Synopsis

Orkan misfit, Mork is sent by Orson and the Council of Orkan Elders to observe and report back on the primitive backwater planet, Earth where its felt he'll fit in and can do some good. Landing outside Boulder, Colorado he encounters a stranded human female, named Mindy McConnell, who has no idea she is walking back home with an Alien.

Plot

Part 1

On the planet Ork, Mork the Orkan has been summoned before 'The White Desk' having gotten himself in trouble again. Orson, Mork's superior, seen only in silhouette is a rather large specimen, something Mork makes fun of behind his back, and to his front. But it is the humor not the insults that Orson, finds objectionable. Emotions have been weeded out of Orkans, and Mork is a misfit, constantly making jokes, and that will no longer do. Orson informs him of an insignificant planet on the far side of the Galaxy populated by 'nimnuls' who they have received sketchy reports on. Mork who has been there before, will, they feel fit in there and is assigned to this planet, Earth, to report back on the primitive species there.

Screening Room Pick Every week, TV Guides Screening Room section picked outstanding episodes of TV for the upcoming week. The Mork & Mindy Pilot being the one for Thursday Sept 14

Outside Boulder, Colorado, overlooking Boulder Reservoir at night, a young woman named Mindy is on a date, sitting in her jeep with Bill Mason, both of them unaware of the Egg shaped spaceship landing nearby or the alien emerging from it. As Mork retrieves some of his luggage, he hears a woman's raised voice, and looks over to see Mindy fighting off the lecherous Bill. As he ducks down behind a rock to open his luggage, Mindy tells Bill where to get off, and gets out of the jeep with a view to driving home, only for Bill to drive off in her jeep. She's startled a moment later by the emergence of what she thinks is am oddly voiced priest, but is merely Mork with his suit on backwards. Telling him what happened she is grateful for his presence to walk back into town with.

Walking all the way home to her comfortable one bedroom Apartment upstairs in a Boulder home, Mindy apologizes for talking virtually the way, due to her being so angry. Thanking him and asking if there's anything she can get him, he requests a glass of water, or a quart of oil. Laughing at what she thinks is a joke, she offers him some iced tea, and as she's fetching it notes him talking to her plants, which she does too. Bringing the drink around on a tray to him, she is immediately unnerved as she finally notices he's just wearing his suit backwards. When she points this out to him, and asks him who he is, he tells her he is Mork, from Ork, and a spaceman. Really getting worried, she humors him when he asks to take a photo for the folks at home, and is stunned when he takes it with his instamatic glove, and then floored when he drinks the iced tea she brought him with his fingers. Unnerved now for an entirely new reason, she backs off him, not sure how he did those tricks and warning him she'll scream, gratefully running for the door when she hears a knock only to be shocked when she sees a floating egg, the rest of Mork's luggage having arrived.

As he deals with the egg, and speaks Orkan, she has to accept he's from 'out there'. First stunned then wary, she asks if he's going to hurt her. But he assures her that damaging other lifeforms is unthinkable to Orkans. He then makes a complex formal introduction of himself to her, attempting to reciprocate she introduces herself as Mindy McConnell, and he compliments her on her 'ribbit' when she takes his hand, as it shows character and leads to evolution. Mindy becomes excited by the fact she's speaking to an actual alien, and comments on the epic-ness of the moment, that the world would be astounded, but Mork stops her saying others can't know as he's there to observe and he can only do that by fitting in, which he feels he does perfectly. Mindy politely disabuses him of that notion, but then offers to teach him how to fit in if he'll teach her more about Ork, and they strike a deal. Having heard about Earth hospitality, he assumes he will be staying with her, and growing a little uneasy she tells him he can, temporarily...indicating what might happen if her father finds out. Immediately intrigued by her having a natural father, he tells her he's a test tube baby, whose father was an eyedropper who left his mother for a bottle of eyedrops.

In Boulder's Pearl Street Mall area, in McConnell's Music Store, a middle aged man and a lively elderly woman embark on a Beethoven duel on a piano and synthesizer respectively, as it progresses Mindy emerges from the back to call a halt to it. Mindy's grandmother Cora, is a modernist whose tastes run to Alice Cooper, while Mindy's father, Fred, Cora's son-in-law, is a classics and jazz man, and they have a constantly running mostly friendly feud on that and most things. Fred notes his daughter is drinking a lot of coffee, for her, and she has to admit she was up late the night before. She confesses to having met the most fascinating person, then makes the mistake of saying she as up half the night talking to *him*, which Fred pounces on. Mindy reminds him she's 21, and he agrees but will always be his little girl to him. As they are talking Mork, now in casual and unique clothes, is led into the store by an 11 year old boy, Eugene, on his way for his music lesson there, Mork having been looking for Mindy.

Mindy, conscious of her father, tells Mork she'll be happy to show him around after work. When Mork enquires about what work is, Fred immediately gets the impression this guy is a beatnik and a drop out, and asks Mindy who he is? Mindy introduces Mork and then introduces Fred pointedly to Mork as Mr McConnell her father. Mork does not pick up on her tone however, and both greets and compliments Fred in an Orkan fashion which only cements Fred's impression of him. Mork and Eugene however are hitting it off and as he's heading off for his lesson Eugene says he'd like to see him again, to which, to Mindy's unease, Mork replies that he'll be at 'Mindy's place. When Fred queries this statement, Mork compounds the problem by saying yes, he's living there, and walks out to leave a massively nervous Mindy to face her father. Mindy tells him that Mork is a practical joker, as you would be with a voice and name like that. Fred relaxes confirming Mork isn't staying and sleeping with her.

Mindy gets home to find Mork sprawled along the back of the couch laughing, uniquely, at the TV. Turning it off she tells him they need to have a talk (the first of many to follow!), and asks him to have a seat and get comfortable. She starts to tell him, she realizes he didn't know better but it was a mistake to tell her father they were living together, only to turn and find him sitting on his face, which he tells her is how Orkans get comfortable. Telling him they evidently have a lot to do to get him to pass for Earthling, she sits and suggests the first thing they need to do is work on his voice, which doesn't sound normal. He tries out a few derived from his TV watching but none of them are suitable, and Mindy has to admit getting him to pass as normal was going to a problem. He confirms that the last time he was here he caused some problems too when he visited. Mindy is intrigued to know he was here before and is keen to hear what happened. In a flashback sequence, Mork tells Mindy about a previous visit to Earth when Arthur Fonzarelli (special guest star Henry Winkler) arranged a date for him with Laverne De Fazio (special guest star Penny Marshall) so he could learn about why men date women.

Part 2

Mork continues his story about his date with Laverne who is persuaded into a date with him by Fonzie. While alone with Fonzie, Mork asks about kissing and why he would want to do it, Fonz replies for physical pleasure, and asks if there is nothing they do on Ork for physical pleasure. Mork confesses that there is one thing, but its against the law, that when a woman touches a man on the inside of their wrist it drives them Zazbat (crazy), it only happened to him once but when it dead he became a 'beast' and jerked her earlobe, for which he feels intensely guilty When Laverne comes in she's initially very pleased by what she sees, but once Mork starts to speak, it wears off quickly. Fonz makes his excuses and leaves them to it in the Cunninghams living room. Mork compliments the flower in her hair as fungus, makes lip sliding motions when asking if it is time to kiss and sits on his face, and when she rejects him he curls up like a baby. This works in his favor however, and Laverne softens to him again, however when she sits beside him and tries to draw his hand away from his mouth as he's sucking on his finger, she puts her hand on his wrist, driving him zazbat...he manages to hold on, but she does it again, and with a cry of Gang Neb he goes after her earlobes. When she kicks him in the shins, he returns the favor twice thinking it part of the custom and then chases her around the living room till she races upstairs for Fonzie.

Finishing the story to Mindy he is still rhapsodizing about Laverne's earlobes, and Mindy, laughing, warns him about the need to control himself. Agreeing that she is right, he lapses into a rich baritone voice mimicking Shakespearean meter in conveying the need to repent. Mindy's mouth drops as she stares at him, telling him that that voice sounds normal, and trying him and it out on some of her borrowed library books, embarrassingly revealing a penchant for racy fiction on her part, but confirming to her that this new voice of his works and that they've made a breakthrough. The celebrate together and Mork runs through the things he's learned, firstly his new voice, secondly not to drink with his finger and thirdly not to sit on his face. Mindy smiles and nods, before adding a fourth, and most important...that being *not* to tell her father they are living together. However, she tells him this just as Fred walks in to the apartment. Furious he accuses Mindy of lying to him about living with a man, she tries to tell him its not like that, but he won't listen and storms off.

Back at the Mall, a friend of Fred's Deputy Tilwick (veteran character actor Geoffrey Lewis) sees the lights on in the McConnell's Music Store and alarmed comes in to check on Fred, who is standing alone and drinking heavily. Fred is polishing off the bottle of champagne he had been saving for Mindy's wedding day since she was 10, an event he had all planned out with tuxes, flowers and a band he would conduct himself. Tilwick doesn't believe it of Mindy, and feeling bad for Fred offers to do something about it, by heading over to Mindy's in the morning to frighten Mork off her.

The next morning as Mork tries and fails to launch Mindy's eggs (as fellow space travelers), back into space, he concludes their lack of responsiveness is due to her fridge putting them in a state of suspended animation. To re-animate them he places them around the apartment under cushions, just as Deputy Tilwick arrives. He checks to see if Mindy is there, but Mork tells him she's at work which he finds a strange concept, giving Tilwick much the same 'loser' impression of him as Fred. He accuses Mork of living off of Mindy and accuses him of being a lowlife. Mork lists off the lowest forms of life, which irks Twilick as being intellectual mumbo jumbo, then tells Mork to take off to which Mork says he just landed. Twilick warns him he can make a lot of trouble for him, pointing to his uniform. The final straw comes when Mork slides closer saying he noted the uniform, and unnerves Twilick when he asks him in his real Orkan voice if he's a member of Space Patrol and if Orson has sent him to help with the Eggs, before Twilick accidentally sits on one of them.

Back at the music store Mindy is at work when Twilick comes in and goes to Fred to speak to him quietly. Fred asks hopefully if he scared Mork off, but Twilick tells him he took him in. When Fred exclaims he just wanted rid of him not that, Twilick says loudly that he didn't want to, but he had to do his duty. Mindy overhearing them suddenly realizes what this is about and confronts them both, demanding to know what they've done. Twilick tells her he went to scare him off, but when he met Mork he became convinced he was crazy, and took him in. He's now facing a sanity hearing, and it's likely he'll be committed. Mindy is appalled at what they've done and furious at her father, storms off.

At the Boulder County Justice Center the next day, Mork's sanity hearing is already underway when Mindy bursts in, Fred in tow, and demands that Mork has the right to a lawyer...who is already present. The judge tries to assure her that no one is being railroaded, and she asks if she can ask one question to which the judge agrees. As Mork watches, instead of asking a question, Mindy pulls out and launches into a fully prepared filibuster of a statement, putting up a passionate defense of him. The judge points out that they're actually hearing the testimony of the psychiatrist who examined Mork, and retreating to the seats, Mindy and Fred listen on as Dr. Litney says that Mork is too childlike and incapable of learning to be competent to function in society. When Mork's ineffectual lawyer has no cross-examination of his findings, Mindy is back on her feet demanding that questions being asked, and tells Mork not to let them do this to him, that he has no idea what it means, but he tells her from watching TV he has some idea.

Rising up, Mork takes on the persona of a southern lawyer, cross-examining the psychiatrist, manipulating his arguments until Litney points out to the judge how he's cleverly twisting his words, when Mork points out that now he's saying he's clever. Litney tells the judge that Mork flunked his word association test, but when Mork tries it on him, he manages to uncover a menage a trois with the court stenographer leading to a stampede of psychiatrist, stenographer and prosecutor out of the room. The judge rules that Mork brings new meaning to the word eccentric, but with no law against that, and no prosecution team, no witness, and no stenographer, he has no recourse but to dismiss the case, Mindy rushing to hug and congratulate Mork, even Fred reluctantly shaking his hand.

The episode ends with the first of Mork's reports to Orson. He tells him everyone on Earth is an individual and proud of it. Orson is amazed, wanting to know how they can function as a society? Mork comments not very well, telling him how they almost locked him up thinking his mind was imperfect. To this Orson suggests that this indicates intelligent life. Mork brings up something that confuses him. He talks of meeting the Earth Girl, Mindy and her father, and how at his hearing they came to his defense. Especially the girl, who defied the system to protect him. Orson wonders why she would do something like that? Mork doesn't know, positing that it must have something to do with emotions. Orson orders him to investigate the phenomenon closely, saying its' interesting behavior even if it is irrational. Mork agrees that it is, then confides to Orson that though it sounds strange, knowing that someone would do what Mindy did for him makes him feel really good inside. Orson sharply reminds him that he was sent to Earth to observe not to get involved. Mork snaps to, and signs out till next week.

Goofs

In Part 1 - Just after Mindy discovers Mork is wearing his suit backwards, and nervously starts to put the tray of Iced Tea she's carrying down, the full shadow of one of the cameras can be seen cast against the Armoire beside her as the camera man pulls back a little too late.

Trivia

Orkan 'Facts'

(Note: The word Facts is used advisedly in this and all subsequent 'fact' sections. As, due to his humorous nature, what Mork says should be taken with a pinch of salt , unless backed up by visual evidence or corroboration by another Orkan, or Mindy, as there are numerous examples of what he says being negated/countered later on. This will be pointed out, where possible.)

• A firm ribbit (or handshake) for an Orkan is indicative of character and an ability for the individual/species to evolve.
• Orkans spit when they say thank you (there is no subsequent evidence of this between Mork and Orson or Mork and any other Orkan)
• Orkans squeeze the right side of their chest to confirm a deal (they apparently also swap clothes, Mork vs. Mindy)
• Mork tells Fonzie in part one that on Ork it is hard to tell men and women apart, and that parts on men and women are interchangeable. But given in the second part, he confirms what happens when a woman touches a man (and other physiological facts, e.g. that Orkan children emerge male and female, that the only part that actually comes off are their ears, that emerge through the series), his initial statement can now reasonably be assumed to be a joke/exaggeration on his part.
• Gang Neb, is an Orkan pleasurable practice (equivalent to an Earth practice with a similar number of words/letters) that appears to carry a stigma with it, as it causes a loss of control in the Male Orkan, when the Female touches him on the inner wrist. Causing an uncontrollable frenzied urge to 'tweak her earlobes'.
• This episode brings up the question of Orkan time and time travel. When Mork talks with Orson about being on Earth before he leaves Ork he tells him it was 3 bleems ago...when he brings up the same visit with Mindy he tells her it was 20 bleems ago (in the 1950s as opposed to the late 1970s where they are now), so it could be that time passes differently on the two planets. However, it is confirmed (during the 4th season) that Orkans have access to time travel tech, so it could also be that 3 bleems ago Mork travelled back in time to Earth in the 50s from Ork...and the parity of time on both planets is now the late 70s.

General

• There was not a traditional pilot shot. Creator Garry Marshall cobbled together footage of of Mork's appearance on Happy Days with clips of Pam Dawber from an unsold pilot called Sister Terri and sold ABC on green-lighting the show.
• Due to the unusual and rapid evolution of the show, with no traditional pilot to sell it, as noted by staff writer Gordon Mitchell, the pilot episode was not the first one shot, Mork Moves In was completed in script form and shot, before the pilot was written/filmed. This is most noticeable from Robin Williams thick chest hair, which is clearly visible in Mork Moves In, but in the Pilot (and Mork Runs Away), shot afterwards, his upper chest hair has been shaved before it gradually grows in again over subsequent episodes. Something done probably on initial feedback from the Network after viewing Mork Moves In.
• Pam Dawber did not audition, and had little comedy background and no improv training at all. The role was given to her based on the suggestion of future TV legends Marcie Carsey and Tom Werner, and Garry Marshall's impressions of her in Sister Terri and from seeing her in person in the Paramount Commissary, feeling her personality would suit the part. She only discovered she'd been cast from her agent who read it in Variety. The first time she met Robin Williams was on the trip to Boulder to shoot exteriors for the credits/promotional press shots, prior to shooting episodes. Williams greeted her with a Russian accent which she believed was real. Their immense chemistry therefore was entirely serendipitous.
• This originally aired on ABC as an hour-long episode. It was split into two parts for syndication.
• Advanced promos showed a glimpse of a deleted scene in which Laverne thinks Mork's name is "Mark" and Fonzie corrects her. This occurred immediately after she met Mork, so to bypass the joke the second half of the show begins with a voice-over by Laverne asking, "What's this guy Mork look like?"
• Mork vocalizes his sigh as 'Heavy Sigh', which was Robin Williams reading aloud the stage direction from the script, something suggested to him by writer April Kelly, and which worked so well it became a recurrent Mork-ism, with Mork frequently vocalizing his emotions or though processes aloud e.g. Extreme Fear or Intrigued Thoughts
• The verbal exchange between Mork and Dr. Litney regarding his anklewatch was repeated practically verbatim in "The Greatest Shmo on Earth," an episode of the animated series.
• The episode was novelized at least three times. Mork & Mindy: A Video Novel is a comic-book like paperback novel filled with color stills. Cora, Fonzie and Laverne were all omitted from this version. The paperback novel Mork & Mindy is a novelization by Ralph Church which includes additional storylines from Mork Moves In and Mork Runs Away. An abridged version of the story also appears in The Official Mork & Mindy Scrapbook in a chapter entitled "The Story of Mork.".
• Years later, in 1990s Awakenings, Penny Marshall would work again with Robin Williams, this time as Director, having embarked on an highly successful career behind the camera as well.
• When Laverne touches Mork's wrist, he chants 'Maintain, Maintain' for the first time, in an effort to control his rising lust and/or attraction, something that will occur numerous times through the series chiefly around Mindy (Mork's Mixed Emotions ; Invasion of the Mork Snatchers )
• Mork's 'fake voice' is William's natural voice, and the choice of Shakespeare to reveal it one opportunity to show that he was fully trained as a Shakespearean actor both at Julliard and having performed Taming of the Shrew at the Edinburgh Theatre Festival in the years before finding fame.
• This episode was spoofed in the 2011 porn movie Mork & Mindy: A Dream Zone Parody.

Pop Culture

• Mork after drinking the iced tea Mindy brought him, quotes 'The Pause that Refreshes' before burping his finger, the slogan Coca Cola first started using in 1929.
• Fred and Cora's musical duel consists of excerpts from Beethoven's 5th symphony as well as Yankee Doodle and the 1954 piece Dueling Banjos (made famous by the 1972 movie Deliverance)
• Mork refers to Eugene as a 'Munchkin-like' person, the first of many many references to The Wizard of Oz through the series.
• During his attempt at finding a normal voice, Mork impersonates both Art Carney's Norton and Jackie Gleasons' Ralph Kramden from The Honeymooners, then does a quick Shirley Temple and Ricky and Lucy from I Love Lucy referencing the cry/song Babalú for the first but definitely not the last time through the show.
• When Mindy asks him where he got the deep normal voice, Mork says from the TV either from Shakespeare or The Jeffersons, the popular spin off show from All In The Family on rival network CBS.
• Mork draws his defense, as he tells Mindy, from watching long running fictional movie/TV lawyer Perry Mason and the 1960 movie Inherit The Wind a parable set in a Southern town, that fictionalizes the 1925 Scopes "Monkey" Trial as a means to discuss McCarthyism, from which almost all 'country town southern lawyer' stereotypes have since been drawn, including Mork's here. .
