This Neil Lebowitz story offers one of the more dubious lessons on the show, that Earthlings aren't trusting enough.  I would've liked it better if Mork had learned that you can trust some people but not all.  Still, it is fun to see him and Exidor play off each other again, especially with Exidor's new worship of OJ Simpson.  Note that it's now snowing in Boulder, while over in Korea the seasons fluctuate wildly.  Also, Williams gets a line something like "We don't have sex on Ork, we have to do something with our time" past the censors, as well as an Anita Bryant reference.

Dittman (Dan Barrows, who was Mr. Keeney on The Bob Newhart Show, has his first of two roles on this show, as Dittman, the criminal Mork sets free.  Pat Cranshaw, at that point still only 59 but continuing to look old for his age, makes his first of six Mork appearances, this time as The Man in the Store.  Ed Bernard, who plays Officer Boyd, had recently been "Shirley's Boyfriend" on the episode of that name on What's Happening!!
