Mork & Mindy[]
Joyce Mandel was undoubtedly part of ABC's attempt to add 'jiggle' to their shows, with Mandel's episode Hold That Mork and the Necroton episode being the most notorious in relation to Mork & Mindy. She appears as Peggy Black a highly voluptuous candidate trying out for the Denver Broncos Cheerleaders on the same day as Mork is attempting to make his mark. Her leotard clad routine is awful, but captures the attention of both Nelson and Mork, to Mindy's annoyance, all of them however taking in the fact she can't spell.
She is promptly rejected, albeit kindly, by Pam Stockhaus, the manager of the squad.
