Mork calling Orson... Come in, Orson...

We went to the library today and one of the things my daughter Kerstin checked out was the first season of "Mork and Mindy" on DVD.
Both girls have been howling with laughter as Mork from Ork wears earthling clothes backwards, answers the telephone by picking up the toaster and drinking orange juice with his finger.
It seems odd that they have never seen "Mork and Mindy" before, but then again, they weren't around in 1978 when the show started and haven't been interested in old sitcoms until recently.
I am enjoying watching Robin Williams at work. He was so manic during those early days and his word association ad libs visibly take Pam Dawber by surprise.
Now that he is a film star, it's easy to forget when Robin Williams breathed new life into television. Watching these early episodes reminds me.
Nanu! Nanu!
