Celebrate the Comedic Genius of Robin Williams with One of Three Sets from Time Life
I don’t typically get that worked up when a celebrity passes away, but there are a handful that have been (and will be) terribly hard to accept. One of those was Robin Williams, who I’m sure needs no introduction to any of you.
I grew up watching him causing shenanigans as Mork from Ork on Mork & Mindy, and I never missed a showing of Popeye on television, so I can honestly say I’ve been a Robin Williams fan my entire life. We lost him far too soon, but there is so much of his life’s work available to make us laugh and remind us how special he was.
His catalog of work is seemingly endless, and if you tried to collect it all on your own, you’d be busy for a very long time. Fortunately, Time Life has done the leg work for us and has created a fantastic selection of collectors sets just in time for the holidays.
Time Life’s Robin Williams: Comic Genius compilations come in three different options: a single disc, a 5-disc set, and a whopping 22-disc set.
The single disc features Robin’s first HBO stand-up special. The 5-disc set Comic Genius collection retails for $54.98 at Walmart and features the best of the best: all five of his HBO specials in full. Included are Off the Wall (1978), An Evening with Robin Williams (1983), An Evening at the Met (1986), Live on Broadway (2002), and Weapons of Self Destruction (2009). There are more than 13 hours of uproarious laughter to enjoy. The 5-disc set also includes rare archival footage of Robin’s early stand-up, raw footage from HBO’s promo shoots and press interviews, the People’s Choice Awards honoring Robin, and E! Press Room footage, featurettes, and exclusive new interviews.
The Robin Williams: Comic Genius 22-disc set is sure to absolutely thrill Robin’s biggest fans. In addition to all of Robin’s HBO specials, this set includes over 50 hours of never-before-released shows (including his full 2007 MGM Grand Garden Arena stand-up show, the Montreal stop of his last tour in 2012, his best talk show and late-night show appearances, and 11 episodes of Mork & Mindy, Robin’s award-nominated Inside the Actors Studio interview, deleted scenes, a comprehensive collection of his USO shows around the world, and 2018’s HBO documentary Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind. It also has hours of bonus features and new interviews from friends and colleagues, plus a 24-page collectible memory book with photos and Robin’s tour notes. It really is the ultimate collector’s item for his fans.
Robin Williams has made me smile and laugh since I was a little kid, and while it’s heartbreaking to know he’s no longer here, these collectors sets are the perfect way to keep his memory alive and honor his years of work.
Nanu Nanu.

He was so much a part of my childhood. He is definitely missed.
I loved all his movies. This would be a great collection to have.
There will never be another like Robin. Like most of us–I grew up in his prime comedic days. He was so unique. I watched his standup to Mork and Mindy. It’s often the most loved in Hollywood that we lose too soon. Glad there are sets like this to show the younger generation.
I would love to gift this to my cousin!
He is known for his comedy, but he had some really good dramatic roles as well.
