Mourning Mork

As a kid, "Mork and Mindy" was one of my favorite TV shows. I remember tuning in to GMA-7 in the evening and anxiously waiting for the program to start. I also remember that Pam Dawber was the prettiest girl on TV, and Robin Williams was the funniest alien on planet Earth.

There were so many iconic moments on the show. And Robin Williams defined those moments.

From Mork's egg-shaped space ship to his alien hand sign. From his penchant for wearing suspenders to his penchant for saying "Nanu-nanu." Needless to say, this show helped shape my perception that there might really be life beyond our planet. And that aliens were probably the funniest and goofiest creatures ever.

This show was my first introduction to the comic genius that is Robin Williams. And as the world mourns his death, "Mork" is how I'll always remember him.

Crazy thing called Advertising

Unlike a lot of my friends from Advertising, I'm not a big fan of advertising-themed TV series. I mean, I live in that crazy world everyday, so why would I want to watch it once I get home from work?

The only exception would probably be that reality show entitled "The Pitch." Now that's a lot of fun to watch. Then again, it's a reality show, not a drama nor comedy series. So, maybe it still doesn't count.

But as I was browsing youtube, I found a trailer that might just change my mind:



The craziness of Robin Williams. The charm of Sarah Michelle Gellar. A comedy set in an Advertising Agency.

Sold!
