16 Mork & Mindy Facts That Will Make You Say 'Shazbot'!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 сер 2024
- During the 70s and 80s, many aliens visited the small towns of American television. One such alien that arrived on American television screens in the September of 1978 was Mork, played by the tremendously talented Robin Williams. Dressed in a red spacesuit and silver boots, Mork arrived on planet Earth to dig information on the backward beings that inhabited this planet. Mork's love for humour, which was prohibited on his planet Ork, had impelled his Orkan overlords, especially Orson, to device ways to get rid of this little twerp who kept cracking jokes and thus, he was sent to Earth on this mission.
Out of his egg spacecraft, Mork immediately runs into Mindy, a beautiful journalist, played by Pam Dawber, abandoned by her boyfriend in the middle of nowhere. Mork chaperons Mindy back to the town, starting a relationship that would keep viewers interested and fascinated for four years. This Garry Marshall-created series was a spin-off of the then hugely popular Happy Days. The show started Robin William's career and won Williams the Best TV Actor Golden Globe in 1979 and an Emmy nomination. Critics applauded Williams' portrayal of Mork and every episode of the first season of the show drew close to 60 million viewers.
In this video, we revisit the world of Mork & Mindy and highlight 16 Mork & Mindy facts that will make you say 'Shazbot'! So, hit the play button and enjoy.

Mork and Mindy was my favorite show as a child, I wish it had stayed on longer. ❤ great video!!
In the summer of 1979, I had the good fortune of being part of the audience for the rehearsal of a second season episode of "Mork and Mindy" (I think it was "Clerical Error" - the one were Mork wants to become a Priest). It was the best early birthday present ever; not only did I get to see my comedic hero, but I also was treated to hearing Robin Williams go off book. I'll never forget the riff he did about circumcising elephants. It was pure comedy gold; so random, but it worked!
Robin Williams was a true national treasure R.I.P.
Miss him on TV show on doing live concert starts with the interview review history books documentary about biography book club fun more than more information on maze's and the best part of the same place looks like
Mork and mindy should have stayed on longer....the possibilities were endless with Robin Williams in it
Yes but the heads of tv networks aren’t that smart. They’re rather stupid actually. Just study ANY of them.
The idea of Mearth was too stupid
This show was GENIUS and ended too soon. Robin Williams was a genius. Nothing more needs to be said.
The premise was essentially to have Robin be Robin once a week on tv - and it was fucking awesome. Rest in peace Robin.
I wish more episodes were made...what life was like after Mearth was born!
More episodes are on UA-cam! Up to Season 4 episode 22 🥰
I loved “Mork & Mindy”, but didn’t really appreciate the additional of Mearth. Just the two of them was great.
I agree with your viewpoint on the "additionals aspect". As a 10 year old at the time, I think it might have been getting a little complicated with the introduction of new characters so frequently.
I loved the show until Jonathon Winters joined. They lost the real humor.
As funny as Jonathon Winters as Mearth is, it would have been better without him. Mork and Mindy should have gone out travelling or bring the time travel plot in sooner. As an alien gimmick maybe the 4 years were enough, but I would have kept watching it if it had a season 5. Robin and Pam of Mork and Mindy reunited one episode on "the Crazy Ones" starring Robin Williams many years later during the 2013-2014 single season.
One of my Favorite Shows to this Day!!
Pam is beautiful. Her husband Mark Harmon is a lucky guy.
I hate to admit this, but I bought (and wore) a pair of rainbow suspenders! Robin Williams was a comedy God!
Today, they suggest something other than "Nanu nanu"!
@@Your.Uncle.AngMoh lmao so true
I always felt that Robin Williams had something spectacular as an actor/comedian. I believe that “Mork & Mindy,” should have been given more time to develop the plot of the show.
I wanted them to make more episodes. Robin William's was my favorite comedian.
You should learn how to spell his name then.
How do you spell it? That looks right to me.
@@a.a.3555 Robin Williams
@@alukuhito thanks for the correction. I didn't notice that.
i was a big fan of mork and mindy when i was a kid robin williams was my pen pal years later i came out to hollywood to live out here where i am now and when ever im on hollywood blvd i go to robins star on the hollywood walk of fame and i stand on his star i can feel his energy and i also go to the comedy store i can see pics of him performing on stage there i miss him very much rip rockin robin we love and miss you
I totally wish Mork and Mindy stay on longer then I did.
I wish they had made more episodes. The time-travel season arc sounds like it would have been a lot of fun!
Yeah.
They should have kept the show going I watched them all miss and love that show and miss Robin Williams even more
I was 10 when the show came out and I loved it! I even had Mork doll when you pulled a string he would say some of his famous quotes from the show.📺
That 1st season of Mork & MIndy is still fresh and funny in 2020. Absolute classic! 👍
Im watching the box set now and I'm in the 3rd season now and it's still kind of funny but it's as if they've run out of ideas what to do with Mork.
I Think it was that older lady that worked at the music shop who said it. But during an episode, she said she “he’s wiener fatigue.” I have ALWAYS wondered... what the heck is “wiener fatigue?!”
Loved Mork & Mindy. Will always moss Robin. But in a way I'm glad he isn't around to see the hate & fear in the world today.
One of my all time favourite shows. Absolutely loved it. It should have had more seasons. It was so good. There will never be a show like it again.
One of the best shows was in my early yrs. Dialog wasn't everything. Robin was was fun to watch. In latter yrs the humor off the cuff is a true talent. He will always be missed as comedian and person who graced our lives.
I remember watching the premiere episode in a bar with friends. After I had laughed myself silly, I turned to one of my friends and said, 'It's too funny. It'll never last more than a season.' Boy, I'm glad I was wrong!
I love your comment sir.
That house is my DREAM HOUSE‼️‼️. I ALWAYS wanted to live in an OLD Victorian home with “secret passages/staircases”, etc.
I wish they would have made more episodes I loved that show and Robin Williams a good actor gone to soon.
Mork and mindy was my favorite show growing up I wish they had more seasons
me too!
Im 40 and loved mork n mindy reruns as a kid
I disagree, I wish they never made the last 2 seasons, especially season 4 which was cringingly awful.
Me, too.
Mork and MIndy and Robin Williams ranked right up there with John Ritter as Jack Tripper character in Three's Company who is also a great comedian. John Ritter was a great physical humor actor and also funny comedian. Both big shows of their era.
I used to watch this show faithfully and that's where I learned of the genius that is Robin Williams. I am 46 now and I love watching old sitcoms and compare them to today. There are a LOT of 70's and 80's shows that absolutely would not fly today.
True
One of my favorite shows to this day.I had the talking cloth Mork doll.🙂
I wish M&M was STILL on because that would mean that The Late, Great Robin Williams was still alive. :-(
The actress who played Remo Davinci's sister was gorgeous !
Ended before the cliff hanger was resolved, always wondered about that
Honestly...
I only watched it for Pam dawber,
And I've never fallen out of crush with her😃❤️
Same here. I still remember the first time I saw her in a Nair commercial a couple of years before she got the role of Mindy. So cute.
There has only ever been one American comic genius.
Robin is one of the all time amazing comedians of any generation. The speed at which he can create humor is wonderful to watch. Interviews on Carson. HIs last series The Crazy Ones in 2013-2014 should have gone more seasons. It was fun to watch as was Mork.
I remember the Mindy house as a kid. We use to drive by it from time to time. I was a huge fan then ( as a young girl ) and would run around in rainbow suspenders that were referred to as my Mork suspenders.
Ever since i was little i fell in love with Mindy's CJ jeep. I think the first season it was a CJ5 but in the subsequent seasons it was a CJ7. And yes, i do own a CJ.
ABC hurt Mork & Mindy after the first season when they moved the show from Thursday at 8 and moved it against Archie Bunker's Place on Sundays at 8. And changed the supporting cast. Season 1 remains the best season
Always the time change killer.
I read once that in an episode, Mork was in a bath robe and flashed Mindy with his back to the audience. Problem was, he wasn't wearing anything under the robe so Pam got an eye full.
That sounds so like Robin, lol!
I enjoyed Mork & Mindy! Yes,yes, more shows!
The first time I saw a recording on a VCR, I saw the pilot episode of Mark & Mindy when it debuted.
More episodes I mean c'mon of course. It should still be in original programming now. Not only would that awesome show still be on....but maybe it would have been enough to keep Robin here where we needed him
I LOVED THAT SHOW!!! Robin Williams was a Comedy Genius!!❤️❤️
I am waiting for when they try to bring it back with new actors, so I can trash it as no one would ever be as great as Robin Williams.
They wouldn’t dare do that
I would have liked to Mork & Mindy on much longer but the reruns are a blast of fun most definitely
We needed more!!!
You keep saying “The Van Dyke Show” but it was called “The Dick Van Dyke Show.”
I always LOVED Mork and Mindy. I remember July 19th, 1979, the night I became a fan. I wanted the show to go on for a fifth season. I would have interesting for Mork and Mindy to go back in time, and meet Ben Franklin etc. Ben Franklin turned up on my other favourite show Bewitched. Robin Williams as Mork made me laugh so hard!!!!!
Loved Mork n Mindy. All time favorite.
It's awesome "crack" open so many interesting facts about our unique pair. Stay safe everyone!
I've had the hots for Pam Dawber for 42 years. Am I sad?
I loved Robin Williams he was my favorite
ABC should have done a 5th season because it would have been interesting to see them go back in time. Also for sinacation over 100 episodes would have been good.
I do believe mork " borrow " the split V with ur fingers from spock from star treck.
If Mork & Mindy had been more successful, the series would last much longer depriving us of some of William's talent in other works.
I liked it, but am glad Robin gave us so much more.
I had the trading cards and the book...love it
I love Mork and Mindy. I loved them as a kid too. I whach them every Saturday night on antenatal tv‼️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Us too! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
I loved more and mindy!! I do wish they would have made more shows!! Xxm
I’m currently 39 years old I live in Miami Florida. Robin Williams is my main reason I got into the entertainment industry. I’m currently a professional comedy magician and I think about them all the time my mother had me when she was 45 years old and she was a huge huge Robin Williams fan I think about them all the time
Very interesting, thank you so much for sharing your life story. We're happy to know that you're a big fan of Robin. What is your most memorable role of his?
I LOVE that show and wish that the show could have lasted a lot longer than it did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You could have a lot more stories, how Mearth got younger and how Mork got younger, where they ended up when the apartment got destroyed at the end and much more stories!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I could have enjoyed 10 more seasons... Always the dreamer 💗
Robin Williams was a genius. there is no other way to say it.
I loved the video. Some of the facts I already knew. Others, I had never heard before.
Thanks for watching! We're so glad you enjoyed this video. What other types of video would you like to see?
One of the best comedy series ever made.
There are a few episodes of Mork & Mindy going thru time & being chased by that guy & the FBI! They are on you tube now. They needed more of those for Sure!!! ;) I still LOVE it today, & binge episodes when I'm home sick from work ;) Johnathan & Robin were like 2 Peas in a POD, so quick witted it's hard to keep up! Just watch People try to interview them in old clips of talk shows! ;) I loved the Moral values they tried to teach on the show too. Always been my favorite show. 🤩
They go up to S4E22
I was about 5 when Mork and Mindy came out. Mostly I remember watching in reruns on Nick at Nite. I thought they should have done at least one or two more seasons.
4 seasons was not enough of Robin Williams. Ages 8-12 for me always watched it.
🤣😂🤣😂This show had me bugging up when I was a kid🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Love the show ❤️ BUT try growing up with the name Mindy. I STILL have dumba**es asking me "Where's Mork?". I'm 48 yrs old and apparently some ppl think I've never heard that before 🤔
I know a "Mary Ann, Mary Ann, Mary Ann!" Lifetime of lame, 'Gilligan' jokes.
I have a cousin named Mark. Used to get called "Mark From Ark".
I still get people asking about Larry or my other brother, so I feel your pain.
She not only worked as a journalist, but she was a broadcaster.
This show should still be on.
😭I still can’t believe that Robin Williams is dead😭
The goat of comedy
Granted the addition of Merth was probably jumping the shark at that time, but Jonathan Winters was an inspired choice and he was brilliant working with Robin Williams.
I think first season was the best. If the producers had kept the main theme of the series, Mork & Mindy would've been on air longer than just four seasons. Anyways, I love this show so much
Why do you think this? I'm a huge fan, so I ask this question sincerely.
@@joeymorvant161 I think that changes in the timetable made the producers change some things. It's like the relationship between Mork and Mindy during season 2 was less important or exciting like it was in the first season, in my opinion. And that's why the show lost viewers. As I said, it could've last more years that it really had if some things wouldn't have changed in the middle
@@estebanacosta2776 Ok. Thank you!
8:57 That's from the "unauthorized" tv movie, and those actors are not Robin and Pam! They do look a lot like them in that shot, though.
Andrew MacLaine Thank you! I thought I was going crazy, because they looked off!
What is this TV movie called?
READYTEDDYBEAR “The Unauthorized Story of Mork & Mindy”
@@benkenobisgirl What year was it made and is it crap or good or okay?
READYTEDDYBEAR Made in 2005 and all reports say it was *awful*.
I love the interaction of Robin Williams and Jonathan Winters but they jumped the shark when they added Jonathan to the cast as Mork and Mindy's son. It just didn't work for me, I couldn't suspend disbelief for that. Loved the show, loved the cast and miss Robin a bunch.
Na-Nu Na-Nu. Catch you in a Bleam.
With all of the reboots and revivals going on these days, THIS is one I'd love to see. Unfortunately, Robin Williams is the only one who could ever be Mork - so, sadly, this will never come to pass.
I was sad when it ended.
They don't di reruns of that show here in europe.
I would love to watch them again
I knew #'s 8 and 12. Loved this show, and wish there were more of it.
I'm guessing that the triangle on the front of the jumpsuit was a takeoff of the triangles on the Star Trek suits that later became com badges on Star Trek TNG.
"If you're a Robin Williams fan..." I'm sorry, who the f**k isn't?!
Show me, by hitting that like button. And subscribing....and possibly donating a kidney.
Well, he did a shitload of drugs, and there are certainly many people against that kind of lifestyle.
I'm not. I was a fan when I was 11 in 1978 and it was a new show, but for me, Williams' act wore thin by the time the 80s rolled around. That frantic, coked-up persona was too much after several viewings.
My sister's blind so I understand the frustration of not having Descriptive Video. You should look up his New York stand up routine from like 2002, its some of his best material (according to me) :)
The space suit is a costume, not a prop.
🐐 show
Your inhales are funny
Jonathan Winters did played Mindy's Uncle Dave McConnell on Season 3 Episode 18 on Mork and Mindy before he was recast as Mearth! I though I let you know about it: Fact Verse and everybody on UA-cam!
They could still be making it and it would be far too soon to not have Robin Williams' genius. I miss him so much.
It was also based on My Favorite Martian starring Ray Waldron and Bill Bixby.
'Though quite young at the time, I remember being shocked that one of the characters was called 'Arnold Wanker' and wondering whether the surname had the same slang meaning in the US as it does in the UK.
The word "wanker" doesn't exist in American slang, so either it was a coincidence or someone on the writing staff knew it.
Definitely they should’ve made more episodes of work and Mindy for sure
Yes!
A season 5 would have been cool. I didnt like how it ended. I have most of those cartoons
I'd love to have seen season 5.
It ended at the right time. Just right. I did enjoy it though.
It ended when it should ...before it jumped the shark...lol....
Happy Days Spin-Offs: Ironically, Happy Days was a spin-off itself from Love, America Style....
Actually, it was really only a part of Love American Style in order to be aired and given a chance to grow. If it wasn’t for the success of American Graffiti, this episode would have been all we would have ever seen of Happy Days.
@@jrbaskind Cool. Still qualifies it as one of three spin-offs of LAS....
I believe the show went as far as it could have. The first three seasons were the best and funniest
The picture at 9:05 , I’m pretty sure that’s from the unauthorized TV movie, the guy looks nothing like Robin
I loved Mork and Mindy, and still do
Yes.
Actually the character of Mork appeared in Love American Style which was the pilot of Happy Days.
