Ah yes, “Mearth”. One of the rules of “jumping the shark”: introducing a new kid into the mix...
Robin Williams “sold high” for sure.
Yes, since it followed M&M, that’s how I must have watched it (or parts of episodes).
It was already dropping to the bottom before Winters came on the scene. I thought he was a hoot, but I didn’t realize he was really slumming it. Of course, it’s amazing that drugs didn’t destroy Williams’ career early on. Perhaps there was a double standard for male actors... they could look the other way (and let’s face it, M&M was a kid’s show, which made it even worse), yet if it was an actress... poor Lauren Tewes got kicked to the curb and never recovered her career.
