Long Hair Or Shorter Hair?

I give up, what is PTOBIM? This board reminds me of the U2 forums that also uses a lot of acronyms for titles.
It's something very artificial about Sy's look, not just the hair, but his whole style seems so out of touch with the time he's living in. I haven't watched One Hour Photo since it's release, I remember it freaked me out.
I think Leslie Zevo's blonde hair looks more natural but it had a different color tone.
I don't remember the shaved arms, it was the werewolf fur that made me stare at his arms and hands in the first place though.
Don't tell me, it's no use to me. Tell yourself if you want to but don't tell me. -

PTOBIM - I'm guessing that's Putting The Ork Back In Mork?
As for RW cutting his hair, I think he did that for his role in The World According to Garp.
I prefer the longer hair, it made him look younger. -

I preferred the longer hair, like the way he had it in the first few episodes. As has been said, the short hair made him look older. The long hair offset the width of his face better IMO.
It was a little TOO long in "Mork's Mixed Emotions", but I don't complain because it looked great when he made it 'wild' for the scenes where Mork's emotions took over. His hair was almost a character of its own in that episode!
What got a little jarring was when his hair would be one length in the episode, another length in the 'Mork calling Orson' snippet, and a third length for his end-of-episode report to Orson. It's obvious they weren't all filmed at the same time because sometimes his hair would be long in the episode, short for the 'calling', then midlength or long again for the report. Or any combination thereof!
Pam's perm in season 4 on the other hand was really upsetting to look at. It really needed a shapely cut.
I agree! That perm was awful. Pam Dawber had very pretty hair, it's one of the things I noticed when rewatching the show recently. The late-1970s hair and fashion were very feminine and pretty. I kind of miss those days! I had a few Gunne Sax dresses, skirts and tops, they were all about satin and lace and nice flowy fabrics. Sigh. -

The one time that Robin was probably hairier than Mork was in his first scenes in Jumanji after Allen was released from the game.
Well, he was pretty hairy when he did the Broadway play "Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo." He had a beard that was bushier and fuller than the one he had in 'Jumanji.'
But you're right, the hair on his arms, chest and hands is very noticable in 'Mork & Mindy', especially since the shirts Mork wears have a somewhat low-cut neck and Williams was fair-skinned with very dark hair, even on his hands. Even as a 14-year-old I remember watching the show and thinking, "Damn, that dude is hairy!" -

I've only seen his screen appearances so i never got to see him in real life. I dont think he made his way to St. Louis Missouri too often in my life time.
His beard in Moscow On The Hudson was pretty full too. -

Maybe it's something wrong with my eyesight but I could have sworn that his hair looked shorter in the beginning of the episode and longer at the end. I thought that he maybe was wearing a very sleek wig.

Thats possible since they would have needed his hair to spontaneously grow during the Eggscorsism. Although his hair looked natural in that to me. I figured they just filmed the end first so his hair was longer.
Who knows? -

I also preferred it short, like in the engagement/wedding/honeymoon trilogy.
Though the longer hair in Mork's Mixed Emotions worked very well. It was as expressive as he was.
And I'm not sure but I think the creepy short hair from PTOBIM was because he was making Popeye.
