Mickey, Robin Williams was actually best in his early days, before movies. He began as the alien, "Mork From Ork" on a episode of "Happy Days", and later got his own series, "Mork And Mindy". His role as an alien was fitting because his comedic style was zany. He had a good comedy album fromt he late 1970s, too. I forget the title of the album, but I liked it a lot. He was really good in Bicentenneal Man, I think (although I disagreed with the premise as to what constitutes a person, I loved the story as thought-provoking material and I enjoyed the Asimov story "The Positronic Man" from which it was based) He really got unfunny and incoherent in his humor since about the millenium, but maybe it is related to depression or things going on in his life. I watched the premiere of "The Crazy Ones", and never tuned in again because it was wholly unfunny and dull. But if you're younger, I recommend taking a journey to view his TV work from the 1970s.
On the flip side, I don't understand why so many dwell so much when a famous person commits suicide. As a society, people seem to look up to celebrities although they're not any more special than anyone else. I'm saying this because my friend committee d suicide one day, quite recently, and he had no signs of depression and acted normal all the way up to the day it happened... no warning signs. Even talked about looking forward to an upcoming movie that day. I still can not wrap myself around this and why he did it. He's not famous, so the world won't stop and care about his life. But I remember him, but he was important to me and I just wanted to share that.
