Feels that way to me, too. I think the vast majority of us were "M&M" viewers. I remember the episode of Happy Days when Mork was introduced, that inspired the spin-off.
Summer, that's what I loved about him: those mad, stream-of-conscious ad libbed routines! He was the first comedian to make me laugh out loud when I was alone. Thank you for brightening lonely, late-70s Thursday nights for me, Robin. You will be sorely missed.
Minnesota in the summer is lovely. Robin reportedly was suffering from serious depression. If I'm remembering correctly, this is not the first time. He just lost the battle this time around.
It is very sad to hear about someone committing suicide. Having suffered from depression and contemplating my end with a plan ready to execute, I know how easy it could be to put the plan in to action. I feel fortunate that I chose not to die. This was forty years ago and for the last twenty I have been been taking medication. It's too bad Robin wasn't able to tame his demons that led him down this path.
Robin was my favorite actor and his movies were my favorites. The combination of alcohol and depression are related. The genetic code is related. I am depressed just thinking of this.
