16 Mork & Mindy Facts That Will Make You Say 'Shazbot'!

During the 70s and 80s, many aliens visited the small towns of American television. One such alien that arrived on American television screens in the September of 1978 was Mork, played by the tremendously talented Robin Williams. Dressed in a red spacesuit and silver boots, Mork arrived on planet Earth to dig information on the backward beings that inhabited this planet. Mork's love for humour, which was prohibited on his planet Ork, had impelled his Orkan overlords, especially Orson, to device ways to get rid of this little twerp who kept cracking jokes and thus, he was sent to Earth on this mission.

Out of his egg spacecraft, Mork immediately runs into Mindy, a beautiful journalist, played by Pam Dawber, abandoned by her boyfriend in the middle of nowhere. Mork chaperons Mindy back to the town, starting a relationship that would keep viewers interested and fascinated for four years. This Garry Marshall-created series was a spin-off of the then hugely popular Happy Days. The show started Robin William's career and won Williams the Best TV Actor Golden Globe in 1979 and an Emmy nomination. Critics applauded Williams' portrayal of Mork and every episode of the first season of the show drew close to 60 million viewers.
