Robin Williams brought such joy to so many people that it's heartbreaking to realize his life was so painful for him. I hope he knows just how loved he was and how missed he is.

I had the privilege of seeing a taping of Mork and Mindy. I knew then that Robin Williams was someone very special.

FRANKNSCHWEIN 9, A spinoff is when characters shown on one show are given their own show...

FRANKNSCHWEIN 9, yes it was a spinoff of happy days. the shows content has not to do with being a spinoff, its the characters that appear on one show and then their own show is created due usually to the popularity of the character(s) when being on the original show.

I used to live next to Robin. My hair on my arms would stand on its ends and I’d loose all proprioception. So weird. Fun topiary.

I met Robin when he came into our village market… he lived near my parent’s home… I was standing in line at the check-out counter when he came up behind me and did his Mork improv, trying to pick me up! … my mom was there, too, so I introduced them both… and I made a new and wonderful friend that day…still miss him terribly…

brainiac61, Mork was on Happy Days (I think) once, then he had his own show set 20 years later. Time travel maybe??

Suekirider, We grammar nazis are always going to get a thumbs down; we are the vast minority, unfortunately.

How about Pam Dawber? She did a terrific job and is pretty easy on the eyes.

Player #14521265, Thanks. I didn't remember that and wondered what the circumstances were under which Mork appeared on Happy Days.

I met Robin back in the 1980s in Hershey Pennsylvania I was working on a film and he had a show in town and we stayed the same hotel. And worked with him in the early 1990s he will always be one of my favorite actors to work with

And Pam Dawber appeared on her husband's, Mark Harmon, show. In 2021 she was on NCIS. Hadn't seen her in years.

Player #14521265, You knock me off my seat . I had not seen that episode in decades. I remember that. haha. So great! Not traditionally a spin-off.

how can it be spinoff if neither character were on Happy Day?

Sandyberry, if I remember right and I'm not sure that I do, I think it was one of Fonzie's dreams. and then after he wakes up Robin Williams shows up at his door

FaithfulReader, that seems to be the case with a lot of comedians in particular.

OpalScorpio51942, when using the word "to" to describe a too early event is spelled "too". Correct grammar is my pet peeve. Sorry!

brainiac61, and if that's not confusing enough for you... if you watch NCIS..Mindy is married to Gibbs

I got it right, even though I honestly don't remember Mork being on Happy Days. AND, it was almost a trick question, seeing as L & S was a spin-off of HD too! Robin was truly a comedic genius! AND- Mindy was and IS a GORGEOUS woman! Ol' Gibbs got lucky! :-)

HotScottyD, Mork appeared on Happy Days as an alien.
