Mork & Mindy[]
Elliot played his namesake, Elliot, one of Mork's group of kids he worked with in The Pine Tree Day Care Center, who he turns to while in the grip of the Observer Syndrome which has robbed him of his Orkan-ness. Trying to frame his situation as a kids story, in the face of their savvy he has to confess it's Mindy. Elliot like his pal Jonathan reacts to it being 'girl trouble' and suggests that Mork puts a snake in her bed. When Mork says he wants to find out how he was, Elliot is confused. Leaving Mork to confess that he's desperate to rediscover himself to avoid having to leave Mindy to do so, as she is suggesting, and asks the kids for information on what he used to be like. Elliot tells him they'd like to help him but they don't know how he used to be as they've only known him a short time,
