Mork, an alien from the planet Ork, is sent to Earth to research it and report his findings to his superiors. He ends up living with a young woman, Mindy. She helps him learn about Earth and human ways and helps him adjust. This doesn't make him behave any less strange, however.
The series that was made by Robin Williams and which launched his career. He is absolutely perfect for the role of Mork: off-the-wall, outlandishly funny and spontaneous. If anyone else was in the role this series would have been quite forgettable.
Williams' antics are complemented by a great performance by Pam Dawber as Mindy. She plays it straight and the chemistry between the two of them is great. Kudos to her for not losing her composure (though I don't know how many takes each scene took!).
Wonderfully funny.
