Mindy misses Mork's wonderful original
innocence so keenly that Mork lets her enter
his mind to confer with leader Orson on
Ork. Orson sends his planet's most exalted
elder to attempt to retrain Mork in Orkan
ways. Mork is desperate to regain Orkan
qualities prior to the elder's arrival.
Pupils at the day care center where Mork
is a play leader advise him to poll his
friends on how he used to be. Then the ancient
elder,who looks like a ten-year-old because
the aging process is reversed on Ork, arrives
and converts Mork's attic into an Orkan
environment,complete with Mork's strange
furry pet naugachomp, Bebo. When all else
fails, the elder proposes employing his
powers as an eggs-orcist.
|
With Mindy depressed about not getting
a scholarship, it's up to Mork to stir up
some laughs, so he brings home a friend
who claims to be the real Peter Pan - with
the power to fly as just one of his magical
talents. Peter, a patient at a psychiatric
hospital, is overjoyed that Mork, unlike
pessimistic fellow patient Sid and others,
believes him. In turn, Peter readily accepts
the fact that Mork is from the planet Ork.
When naive Mork tries to take Peter with
him to cheer up Mindy, Nurse Tula explains
that the patients have to be locked up at
night for safety. Later, Mork misunderstands
Mindy's explanation about humans being locked
up and sneaks back to the hospital at night
to free Peter - with the help of Orkan magic
and sprinkles of fairy dust - and takes
him home to Mindy.
|
Mork, Mindy, and Mrs. Fowler of the day
care center appeal to wealthy Mr. Simpson
to renew the center's lease. But the property
is needed for a parking lot for the roller
disco Simpson has turned over to his son,
Wheels, who cares only for skating. Simpson
suggests that Mork talk with Wheels. At
the rink, Mork taunts Wheels, an egotistical
bully, into agreeing to race the Rockies
on skates. If Mork wins, the day care center
will be spared. It's the biggest, funniest
roller marathon ever when Mork takes to
skates for the first time to race a cheating
champion skater down a Rocky Mountain peak
into Boulder to save the day care center
at which he works from destruction.
|
Mork begins buying up joke items after
Mindy tries Glenda Faye's gag snakes on
him, but she has to explain practical jokes
to him. Eventually, Mork also learns that
the surprise element is what makes pranks
funny. Then Mork hears Bickley bragging
to Fred about the time they took apart a
professor's auto and reassembled it in his
home. A wildly inspired Mork decides to
try it on Mindy, and gets so comically carried
away with pulling practical jokes that he
surprises Mindy be assembling her Jeep in
their living room right over Mr. Bickley's
apartment not realizing that her floor cannot
support the Jeep's weight.
|
Mindy is preoccupied with dyeing her
hair blonde for a TV job interview when
Mork brings home Doc, a young chimpanzee
that he kidnapped from the Boulder Zoo in
the mistaken belief that the animal's mother
has been abducted too. Mindy's miseries
mount as she first finds Doc, then discovers
that her hair has turned green. Meanwhile,
the chimp exits only to be captured by the
crazed prophet Exidor - who thinks Doc is
a burglar - and his ferocious invisible
Doberman, Brutus. Mork exposes on Exidor
to scout the zoo, as he will be more "inconspicuous"
than Mork. When Exidor reports that Doc
has been kidnapped and that his mother is
in the zoo infirmary, he and Mork rush to
sneak Doc in to see his mom.
|
Mork garbs himself in feathers as Orkan
coward Squellman the Yellow for a costume
event at the day care center. His young
charges are happily attired as their favorite
heroes, except for woebegone Billy, forced
to emulate his doctor-father. Mork assures
him that it's okay for him to dress as his
hero, Billy the Kid. After Mindy explains
to Mork that Billy's hero was really a killer,
Mork tries to tell Billy that he was wrong,
but the youngster decides he's a fraidy-cat
and demands a shootout at the nearby ghost
town where Exidor, the wild-eye prophet,
is searching for his grandfather's strange
buried treasure. Mork braves one of the
zaniest shootouts ever when he faces a funny
but formidable opponent in a ghost town
saloon - a small boy armed with water balloons
trying to emulate outlaw hero Billy the
Kid.
|
Mindy's father, Fred, sensitive that
he is fifteen years older than Cathy, reveals
to Mork that he has consulted a plastic
surgeon. After Mindy, unaware of what's
on Mork's mind, agrees that anyone can use
a little improvement, spaceman Mork checks
the mirror and decides that years of sitting
on his face have left their mark. Mindy
is shocked when Lola and Stephanie from
the day care center drop by to see how Mork
looks because he left his job early to go
to a plastic surgeon.
|
Mork is frightened by salesman Travers'
hard sell about accidents as he tries to
sell him a policy. Mindy arrives in time
to prevent Mork from signing, but he is
still frightened in spite of her explanation
and wants to back out of a vacation to Yellowstone
with Mindy, Nelson and Glenda Faye. At the
DaVinci restaurant, Mork hears about pollution
and encounters Exidor. When Mork crawls
into in a glass tube right in the middle
of Mindy's living room - vowing never to
emerge, Mindy decides to "fight the bizarre
with bizarre" by staging an unusual party
for him.
|
Although Mork doesn't understand charity,
he is determined to help Mindy, who is upset
that time is running out and she has not
raised the money she pledged for Boulder's
new children's hospital. Mork tries his
Morkathon performance at DaVinci's restaurant
where he meets Godfrey. At the bus station,
Godfrey has Mork attempt various techniques
to no avail until he has Mork try a silent,
pathetic-looking approach on a passerby.
Later, Mork, in tattered bum's clothing,
takes a hatful of money to Mindy. She is
outraged to learn that he panhandled from
her friend, so Mork decides to put the money
back into circulation - his own way.
|
Lola, Mork's munchkin friend from the
day care center, suggests that Mindy apply
at the small television station managed
by her uncle, Miles Sternhagen. She is hired
by Sternhagen to do odd jobs and fill in
on-camera when necessary. He first assignment
is to do the evening weather report. Mork
urges her to do an interplanetary version
and makes some calls to prepare strange
weather charts. At the station, Mork and
Mindy learn from Jake, the cameraman, that
no one else has arrived because of a snowstorm.
Mindy is to do the whole evening news show.
She panics when Mork throws her the packet
of news material - and the papers scatter
all over the floor. Mindy has a disastrous
on-camera debut until Mork leaps to a riotous
rescue with his far-out Orkan presentation
of the evening news.
|
Mindy is angered when her stereo, repaired
by Mr Strand, breaks down again while Mork
is using it at the day care center, and
Strand refuses to stand behind his work.
Mork accompanies her to the shop only to
be thrown out by the obnoxious Strand. When
Mindy's father is unable to repair the appliance,
he offers to pay to have it done, but Mindy
counters that she wants justice. That's
when Mork announces mysteriously that he
has a better idea, adding that, "Justice
moves in stange ways". Mork gains comical
cosmic revenge on the repair shop owner
by making an appearance at night to put
the man on trial before a jury of broken
appliances that amazingly come to life.
|
Mork faces almost unbearable competition
for his job as official Earth observer from
his Orkan hero, the suave and charming Xerko,
who beams to Earth to challenge Mork to
an outrageous contest for the right to send
reports back to Ork - and to move in with
Mindy. Ambitious Xerko challenges Mork,
whose Earth reports have become popular
on their planet, to the ancient rite of
the "Hollitacker". This is a type of sporting
event, in which one Orkan can challenge
another for his job. Over Mindy's protests
that he can't give up, Mork responds that
he has no chance against Xerko, the godlike,
and wishes him and Mindy happiness together
after he has been recalled to Ork. Xerko,
who considers Mindy part of the package
of his prospective Earth assignment, wants
her to attend the midnight competition to
see Mork concede.
|
Mindy complains about Robin Williams'
inaccessibility to her boss, Mr. Sternhagen,
when she has to interview the comedian to
keep her job. He retorts that Williams not
only performed for nothing at the local
Comedy Cabaret but also introduced himself
to everyone during lunch at DaVinci's restaurant.
Mork later shows up at the restaurant where
he is mistaken for Williams. Mobbed and
with his clothes tattered, Mork believes
people have discovered he is an alien. Mork
disguises himself for protection to accompany
Mindy on her desperate final attempt to
interview Robin at the auditorium where
he is performing. Once there, Mork has a
hilarious nose-to-nose encounter with the
famous star.
|
Mork is making a mess out of trying to
fend for himself while Mindy is away for
a week on assignment. Lonely in her absence,
he has surrounded himself with her photos
when Bickley drops in to warn him that Landlord
Kreevy is coming to install smoke alarms.
Then the juvenile-looking Elder from Ork,
where the aging process is reversed, arrives
expecting to celebrate his 87th birthday
with Mindy. Mork's attic is converted into
an Orkan laboratory and the cloning begins.
When the first Mindy emerges from an egg-shaped
device, she's too coldly intellectual, so
the Elder tries and tries again.
|
After Jeanie and the Widow Comstock convince
Mindy that she should accept a dinner date
with Stan, a newsman from Denver, she breaks
the news to Mork, who accepts it calmly.
Remo, helping Mork line up a date, decides
that the Widow Comstock, who lives it up
in a singles building, would be perfect.
Mork is a social dud with the widow's crowd
until swinger T.N.T., who refers to himself
as Mr. Fun, takes Mork under his wing and
restyles him. Mork's date book is soon crammed
as he turns into the hilarious new king
of Boulder's social scene.
|
Mork performs as lead singer with a hilarious
musical comedy group after Remo fires a
female entertainer because she is pregnant,
which angers Mindy into leading a picket
line against the restaurant. Mindy is in
shock when Mork brings home the not-too-bright-couple
- Ruby, seven months pregnant, and Rick
- because Remo has fired Ruby, and the two
are broke and homeless. Mindy argues with
Remo, but he stands on principle and believes
pregnant women should not have to work.
Mindy answers that the choice is the woman's.
Picketing begins and Remo relents. When
Ruby's baby decides to arrive while she
is on stage, Mork takes over as lead singer.
|
Fred is suffering anxiety pangs because
his highly successful but domineering brother,
Dave, is about to pay a visit. Mindy attempts
to calm her dad and promises that she will
make a great dinner. Meanwhile, some Orkan
ceremonial food that Mork had sent away
for arrives by floating egg delivery. Mork
cooks up a batch of the stuff, called flek,
and when Uncle Dave and Aunt Caroline arrive,
Mindy inadvertently eats some of the concoction.
Whatever is in the Orkan goody, it strips
Earthlings of their inhibitions. Much to
Fred's chagrin, Mindy gives Uncle Dave some
wild surprises when she turns into a wacky
Orkan herself, sending her family reunion
into a rollicking tizzy and treating pompous
old Uncle Dave to a bizarre evening he won't
forget.
|
Grandma Cora is on her way to a bash
in Nevada with a group of swinging seniors
and drops by for a visit with her favorite
granddaughter and alien, Mindy and Mork.
The live-wire little lady spreads joy wherever
she goes, but when three punks mug her in
the park, "It's like someone let the air
out of her life," Mork says. Cora is afraid,
and ready to go back home until Mork hits
on a plan to square things with the punks.
He disguises himself as another little old
lady, Clara, then Cora and Clara set out
for the park. Mork turns the dastardly deed
into a hilarious caper and he and Grandma
join forces to even the score.
|
Mindy is up for a promotion from Mr.
Sternhagen, her boss at the TV station,
but gets cold feet because it means she
must handle a gossip segment. Mork decides
on his own to do some leg work and get Mindy
her promotion. Armed with camera and notebook,
he moves in on his friends, including Exidor,
at DaVinci's restaurant. Mork, who doesn't
understand why people gossip, reveals some
hilarious "inside scoops" when he shows
and tells all about his friends while subbing
for Mindy as host of a local TV show called
rumor Has It. After Mork appears on air
with his juicy commentary and juxtapositioned
photos, Sternhagen and Mr. Bickley are the
only ones happy with the program.
|
While Mindy is working as production
coordinator on a new TV call-in show featuring
Dr. Lincoln, Mork purchases a Maid-O-Matic
appliance from Exidor to make housework
easier. The new appliance has spewed food
in all directions by the time Bickley drops
by and advises Mork to call Mindy for advice
on how to run the apartment. Otherwise,
he warns, Mindy may leave him. Mork phones,
breaking into the call-in program, and Mindy
nearly gets fired. Later, Mindy complains
to Dr. Lincoln that Mork has now over-adjusted
to her working, and is waiting on her hand
and foot.
|
Bickley is a bit down at his 50th birthday
party because he regrets all the things
he never accomplished. Mindy tries to comfort
him with her assurance that everyone has
such regrets. The fun-loving Widow Comstock
suggests that the partygoers share their
regrets and get better acquainted. Mork's
curiosity peaks as Mindy repeatedly makes
excuses to avoid her turn. Finally, she
whispers to Mork that the greatest regret
of her life is very personal and that she
wants to share it with Mork when they are
alone.
