IF MORK APPEARED IN OTHER TV SHOWS AND MOVIES

MORK AND MINDY
1978-1982 ABC

Ever wonder what would happen if Mork were to appear in shows besides Mork and Mindy? Cracked sure did. Twice.

In case you didn't know. Mork and Mindy was a sitcom about Mork (Robin Williams), an alien from Ork, sent to Earth to report about it. He's discovered by Mindy McConnell (Pam Dawber) and lives in her attic. He has a hard time adjusting to Earthling ways, not getting metaphors and sitting in furniture upside-down among other eccentricities. He sprinkles his dialogue with Orkan language saying words like “Nanoo Nanoo” and “Shazbot”. All the while he has to hide that he's from space from most people.

Here he's C3PO in The Star Wars trash compactor scene with Han Solo (Harrison Ford), Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher), and Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill).

This was probably meant to be the 1979 version of Dracula, with Frank Langella as the character.

And if you haven't had your fill of Morksploitation yet, here's an interview they had. Nanny Dickering, their recurring character, usually interviewed an auto manufacturer or food distributor, but this time she interviewed Mork.

Here's the cover for the German edition of Cracked.

And they had two special editions with Mork. One was a collection of the articles you just saw, the other one was all-new material similar to one we posted earlier this year cashing in on the Fonz.

That's right, we're only a little more than half way through. Stay tuned tomorrow for part 4 of Mork week.
