Mork Loves Mindy and a BBQ

Robin Williams was such a hit on Happy Days as an alien from Ork. He attempts to take Richie Cunningham back to Ork as a human specimen. Fonzie foils his plan. It all turned out to be a dream. The audience loved Mork so much that a spinoff was formed called Mork and Mindy.

On his planet, humor permitted. Mork was a jokester and the moment he woke up, he found humor in everything. Orson, who has Mork's long-suffering superior, sent Mork to Earth to rid him of his planet.

Mork tries to fit in by wearing a suit backwards. He meets Mindy (Pam Dawber), when he finds that her boyfriend left her because of an argument. She does not notice the suit is backwards and assumes he is a priest. Mindy confides in Mork

Mindy is comfort in the fact that Mork is listening to her problems. However, Mork is really observing her. When he tells Mindy that he is from another planet, Mindy agrees to keep his secret. She offers her home for him to stay.

Through living with Mindy, Mork learns how to be human. Eventually they fall in love and have a baby (played by Jonathon Winters), named Mearth,. On the planet Ork, they start out looking like elderly people and then become younger. This is why Mork and Mindy's baby looks like someone's grandfather.

By time the fourth season came, the show took on too many changes and lost it's appeal.
