MORK

MORK AND MINDY 1978-1982 ABC

CRACKED COLLECTORS' EDITION: MORK
Cracked Collectors' Edition #35, May 1980

Here's most of it. There was also a game and some iron-ons. They published another one, the cover of which was posted yesterday. 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.
Lots of reliance on movie stills. See what actors and movies you can identify.

Still of John Belushi in Saturday Night Live
The middle is from Dr. No.
Charles Bronson in the top.
Logan's Run at the top.
Either Invisible Man or Son of the Invisible Man, and the policeman kind of looks like Peter Sellers.
Bottom: Eddie Albert, Mickey Rooney, Burt Reynolds, Liz Taylor, Shelley Winters? I doubt I'm right.
Tomorrow, the final part of Mork week, then we move to Mortal Kombat and further along in the alphabet.

    1. Correction: the Mickey Rooney movie, which I listed as Diary of a Gangster, is actually titled Pulp.
