I feel like I'm the only one who really LOVED this show...

Please gimme a reply so I know I'm not alone! I loved this show the whole way through and I might have possibly gotten really emotional several times and especially at the very end...

I loved all the characters, thought it was super funny and clever, love Robin Williams, and enjoyed the general story/setting.

I absolutely loved it and still re-watch it.

Robin Williams can make you laugh no matter how many times you watch him (God Rest in Peace) and I've always loved Sarah Michelle Gellar plus the show just made you smile. I was definitely sad to see it gp.

I really loved this show too. It made me laugh out loud every week! And I'm especially grateful to this show because it introduced me to the comedic talents of Hamish Linklater. He was really my favorite character on the show. I was sure that if the show continued, he and Sarah Michelle Gellar's character would end up together. How it breaks my heart that Robin Williams is gone. Really, I loved every single thing about this show -- the witty banter, the great chemistry among ALL the main characters, the gay partner being played by such an unlikely actor, James Wolk's Zack and his incredible ego, and even "Mindy" and "Mork" together again.....

I can't help thinking that Robin Williams might still be alive if the show hadn't been canceled.....

Why do you think this? He had Lewy Body Dementia and it was progressing quickly. There's a good chance he wouldn't be alive today anyway. Or if he were, he would be severely, severely diminished.

Assuming the canceling of the show had anything to do with his death is just appallingly simple thinking. Given his illness and the fact that he evidently knew something was very wrong with him, I'm inclined to think he pulled the plug on the show himself.

Kind of a harsh response, dude, for someone basically just expressing they miss Robin Williams.

I did, too. This show was great.

My parents made sure I was able to see each episode of the series. Mainly because Robin Williams is my favorite comedian.

Nope, you're not alone. I was completely bummed out when the show was canceled - and I still wake up with that damned "Sydney, You're So Fine" song stuck in my head sometimes - like today! David E. Kelley tends to amass amazing ensembles, pithy writers, and wrangling Williams was a pretty astounding feat considering he hadn't done weekly TV in 30 years and was literally losing his mind. Mork was my childhood hero, I'd already discovered the awesomeness of Hamish Linklater, and it took this role to finally make me like Sarah Michelle Gellar (whom I felt terrible for when Williams died). Wish The Crazy Ones had lasted longer, but at least we got a full season.

Assuming the canceling of the show had anything to do with his death is just appallingly simple thinking.

It wasn't until LONG after Robin died that information surfaced about his health. I didn't think it was out of the question to consider the show's cancellation a factor then, and I still don't now. If it had been renewed for another season, the odds of him killing himself might've been lessened. Regardless, it really sucks that there's a sort of (in the words of Mork) "heavy sigh" connotation with Robin Williams' name now thanks to the way he exited this life.

Came here to say the same. Couldn't see it when the show aired because I don't have paid tv and live outside of USA. I am now catching up through Netflix. It is so funny. I just laugh out loud home a lot of times.

Just unhappy they ended it after just one season. Like everyone, maybe RW health was bad and they had to.

This was one of the VERY few recent shows I adored. Robin Williams and Sarah Michelle Gellar were the perfect combo. I faithfully watched each episode.
