This Kelly & Misch clip-show closes out the season, with Mork and Mindy flashing back to points in their relationship (and Mork's first acquaintance with Exidor) in order to comfort Fred, who's having adjustment problems in his marriage.  I have no idea when this is set, considering that it is supposed to be pouring down snow outside, but Fred has been mostly gone for a year.

Mork & Mindy in its second season ranges from C- to B+, with a high C+ average.  So, although it's not as good as the first season, its decline has been exaggerated.  I was surprised that it wasn't necessarily the out there episodes that were the problem, although the "Wonderland" opener was a bad idea, but rather trying to tackle the issue of the week too often, and often too clumsily.  Obviously, taking away Cora and for the most part Fred was a mistake, as was adding too many young and not terribly well defined characters as M & M's friends.  (Are there any Nelson Flavor fans out there?)  Season Three would, as I recall, try to find its way back home, with mixed results.
