Mork & Mindy is an American sitcom broadcast from 1978 to 1982 on ABC. It stars Robin Williams as Mork, an extraterrestrial who comes to Earth from the planet Ork in a small, one-man egg-shaped spaceship. Pam Dawber co-stars as Mindy McConnell, his human friend and roommate.
The series is a spin-off from the sitcom Happy Days. The character of Mork is played by a then-unknown Robin Williams, who impressed producer Garry Marshall with his quirky comedic ability as soon as they met. When Williams was asked to take a seat at the audition, Williams immediately sat on his head on the chair and Marshall cast him on the spot, and later wryly commented that Williams was the only alien who auditioned for the role.
Mork appears in the Happy Days Season 5 episode, "My Favorite Orkan", which first aired in February 1978 and is a take on the 1960s sitcom My Favorite Martian. Williams' character, Mork, attempts to take Richie Cunningham back to his planet of Ork as a human specimen, but his plan is foiled by Fonzie. In the initial broadcast of this episode, it all turned out to be a dream that Richie had, but when Mork proved so popular, the ending was re-edited to show Mork erasing the experience from everyone's minds, thus meaning the event had actually happened and wasn't a dream.

This is the one which Channel 4 innocently showed pre-watershed. Not actually very controversial as such apart from the fact that their nasty landlord glories in the name of Mr Wanker. Apparently several examples of the surname exist in the US.
This is a blooper reel from Mork & Mindy's first season . Robin Williams is pretty funny here. The clip ends with him flashing Pam and mooning the audience.
Yeah yeah, its about OJ, I still thought this was funny.
Robin Williams and Pam Dawber starred together in Mork & Mindy decades ago, and they're bringing their hit characters back to the small screen Thursday night on the CBS hit comedy, The Crazy Ones.
The 2005, a made-for-television movie Starring Chris Diamantopoulos (The Three Stooges) as the late, great Robin Williams, Erinn Hayes (The Watch) as Pam Dawber and Daniel Roebuck (The Fugitive) as producer Garry Marshall. The movie depicts Williams's instant stardom and behind the scenes turmoil that the cast and crew would have with the network.
Mork & Mindy was the first tv show to display an incredible talent of Robin Williams. The audience instantly fell in love with the "cute and cuddly" alien Mork and his human friend Mindy. I think of this show with great fondness because it's extremely funny, lovely and kind. It's the kind of TV product we really need these days. It was a huge hit back in the day and i think the people in 2015 could really use a little happiness it gives. Anyway, here's a little video, i hope you gonna like it!

Bizarre television comedy with Robin Williams as Mork from Ork, who is an alien hatched from an egg, sent to investigate Earth and report back to his superiors. As an outsider, Mork is unfamiliar with human customs and often questions some of the strange traditions that we take for granted. Much of the humor relies on Williams' unique comic voices and mannerisms. The show was perhaps most famous for Mork's saying, 'nanoo nanoo.' Boulder, Co. Mork is a bumbling alien from the planet Ork sent to Earth, in his egg, to study it's inhabitants. He will report to his unseen superior, Orson, until reassigned. On Earth, he meets Mindy McConnell, an average woman who takes him in and shelters him. On befriending Mork, she signs herself up for some wacky adventures as Mork learns about human life, ac...
