Martian Love

The Martian Mork  
Loved the American Mindy 
   He -- animated, yet robotic-formal
   She -- cute, though annoyingly normal

I am so glad to hear of your friend! I understand that Williams was found to have Lewy Body disease which causes a type of dementia... poor man. I think all America loved him.

Oh, I didn't know that he had Lewy Body disease. So, if he had dementia, then... I guess he could have despaired of all hope. Poor soul!!! Thanks for the information and the education, P.S! :) gw

Yes, you are so right, nette. And I've recently watched a few clips of some shows from 1973-74--WOW! 'Out-of-this-world' funny. R.W. was a comedic master---and a fine 'serious actor' to boot. Thanks for the encouragement. :) gw

What fun that show was! A strange spin off from “Happy Days” I think...but can’t imagine now how that worked! Felt punched when I heard of Robin Williams death... He was genius and brightened our lives with his talented antics.

Wow. Me, too. Felt as if I had been sucker-punched in the stomach! ... In Robin's case, his death was esp. tragic because he ended things himself. He didn't have to: I had a college friend who was depressed for 21 years (!), age 40 - 61, and now he's living a wonderful life. Robin, you shouldn't have....

Hi Gershon, I enjoy the re-runs of this show. Robin Williams was one of my favorite comedians/ actors:-) Alexis

Oh, aren't they just terrific?! Have you watched the one in which Mindy's jealous of Robin going out on a date and asks him for a blow-by-blow account. It's to die for... :) gw
