Mork & Mindy was a sitcom that ran on ABC from 1978 until 1982. The series starred a relative newcomer Robin Williams as Mork, an alien who came to Earth in a large egg-shaped space ship from the planet Ork, and Pam Dawber as Mindy McConnell, the human woman who he lives with.

The series was a originally a spin-off of Happy Days where Mork first appeared in the season 5 episode, "My Favorite Orkan". In that episode he threatened to kidnap Richie Cunningham and take him to the planet Ork, however his plan is foiled by Fonzie. In the spin-off series Mindy discovers Mork after he lands near Boulder Colorado. When she finds out he is an alien she vows to keep his identity a secret and allows Mork to move into the attic. Afterwards, many hilarious situations arise.

Story-lines centered on Mork's attempts to understand American culture and human interaction. At the end of each episode Mork reported to his boss back on Ork (Orson) and said what he had learned on earth in that episode. less «

  I always thought that the "Gotta Run" three-parter was the final episode of the series, since it ends with Mork & Mindy bouncing around in time, never going back home but always being together. But this site lists "The Mork Report" as having aired after that. How did this work? Was this really intended as the final episode, or was it just an episode from earlier in the season that got delayed, even though it no longer fit with the continuity? Thanks in advance for any help! less «

  Okay, so who's seen this episode? I remember watching the show when it used to come on Nick at Nite and they showed the episode where Mork and Mindy went to Ork to spend their honeymoon. The episode ended on a cliffhanger, although I can't particularly remember what it was. My brother and I were both into the show and excited about it at the time. However, the next day when they showed the next episode, they skipped right to Mork and Mindy being back on Earth and the episode that includes the birth of Mearth. Now that's always confused me, because I was never able to see that episode. Now just recently, I was searching on TV.com and found The Honeymoon only listed as one parter. Now I'm really confused, because I know the episode ended on a cliffhanger, but the second part seems to not exist. less «

  Excellent show, excellent cast. Who would have thunk it to make an alien from outter space, played by the comic genious Robin Williams be so funny. I know alot of the show was adlibbed, and I think that is what made the humor the best. hide « show »

  Mork from Ork, (played by the comic genious Robin Williams) comes to earth and meets up with Mindy (also played by comic genious Pam Dawber), and hillarity ensues. You can't go wrong with this kind of humor. Only Robin could make you genuinely believe water was being sucked up by his finger and how he sat or visited was even better yet. I would love to own this show on DVD but in my area, it's difficult to find it, but trust me, I am on the hunt and desparately want the entire show for my personal library. And you have to love how he has his way of insulting his commanding officer, Orson.

  Mork and alien from Ork goes to earth to learn about our customs and life. Meets Mindy and halarity ensues. hide « show »

  It's wonderful to see where Robin Williams first became well known to the TV audience. You can still see the influence from this time on his life in the work he contunes to do today. This is one of the funnist shows of all time and there will never be another one like it.

  8.1 Great

  Classic TV! hide « show »

  I watched this show back when it aired on Nick @ Nite in the 1980s. I really enjoyed this show. It is funny. It is a spin-off from the show Happy Days. Robin Williams as Mork is hilarious. What can I say about this show? Robin Williams is the perfect person to play Mork. He is just a funny guy. Playing an alien is up his alley.
  The writing was great. The ad-libbing was great. This show was great. I was a little kid when I watched this show and I haven't seen it since, but I'm sure I would enjoy it just as much today.

  This show was all Robin Williams. Too bad he is still stuck with it being his magnum opus. hide « show »

  In my opinion, there are only two comedians alive and active today who have the ability to go over the top in any aspect of comedy and still have powerful roles. Both started in stand up and progressed from there. They are Jim Carrey and Robin Williams. Of the two, Carrey had his roles in In Living Colour, but he was surrounded by great cast. Williams, on the other hand, completely carried Mork & Mindy. I can only imagine how much of it was improv, but judging by the number of times Pam Dawber obviously laughed off script, plenty. This definitely must come from years of practicing slapstick, thinking about what is funny, offensive, outrageous and just plain WEIRD. And I respect the hell out of that. Endless hours of gut wrenching laugh await every normal, dismal, strange, depressing, complex... Well, just about every moment with Mork. This is why it's my guilty pleasure - the show is far from objectively good, but for the smiles it regularly brought me (and still does), I can only recommend it for a good time.
