One of TV's greatest casting decisions was when ABC hired Winters to be Robin Williams' "son" on Mork and Mindy.
I would have given ANYTHING to be there for just one taping -- Robin Williams and Jonathan Winters together, same stage, same time -- Pam Dawber said she had never laughed as hard as when those two got rolling -- and they would even slip ad libs in when the cameras were rolling and she was biting her tongue to keep from breaking up."If I owned Texas and Hell, I'd rent out Texas and live in Hell!"Comment

You know, don't you, that Winters was Robin Williams's idol, and that it was Williams who wanted Winters on the show.Comment

I always thought that he was piss your pants funny.John Erlichman, one of President Richard Nixon's closest aides, has admitted America's "War on Drugs" was a hoax designed to vilify and disrupt "the antiwar left and black people" when it was launched in 1971.Comment

Yeah, But Networks Don't Always Do The Smart Things
I suppose Williams had enough clout at the time to get what he wanted, but in the end the network bosses still had to say yes. Williams issued a statement saying Winters was at first his idol and then his mentor."If I owned Texas and Hell, I'd rent out Texas and live in Hell!"Comment
