Synopsis by Matthew Tobey
After appearing on an episode of Happy Days a few months prior, fish-out-of-water space alien Mork (Robin Williams) got his own spin-off in the fall of 1978. Originally the first half of a one-hour episode before being split for syndication, this pilot show finds Mork returning to Earth at the behest of his boss Orson. Once there, Mork moves in with a young Earthling woman named Mindy and the two become fast friends. Henry Winkler and Penny Marshall guest-star as Arthur Fonzarelli and Laverne DeFazio, respectively.
