Synopsis:
The following is from the official DVD description:
“Mork & Mindy was a spin-off from an episode of ‘Happy Days’ seen in February 1978, in which an alien from the planet Ork landed on Earth and attempted to kidnap Richie. So popular was the nutty character created by Robin Williams that Williams was given his own series in the fall of 1978, and it became an instant hit. Mork was a misfit on his own planet because his sense of humor (he was heard to call the Orkan leader, Orson, “cosmic breath”). So the humorless Orkans sent him off to study Earthlings, whose “crazy” customs they had never been able to understand. Mork landed, in a giant eggshell near Boulder, Colorado. There he was befriended by pretty Mindy McConnell, a clerk at the music store run by her father, Frederick. Mork looked human, but his strange mixture of Orkan and Earthling customs–such as wearing a suit, but putting it on backwards, or sitting in a chair, but upside down–led most people to think of him as just as some kind of nut. Mindy knew where he came from, and helped him adjust to Earth’s strange ways. She also let him stay in the attic of her apartment house, which scandalized her conservative father, but not her swinging grandmother, Cora.”

Synopsis:
The following is from the official DVD synopsis:
“‘The Larry Sanders Show’ debuted on HBO August 1, 1992, and was ahead of its time, becoming an immediate critical and audience hit for its satirical, tongue-in-check look at Hollywood. The series that combined documentary-like camerawork with a clever blend of fact and fiction set the standard of quality for HBO and influenced the development of shows like ‘Sex and the City,’ ‘Six Feet Under,’ ‘The Sopranos,’ ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ and ‘The Office.’ over the course of its six-year (1992 – 1998), 89-episode run, the series was nominated for 56 Emmy® Awards (winning three: Outstanding Writing for Shandling & Peter Tolan, Outstanding Directing for Todd Holland, and Outstanding Supporting Actor for Rip Torn). The show also won three Golden Globe® nominations, two Peabody Awards, two TV Critics Awards and five CableACE Awards for Best Comedy Series. Unfortunately, the series never won an Oscar, a Tony or the Nobel Prize for Literature because the nominating committees received their DVD screeners late.”
