This David Misch story has some very funny moments, although some of those are probably improvised by Williams. It also has a slightly muddled but still relevant point about Mork trying to be a pacifist despite pressure, including from Mindy. Note that when Mork and Mindy first enter the restaurant, the studio audience enthusiastically applauds, which was de rigueur for ABC '70s sitcom audiences, although the level of enthusiasm indicates that this was probably taped at a point when the show was already a hit. Also note that when Mork does a pirate voice and squint, it's proto-Popeye.
Kit McDonough, who plays Marcia the waitress, had a very different role on the first Three's Company episode to air, as Patricia "My friends call me Pattikins" Crawford. Tom Kindle, who's Rick, would return in two different roles.
