Mork and Mindy was a half-hour sci-fi-based situation comedy broadcast from 1978 until 1982 on the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) television network. The series starred Robin Williams as Mork, an alien who had come to Earth from the planet Ork, and Pam Dawber as Mindy, his human comedic foil. Mork travelled in an egg, and at the end of every show would report to his boss, Orson, a wise old alien who was never seen, but did reply to Mork's comments.
This series was Robin Williams's first major acting break. Though the show was a spinoff of Happy Days, which was set in the 1950s, Mork and Mindy was set in the 1970s Boulder, Colorado. The comedian Jonathan Winters appeared in later episodes as the couple's infant son.
