80's Television

Na-nu, na-nu, and hello earthlings. Today's retro flashback to the 1980's genre known as sci-fi comedy brings us a young alien by the name of Mork. Shortly after his crazy appearances on "Happy Days," Robin Williams turned his character known as Mork into his own series along with his co-star, never-to-be-heard-from-again Pam Dawber. It definitely had its share of crazy, whacked out comedy as only Robin Williams can produce. Here's the intro to "Mork and Mindy"... Shazbot!



Just about every episode Mork would call back home to Orson with a solid message for all of us...
