A lot has already been said about Robin Williams. And why it's bad that he's dead. Remains the view that the best humour cannot exist without an inky black background. Humour, then, is an ideal tool to master your dark side. The darker, the more humour, so. Stephen Fry talks about the extremities of this phenomenon: bipolar disorder.
Robin Williams also suffered from bipolar disorder.
But in 1978, we didn't know that. It all started with the dark but starlit backdrop of outer space, where the planet Ork hovers. The place where Mork came from. I think Mork and Mindy was the first scifi comedy that was actually funny. And that mainly thanks to Robin Williams.

The very first one. Nice and slow.
