ABC. In Italia le prime due stagioni furono trasmesse su Rai 2 nel 1. Italia Uno le repliche degli episodi delle due stagioni per poi trasmettere la terza e la quarta stagione con un nuovo doppiaggio. I protagonisti della serie televisiva sono Mindy Mc. Connell (Pam Dawber), graziosa ragazza della provincia statunitense che lavora in un negozio di strumenti musicali, e Mork (Robin Williams), un alieno umanoide arrivato sulla Terra dal pianeta Ork su un'astronave a forma di uovo.
Mork aveva però precedentemente fatto un'altra apparizione nel 2. Happy Days, dal titolo Fantascienza anche per Fonzie (2. Mork & Mindy" è in effetti uno spin- off, anche se in Italia quell'episodio è andato in onda quando "Mork & Mindy" era già una serie di successo. La natura di Mork, fin troppo singolare e imprevedibile, convince Mindy che non gli sarebbe possibile sopravvivere da solo nel nostro mondo; quindi decide di ospitarlo nella propria soffitta, e di cercare d'introdurlo agli usi e costumi umani. Chiaramente le situazioni e i risultati che derivano da questo tentativo sono esilaranti, e allo stesso tempo fortemente ironici. Il candore di Mork e la pazienza di Mindy mettono in una prospettiva nuova e inusitata i comportamenti e le idiosincrasie umane. Particolarmente significativi sono i rapporti con le altre figure occasionali della serie, fra cui anziani brontoloni, immigrati clandestini, uno stregone pazzoide dal nome di Exidor e vari altri.

Lo stesso Mork, alla fine di ogni episodio, è solito invocare un contatto mentale con il leader della propria gente, Orson (di cui si sente solo la voce), e discutere con lui gli aspetti della vita sulla Terra esaminati nell'episodio stesso. La serie riscosse un enorme successo in tutto il mondo. Molti atteggiamenti "alieni" di Mork, quali ad esempio il sedersi con la faccia sui cuscini di un divano e le gambe sulla spalliera e bere drink aspirandoli con il dito della mano, sono diventati degli stereotipi diffusi, e hanno contribuito in modo determinante al successo di Robin Williams come attore brillante. Del resto questi singolari atteggiamenti furono una sua improvvisazione al provino in cui fu scelto per interpretare Mork. La sigla italiana dal titolo Na- no na- no, era interpretata da Bruno D'Andrea. Il sesto episodio della seconda stagione della serie italiana Crimini è intitolato Mork e Mindy: i soprannomi dei due protagonisti rappresentano un esplicito riferimento a questa serie statunitense.
Il titolo della canzone "Pork e Cindy" degli Elio e le Storie Tese è una chiara citazione del telefilm. La canzone "Mork" dei Timoria dell'album El Topo Grand Hotel cita nella prima strofa: "Mi chiamo Mork/e vengo da Ork"Sul giornale satirico Cuore furono pubblicate delle strisce intitolate "Pork e Minghi". Nel finale della canzone "Night Prowler" degli AC/DC, Bon Scott dice "Na- no na- no".
Nel 2. 01. 4 l'attore Robin Williams entra nel cast di The Crazy Ones. Nel diciannovesimo episodio della serie come ospite speciale c'è Pam Dawber che ritorna in scena a fianco di Williams dopo trent'anni dalla serie che ha fatto il successo di quest'ultimo.
Mork & Mindy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Mork & Mindy is an American sitcom broadcast from 1. ABC. It stars Robin Williams as Mork, an extraterrestrial who comes to Earth from the planet Ork in a small, one- man egg- shaped spaceship. Pam Dawber co- stars as Mindy Mc. Connell, his human friend and roommate.
Broadcast history[edit]Premise and initial success[edit]The series is a spin- off from the sitcom Happy Days. The character of Mork is played by a then- unknown Robin Williams, who impressed producer Garry Marshall with his quirky comedic ability as soon as they met. When Williams was asked to take a seat at the audition, Williams immediately sat on his head on the chair and Marshall cast him on the spot, and later wryly commented that Williams was the only alien who auditioned for the role.[1]Mork appears in the Happy Days Season 5 episode, "My Favorite Orkan", which first aired in February 1. My Favorite Martian. Williams's character, Mork, attempts to take Richie Cunningham back to his planet of Ork as a human specimen, but his plan is foiled by Fonzie.
In the initial broadcast of this episode, it all turned out to be a dream that Richie had, but when Mork proved so popular, the ending was re- edited to show Mork erasing the experience from everyone's minds, thus meaning the event had actually happened and wasn't a dream.[citation needed]In Mork & Mindy, Mork resides in a Boulder, Colorado setting of the late 1. Happy Days setting of Milwaukee in the late- 1. Mork arrives on Earth in an egg- shaped spacecraft. He has been assigned to observe human behavior by Orson, his mostly unseen and long- suffering superior (voiced by Ralph James).
Orson has sent Mork, in order to get him off Ork, where humor is not permitted. Attempting to fit in, Mork dresses in an Earth suit, but wears it backward. He encounters 2. 1- year- old Mindy (Pam Dawber) who is upset after an argument with her boyfriend, and offers assistance.
Because of his odd garb, she mistakes him for a priest and is taken in by his willingness to listen (in fact, simply observing her behavior). When Mindy notices his backward suit and unconventional behavior, she asks who he really is, and he innocently tells her the truth. She promises to keep his identity a secret and allows him to move into her attic. Mindy's father Fred (Conrad Janis) objects to his daughter living with a man (particularly one as bizarre as Mork), but Fred's mother- in- law Cora (Elizabeth Kerr) approves of Mork and the living arrangement. Mindy and Cora work at Fred's music store, where Cora gives lessons to Eugene (Jeffrey Jacquet), a child who becomes Mork's friend. Also seen occasionally are Mindy's snooty old high school friend Susan (Morgan Fairchild) and the possibly insane Exidor (Robert Donner). Storylines usually center on Mork's attempts to understand human behavior and American culture as Mindy helps him to adjust to life on Earth.
It usually ends up frustrating Mindy, as Mork can only do things according to Orkan customs. For example, lying to someone or not informing them it will rain, is considered a practical joke (called "splinking") on Ork. At the end of each episode, Mork reports back to Orson on what he has learned about Earth. These end- of- show summaries allow Mork to humorously comment on social norms. Mork's greeting is "Na- Nu Na- Nu" (pronounced ) along with a hand gesture similar to Mr. Spock's Vulcan salute from Star Trek combined with a handshake. It became a popular catchphrase at the time, as did "Shazbot" (), an Orkan profanity that Mork uses.
Mork says "KO" in place of "OK". This series is Robin Williams's first major acting role and became famous for Williams's use of his manic improvisational comedic talent. Williams would make up so many jokes during filming, eventually scripts had specific gaps where Williams was allowed to freely perform. In many scenes, Dawber had to bite her lip to avoid laughing and ruining the take. The series was extremely popular in its first season. The Nielsen ratings were very high, ranking at 3, behind Laverne & Shirley (at 1) and Three's Company (at 2), both on ABC, which was the highest rated network in the U.
S. in 1. 97. 8. The show gained higher ratings than the Happy Days series that had spawned it, at 4.[2][3] However, the network management sought to improve the show in several ways. This was done in conjunction with what is known in the industry as counterprogramming, a technique in which a successful show is moved opposite a ratings hit on another network. The show was moved from Thursdays, where it outrated CBS' The Waltons, to Sundays where it replaced the canceled sci- fi series Battlestar Galactica. The show then aired against two highly rated shows: NBC's anthology series titled The Sunday Big Event and CBS' revamped continuation of All in the Family titled Archie Bunker's Place.[2]Second season[edit]The second season saw an attempt to seek younger viewers and premiered a new disco arrangement of the gentle theme tune.
The characters of Fred and Cora were dropped from the regular cast. It was explained that Fred went on tour as a conductor with an orchestra, taking Cora with him. Fred and Cora made return appearances in later episodes. Recurring characters Susan and Eugene made no further appearances after season one and were never mentioned again.
New cast members were added. Among the new supporting characters were Remo and Jeanie Da.
Vinci (Jay Thomas and Gina Hecht), a brother and sister from New York City who owned a new neighborhood deli where Mork and Mindy now spent a lot of time. Also added as regulars were their grumpy neighbor Mr. Bickley (who was seen occasionally in the first season and ironically worked as a verse writer for a greeting- card company), portrayed by Tom Poston, and Nelson Flavor (Jim Staahl), Mindy's snooty cousin who ran for city council.
The show's main focus was no longer on Mork's slapstick attempts to adjust to the new world he was in, but on the relationship between Mork and Mindy on a romantic level. Also, some of the focus was on Mork trying to find a steady- paying job. Because of the abrupt changes to the show and time slot, ratings slipped dramatically (from 3 to 2.
The show was quickly moved back to its previous timeslot and efforts were made to return to the core of the series; however, ratings did not recover. Third season[edit]For the third season, Jeanie, Remo, and Nelson were retained as regulars with Jeanie and Remo having opened a restaurant. Mindy's father and grandmother returned to the series.
The show acknowledged this attempt to restore its original premise, with the third season's hour- long opener titled "Putting The Ork Back in Mork". Several new supporting characters were added to the lineup. Joining were two children from the day- care center where Mork worked named Lola and Stephanie.
Also added was Mindy's close friend Glenda Faye Comstock (Crissy Wilzak). Wilzak lasted one season as a regular. When these ideas failed to improve ratings, many wilder ideas were tried to attempt to capitalize on Williams' comedic talents. The season ended at number 4.
Fourth season[edit]Despite the show's steady decline, ABC agreed to a fourth season of Mork & Mindy, but executives wanted changes. The show began to include special guest stars this year.
In the fourth season, Mork and Mindy were married. Jonathan Winters, one of Williams's idols, was brought in as their child, Mearth.
Because of the different Orkan physiology, Mork laid an egg, which grew and hatched into the much older Winters.[4] Winters had previously appeared in a season 3 episode as Dave Mc. Connell (Mindy's uncle and Fred's brother). It had been previously explained that Orkans aged "backwards", thus explaining Mearth's appearance and that of his teacher, Miss Geezba (portrayed by then- 1. Louanne Sirota). After four seasons and 9. Mork & Mindy was canceled in the summer of 1. The show ended at 6.
