Featured review
Rightly regarded as the most celebrated episode
"Mork's Mixed Emotions" is rightly regarded as the most celebrated episode, the one where Mork's long suppressed emotions finally rise to the surface and, sadly, the final appearance for his 'main munchkin' Eugene (Jeffrey Jacquet), whose pet lizard just died. Mindy plans to celebrate her birthday with 'somebody special,' and Mork suggests it's the Pope! Awakening with the horrible thought that he actually experiences dreams, which have long been abolished on Ork, Mork feels cheap and used by the emotions dancing in his head. At the music store, a new customer (Bill Kirchenbauer, later seen as TNT in three episodes) struts in and tries to impress Mindy, who can't hide her emotions when his toupee flops out of place. This is too much for Mork: "I've seen wavy hair before but never hair waving!" Rounding up his emotions and keeping them locked up inside for good proves impossible with Mindy determined to release them, but the many different emotions drag poor Mork out into places unimagined. The climax, each kiss from Mindy sparking a different response from Mork, proved to have a lasting effect on viewers, and still resonate with this author, like so many boys watching, who couldn't resist the irresistible Pam Dawber, much like Mork!
