Trivia
During 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."

Goofs
Mork'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.

Quotes
[repeated line]
Mork: Nanu-Nanu!

Crazy credits
Starting in season 2, the "o" in the word "Mork" in the title is an Orkan egg ship.

it is close encounter of the funny kind

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.
