Featured review
Great introduction of the harm of prejudice
One of the reasons I love Mork and Mindy is how the show can meaningfully address even the most controversial of subjects. Mork is the innocent and as such can offer an outsider's commentary of human behavior (both the good and the bad). Through his mistakes and the other characters' response the audience learns anew about the good and bad in people around us.
Robin Williams' comic genius shines and Pam Dawber is an excellent "straight man" to anchor Williams' quick wit and outlandish antics. In going back and watching the show again as an adult I appreciate it so much more than I did as a kid, I love that my kids can enjoy the comedy while learning important values and ideas that the show displays. This episode in particular is a great one as it addresses racism,
Mork unwittingly gets involved in a white supremacist group. At first Mork doesn't understand the harm in his "new friends" jokes and activities until they threaten to harm others including Mindy. The ending is clever and clearly illustrates the illogical, hateful and harmful ideology of racism.
This show is an under-appreciated diamond with such a great venue to see G rated work of Williams comic genius perfectly balanced by Dawber. If you haven't see it for a while, take the time to watch it again!
