Mork & Mindy[]
Ty appeared as Airman Endo, who along with buddy Airman McFarland, is serving at Buckley's Airforce Base. Freezing and complaining about the food, Endo fairly sure it's just been reconstituted from previous meals, they are aware that they are being sent out on a mission, blind. Their conversation is interrupted by the emergence of Mork in an Airforce Lt.'s uniform. Snapping to attention they try and quiz the Orkan, who they think is Lt. Mork Fromork, on where they are going, but are left thinking the new Lt. is somewhat 'strange', the Orkan thinking the USAF is a holiday club, spending most of his time trying to get them to relax until the arrival of Captain Chapman.
McFarland and Endo encounter Mork again when he and a Mindy disguised as 'Airman Howard McConnell' sneak into the containment area the Nuclear waste has been stored, that was their mission from the day before.
