Alf and Mork

I only caught a couple of episodes of Alf back when it was on the air.  It seemed to me like standard 80's TV comedy fare, but with a puppet.  As a cat lover, I had some issues with the title character's diet.  I thought that Mork and Mindy did a better job of showing life on Earth through the eyes of an alien visitor.  Of course they had the amazing talents of Robin Williams, Jonathan Winters and Robert Donner to rely upon!

Howard the Duck and Mork

I still remember Robin Williams' first appearance as Mork on a episode of Happy Days.  It made a big impression and I distinctly recall the kids at school discussing it at school the next morning.  I was at the right age to really get a kick out of his antics, so I thought that it was cool to see him cast as Popeye a few years later.  He and Shelley DuVall really embodied their roles in that one, still two of my favorite comic book character performances ever.
