Technically, this show first started in 1978, but it really gained steam in the 80's. (Who else dressed up like Mork for Halloween?)


NBC did a movie on the series and it will air Monday, April 4




NBC once again offers viewers a peek behind the entertainment curtain as it re-visits the 1970s classic comedy "Mork & Mindy" in this new movie, based on the comedy series that launched the career of the Award-winning actor and beloved comedian Robin Williams. The movie exposes the tumultuous four years of creative infighting, personal problems, network interference as well as depicts Williams' painful struggle to cope with his newfound fame and overnight success.

This entertaining and hard-hitting behind the scenes look features newcomer Chris Diamantopoulos (NBC's "American Dreams") as Williams, whose role as the winsome alien visitor, "Mork," captured the hearts of millions of American viewers. Williams began his career as a young, rising comedian who was cast as an alien on an episode of "Happy Days" which unexpectedly became a huge ratings success and catapulted him into overnight television stardom.

Erinn Hayes ("Significant Others") also stars as Pam Dawber, a young actress who became instantly recognized for her role as "Mindy," the likeable human who "Mork" boarded with on the sitcom. And Daniel Roebuck (who starred as Jay Leno in "The Late Shift") plays legendary television sitcom producer Garry Marshall.

"Behind the Camera: The Unauthorized Story of 'Mork & Mindy'" is executive-produced by Matt Dorff (NBC's "Behind the Camera: The Unauthorized Story of 'Charlie's Angels'") and Jim Head ("A Christmas Wedding") and produced by Once Upon a Time Films. Neil Fearnley ("Inside the Osmonds") directs from writer, David Misch, whose first writing job was on "Mork & Mindy."


Mork and Mindy

I loved this show!

This was the first "Will they, won't they" sitcom couple that I can recall. I loved the comedy of it ... and one of my favorite eppies is the one where Mork has amnesia or something like that and forgets his feelings for Mindy. Very touching, especially at the end when a sad Mindy kisses him and then he remembers what love is.

Lol, I loved that! I loved how he would try to "free" the eggs, & when they'd smash he'd go, "Shazbot!", LOL.
