Maybe I missed a thread on this, but I just saw a commercial for Behind the Camera: The Unauthorized Story of 'Mork & Mindy' on NBC. Seems kind of random, no? Though I did see that Chris Diamantopoulos is playing Williams. I saw him in Les Miz and The Full Monty (several times!)...guess I'll have to watch it.

I just saw the commercial, too! Surprised me.

I know! Didn't it say it was going to be on next week or something? I've never heard of it before. These celeb life story made for TV movies are so unnecessary. Though I must admit that Schwarzenegger one that was on a few weeks ago looked rather humorous from the commercials...didn't watch it though. I'm sure I didn't miss anything.

It looks like they've found a new rage. First it was Three's Company, then Dynasty, next it will be Dallas. Oh well.

The only thing more horrible than actually watching an episode of MORK AND MINDY, would be watching a movie about MORK AND MINDY. Oy!

I agree, but having seen Chris numerous times in shows, I'm sadly tempted to watch. I give it until the first commercial break before I give up on it.

Mark this in the "never needed to be made" category...

I agree. It looks awful. And I really don't see the point in drudging up all of Robin Williams' dirt again. We all moved on years ago.

When I saw the promo for this, I laughed uproariously. For 10 minutes. Reminds me of the depths that INTIMATE PORTRAIT has had to mine to continue making that show.

"A very special INTIMATE PORTRAIT: The Landers Sisters"....

Sheesh.

..and he's still alive - which is one of the main reasons I find this ridiculous. Even if he were dead, I wouldn't watch it - but - oh its just all so commercial...

It says it's the Unauthorized Story--so does that mean they made it up? What is with making all the TV movies about old shows? Who cares?
