-05-2018, 12:06 PM

I liked them. They were 4th wall breaking suggestions, most having something of value to say that most shows of the day had not said or would not say. Which worked because M&M was a fish out of water series when most of the time were being flagrantly escapist away from issues.

Buit it was nice to have both escapism and the occasional strong message.

Chocolate Moose · 04-08-2018, 05:27 PM

i hated it and always skipped them.

Ohio8 · 04-15-2018, 08:56 PM
