Bizarre television comedy with Robin Williams as Mork from Ork, who is an alien sent to Earth in an egg, to investigate Earth and report back to his superiors. As an outsider, Mork is unfamiliar with human customs and often questions some of the strange traditions that we take for granted. Much of the humor relies on Williams' unique comic voices and mannerisms. The show was perhaps most famous for Mork's greeting, "Nanu Nanu".

Mork & Mindy Ratings & Reviews
- Noah Austin BrooksJune 3, 2025Happy Days spin-off about a normal woman who lives with an alien played by Robin Williams. It's about as normal as it sounds.
- RichyEOctober 18, 2025Saw this one on TV as a kid, probably Dutch or German broadcast, maybe subtitled, maybe dubbed. Didn’t understand half of it, but Robin Williams made it impossible to look away. Mork was an alien in rainbow suspenders, sent to Earth in an egg and everything he did felt like a cartoon trapped in a sitcom. The show was loud, weird and full of physical comedy. “Nanu Nanu” became playground language. Mindy was the straight face to Mork’s chaos and Boulder, Colorado looked like a place where aliens could just chill. As a kid, it was pure fun. As an adult revisiting it, you see the improv, the satire and the sadness behind the eyes. But back then? It was just a guy drinking with his finger and sitting on his head.
