Mork & Mindy: Mork Runs Down

Mork & Mindy: Mork Runs Down
ABC
April 12, 1979
Sitcom
DVD
C+

This is the only Mork episode written by Ben Starr, who also wrote for The Brady Bunch and Diff'rent Strokes.  I don't know if he just didn't have the sensibility for this show or if Williams's ad-libs were off that week, but I felt like this episode was more frantic than funny.  Note that Mindy's grandmother here fits the '70s trope of being a motorcycle-owning old lady.

Susan Elliot, who plays Mindy's hippie-like friend Rainbow, would be Girl #2 on Bosom Buddies.  Jeffrey Jacquet makes his last appearance as Eugene.
