His name is Robin Williams and he's an up and coming comic on the Los Angeles comedy circuit. While on the other end of town, producer have developed a new show called Mork & Mindy, that's a spinoff to their previous hit show "Happy Days". It's in their meeting with Williams that they have found the ideal actor to play Mork. But as the show slowly turns into a hit, the story of what happened behind the camera unfolds as a young comic is suddenly handed everything he ever wanted very quickly, which affected his personal life as well as those in it. Set against the backdrop of Mork & Mindy, this is a story about a show's rise to number one, it's struggles on the production, and the rising star of Robin Williams. NBC’s “Behind the Camera” series — a compendium of movies mostly raiding ABC hits of the 1970s — goes biopic with this dissection of “Mork & Mindy,” which is really the Robin Williams version of “A Star Is Born.” With two over-the-top performances at its center — Chris Diamantopoulos as Williams and Daniel Roebuck as Garry Marshall. Beginning with Williams in his days as a San Francisco street performer, the narrative follows his meteoric rise after the fast-talking Marshall decides to introduce a “Martian” within the “Happy Days” franchise. Soon enough, he’s at the center of a major hit and neglecting his sweetheart-turned-bride (Michelle Harrison), hanging out in clubs, fooling around and partying — hard and powdery — with John Belushi (Tyler Labine). Pam Dawber is played by Errin Hayes). The movie plays like a straightforward recitation of the corrupting influence of fame. “I will not become Bob Denver,” Williams grumbles to Belushi, after drunks interrupt his club improv shtick with pleas to “Do Mork.”Even by the standards of pseudodocudrama, this latest entry goes the extra mile in the name-dropping department, as Williams receives a philosophical pep talk from a bogus Robert Evans and chafes at the censors when bogus Raquel Welch guest stars. Later, he gets wild and crazy with an even-more-bogus Jonathan Winters, who the producers hired in a feeble attempt to revive the series — and Williams’ interest — after ABC wrong-headedly bounced TV’s top-rated show to a different night.2nd DVD: Robin Williams Remembered It's a real testament to the impact that Robin Williams had on people's lives that one month after his sudden death, the comedian and actor is still being honored. The latest to pay proper tribute to Williams is the PBS documentary series "Pioneers of Television." Last night they debuted a one-hour special called Robin Williams Remembered, focuses solely on the career and influence of the Oscar-winning actor and infectious comedian. Beginning with his early years in theater and the revered school Julliard and moving through his rising fame as a comedian and into his eclectic acting career, it's a great tribute. Watch! The new one-hour special features new footage of Williams that was intended for various "Pioneers" episodes, along with new interviews featuring "Mork & Mindy" star Pam Dawber, fellow comedians Whoopi Goldberg, Louie Anderson and Jonathan winters, TV icons Jerry Stiller, Penny Marshall and Jimmie Walker and more. Filmmaker Steve Boettcher, who directed the interviews with Mike Trinklein said, "We wanted to share with PBS viewers the Robin that we saw – the very unassuming, caring, genuine and gentle man who took his acting seriously, but was able to make others laugh. We hope this special provides more insight to this incredible man, in his own words.” We're glad we keep seeing more of the man who made us laugh. Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE
