Anyone else watching this movie? The actor playing Robin Williams is great. He has the voice and mannerisms down pat. I wonder what the real Robin williams thinks.
This isn’t one of those “Pretend it’s 1979 and the show just came out” threads, is it?
No, it’s a TV-movie on NBC about Robin Williams’ breakout role as Mork, also dealing with Williams’s cocaine problems.
Doesn’t this sort of thing usually come on E!?
If so, then why would the OP refer to “the actor playing Robin Williams”? 
Wow does this suck.
I watched a few seconds of it, and the actor playing Robin Williams irritated the crap out of me, just like the real Robin Williams, so I guess that’s a vote of confidence, right?
Wait a minute. You’re tellin me Robin Williams did cocaine ??? I’m shocked. Shocked I tell you. (Any chance we could get him hooked on qualudes…or anything else that might get him to sit down and shut up?)
Bubbadog wanders in and says," I thought that the guy nailed the Robin Williams persona perfectly, found the Movie to be interesting even though the scriptwriting was dull and unlike some of the opinions posted here I like Robin Williams.
My favorite part was when the actor playing Robin Williams got out of a limo and heavy tipped a street performer who was playing Robin Williams.
I wonder if Robin was watching and got a little of that infinite mirror effect?"
Or a Malkovich effect.
Williams Williams Williams, Williams Williams Williams Williams. Williams! Williams Williams Williams Williams Williams.
Wow those ABC execs were dick heads…at least according to the NBC movie
Drippy glurgy movie with sappy strings it was like watching one of the bad Robin Williams movies. (Patch Adams comes to mind)
So when do John and Jim Belushi, Whoopi Goldberg, Roseanne and Billy Crystal get their made for TV biopics?
Are you trying to say that all these peoples did coke or that they were all on Mork and Mindy?
Roseanne has had a made for TV biopic. John Belushi’s had a big screen biopic and been portrayed in a TV biopic of Gilda Radner. I can’t fathom anybody wanting to see Crystal or Jim Belushi’s life on film anymore than wanting to see them on screen. Whoopi Goldberg will probably have a made for TV biopic on a “Charlie Murphy’s True Hollywood Stories” episode of Chapelle’s Show.
::smacks Charlie Murphy in forehead with Celie ring::
“Ceeeeeeeliiieeeeeeee!!!”
I didn’t watch it; but does anyone else, when they think of Pam Dawber, think Porkin’ Mindy?
There’s been a bunch of those TV show mini-pics lately:
Surviving Gilligan’s Island: The Incredibly True Story of the Longest Three Hour Tour in History
Behind the Camera: The Unauthorized Story of ‘Charlie’s Angels’
Behind the Camera: The Unauthorized Story of ‘Three’s Company’
I’m ashamed to admit that I’ve seen all of them. :o
Oooh, look! Also coming out this year is Behind the Camera: The Unauthorized Story of ‘Diff’rent Strokes’…
The real Robin Williams wasn’t able to stop talking long enough to figure out whether the guy portraying him was any good.
I thought that one was particularly good (and I walked away loving Natalie “Mrs. Howell” Schafer).
