- TriviaThe title is likely also an homage to the 1968 classic science-fiction film, "2001: A Space Odyssey."
- GoofsThe frog Mearth pulls out of his pocket and that is shown from a distance is clearly fake, while when shown up close it's real.
- Quotes
Mork: You see, sir, I've learned that although it's good to encourage your child to shoot for the stars, it's not always good to choose which galaxy. You see, if it's up to parents, there'd only be three jobs in the whole world: doctor, lawyer and wholesale jeweler.
Orson: But don't you want Mearth to pursue a career you can be proud of?
Mork: Sir, that's not our decision. And we'll honor his choice even if he wants to become a network executive.

Featured review
Life in Orkan school
"P.S. 2001" opens with Mearth lamenting that he can't go to school, leading to Orson calling Mindy during the night to request the application promised by Mork on behalf of Mearth attending school on Ork, one day each month. Being an adult growing younger will make him the same as the other students, which include Zelka (Maureen Arthur) and Ovits (Harvey Lembeck), under the tutelage of Miss Geezba (Louanne). Unfortunately, after one day at school Mearth suddenly wants to quit, so Mork and Mindy beam up to Ork in similar Star Trek mode to learn why. Mork remembers the feared Miss Geezba, who still demands he turn in his long awaited book report (it burned up on reentry!). Ovits proves to be the class bully, while Zelka wants to be Mearth's friend (both would return for "Pajama Game II").
