Jim Staahl makes his first of thirteen appearances as Mindy's cousin Nelson Flavor in this David Misch story. (Oddly, Staahl is listed as a guest star in the closing credits, although he'd previously appeared in the opening credits, but maybe the episodes weren't running in their intended order.) The character isn't particularly likable and he doesn't seem to work as a foil, since Mork and Mindy don't really interact with him in an interesting way. I mean, I actually thought the scene in the deli, where Remo has culture shock about Boulder values (someone asks how stickball would help him grow as a person) was more entertaining. Still, there are some mildly funny lines, and it is interesting to hear Mondale references (and more Nixon of course).
Jeff Harlan, who played Bill in the Pilot, is a Customer here.
