I remember the late summer of 1978, working to save enough money to go back to school. Many days were long and difficult. My friends and I left behind by those that had their finances lined up for classes, were always looking for something to do to take our minds off of what we thought were big issues at the time.
Along came this wacky television show with a guy on it that was absolutely nuts. A bunch of us would get together every Thursday night to see what he would do next. We would laugh our heads off at this crazy show and we wouldn't think of missing one. Mork and Mindy was a bright spot in our day in day out lives.

In one of the weirdest spin off from Happy Days, Mork (Robin Williams) is from the planet Ork. He is sent to Earth by Orson who is frustrated with his irreverent humor. At the end of each episode, Mork reports to Orson about the lesson he learned. Orkans drink with their fingers, sit on their heads, and age backwards. Mork lands outside of Boulder, Colorado and finds Mindy McConnell (Pam Dawber) abandoned by her date. He tells her about his extraterrestrial origins and becomes her flatmate. Her father Fred owns a music store in the first season which he ran with his sharp-tongued mother-in-law. Mr. Bickley (Tom Poston) is Mindy's grumpy downstairs neighbor. The second season has New York siblings Remo (Jay Thomas) and Jean DaVinci (Gina Hecht) as their restaurateur friends. Nelson Flavor (Jim Staahl) is Mindy's pompous cousin. Exidor is Mork's crazy friend with imaginary followers. The most insane and inspired choice is Mearth (Jonathan Winters), Mork's newborn in season 4, after his wacky performance in season 3 as uncle Dave.
This is simply a Robin Williams original. He makes this show. The show really only works with him on the screen. Pam Dawber is cute but she is overmatched. Of course, almost anybody would be overmatched. She has a tendency to laugh at Robin's jokes and do a lot of aww-schucks. The constant changes to the cast are not helpful. The DaVinci siblings didn't do the work that the show had hoped. Nelson Flavor and Exidor are my favorite characters. There is nobody like Jonathan Winters but by the fourth season, the show had no viewers and Robin Williams had better opportunities on the big screen.

This sitcom was out-of this world, Robin Williams was incredibly funny as Mork, an alien was sent to earth to examine earth's culture. When he finally gets to earth, he meets Mindy. She takes Mork in, and tries to help him adapt to human custom, but Mork keeps making alien mistakes in funny ways. This sitcom was fall-out-of your seat laughter. Robin Williams and Pam Dawber had a funny chemistry together. This show was right up there with Bewitch and I dream of Jeannie. Next to E.T Mork was my favorite alien. It is a an outer-space classic. It was nice to see that funny man Robin Williams got his start here. If this is interesting to you I would go out and buy it.
Mork & Mindy was a hilarious series that unleashed the comic talents of Robin Williams. This series began as a hilarious episode of Happy Days and ended with Mork getting his new assignment to go to the seventies. Mork even went back in another episode of Happy Days (a clip show but still funny). The series had a pretty good cast behind it, but it could have failed without Williams and his unique humor. It remains as one of Williams' best works.
The comic phenomenon that is Robin Williams was first fully unleashed on the world with this hilarious syndicated TV series.
Created as a spin off from an, admittedly, quite silly episode of Happy Days, this series charts the course of an alien, Ork, (Williams) as he investigates the planet Earth for his superiors back home.
What could have been an absolutely laughable disaster is transformed by Williams into an absolutely laughable success, from drinking with his finger and talking to plants, to his wild dances with Mindy, the woman who unwittingly welcomes him into her home, and reporting back upside down with his fingers in his ears, Williams keeps us laughing from start to finish off every episode.
This series blows away most of the comedic films Williams has done in his career, with the exception of Good Morning Vietnam, and should always be remembered as the ultimate comic performance from Williams.

- CuriosidadesDuring casting, when asked to take a seat, Robin Williams sat in the chair upside down. Producer Garry Marshall selected him because "He was the only alien to audition."
- Erros de gravaçãoMork's debut, My Favorite Orkan (1978), was set in the 1950's. The current series is set in the present day. During the series run, it was established that Orkans get younger as they age. It was never explained why Mork is the same age as he was on Happy Days.
- Cenas durante ou pós-créditosStarting in season 2, the "o" in the word "Mork" in the title is an Orkan egg ship.
