Mork, an alien from the planet Ork on a mission to Earth to study human behavior, travels to 1970s Boulder, Colo., where he meets up with Mindy, a young journalism graduate, after his egg-shaped spacecraft lands there. The bumbling alien is trying to get a handle on Earth culture, and his frequent dispatches back to his home planet give him the opportunity to sound off on human foibles. This spinoff of "Happy Days" features Robin Williams as Mork in an early starring role for the comic actor. As Mork would say, "Na-nu, na-nu!"

Susan King Los Angeles Times Mork's expressions of "Nanu! Nanu!" and "Shazbat" became part of American slang. Jul 18, 2018 Full Review David Wiegand San Francisco Chronicle In retrospect, [bringing in Winters] was probably a bad idea if it was meant to save the show, but still, here were the two greatest boundary-busting TV comics of all time, behaving like the overgrown precocious children that, at heart, they both were. Jul 18, 2018 Full Review Jess Cagle Entertainment Weekly Mork, the cosmic tourist from the planet Ork, ranks right up there with the most brilliantly conceived characters ever to be (barely) contained on the small screen. Jul 18, 2018 Full Review Nick Venable CinemaBlend Its last season was a bit of a mess...but this Garry Marshall co-creation was anchored by solid jokes, Williams' otherworldly chemistry with co-star Pam Dawber, and his conversations with his homeworld superior Orson. Jul 18, 2018 Full Review Meghan Daum Baltimore Sun Watching Mork again makes you wonder if that puffy-haired, whirling dervish of an alien was, if not Williams' greatest role, ultimately his most personal one. Jul 18, 2018 Full Review Josh Jackson Paste Magazine Things went largely downhill...with the introduction of Jonathan Winters as Mork and Mindy's "baby" in Season 4, but even bad Mork & Mindy was better than most sitcoms of its era.
