Mork & Mindy has quietly become one of the more dependable comedies currently available. The 4-season run is exactly the right length for what it is doing. With 161 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Robin Williams's performance alone is worth the time investment. Available now — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

Mork & Mindy is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. Mork & Mindy gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. A wacky alien comes to Earth to study its residents and the life of the human woman he boards with is never the same. Robin Williams and Pam Dawber lead a cast that never overplays a joke. The series ran for 4 seasons (1978–1982), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. What keeps Mork & Mindy from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.
