I probably shouldn't bother to do a review. But having watched the whole series (bar a few missed episodes here and there) from season 1-4 I feel I need or want to share something.
It wasn't bad when it started, I'm taking first time around, it was funny but not the funniest of sitcoms, and Robin Williams was fun even though I felt way over the top. But I remember then and now re living the series just how it suffered from bad casting and stupid casting changes. Which is really strange for a Garry Marshal production. But except for Richard Donner as Exidor, the show must have had the worst casting director in tv history. None of the changing cast ever worked. And would suddenly appear and disappear without any explanation!
So to the final 'Gotta Run' run of episodes which was beyond ridiculous with no appearance by Mindy's dad or Exidor who could probably help their plight in some way. Why wouldn't they just go back to Ork to escape Kalnik. But why should any of this plot or writing make any sense when most of the series hardly did anyway. You could see that Robin and Pam Dawber were just going through the motions and doing what they could in the middle of the embarrassment which was these episodes. (No idea what the final aired episode tomorrow will give me but I doubt it will help heal). I think Dawber and Williams were probably glad to see the end of this sinking ship!
