Mork & Mindy: To Tell the Truth

Mork & Mindy: To Tell the Truth
ABC
November 2, 1978
Sitcom
DVD
C+

This April Kelly story feels a bit off, from the jokes that fall flat to Mork's ability to resurrect the dead.  Also, when Eugene (Jacquet) is supposed to be playing the violin horribly, we can't hear anything.  And I think that Cora's dress that's supposed to be terrible is actually cute.  Note that the name of the mean landlord, Arnold Wanker (played by Logan Ramsey, who was Col. Lambert on M*A*S*H) was not as obviously a "flying past the radar" joke in '78 as it would be these days.

Fay DeWitt, who was Betsy on That Girl, plays Annie Wanker.  Stu Silver, who plays one of the Paramedics, was mostly a writer/producer, including of Soap.
