Mork & Mindy (1978)
0 quotes from season 3
Starring: Robin Williams, Ralph James, Conrad Janis, Pam Dawber
I'm afraid there's nothing listed for this season. Add something here!
Visible crew/equipment: When Mork and Mindy are walking away from the lake after they first meet, there is a set of 8 lights in two rows of four in the background.
Trivia: Robin Williams improvised so much of his dialogue that the show's writers finally stopped writing his lines and just left blank space in the scripts with cues and prompts for him.

Suggested correction: I'm researching Mork and Mindy for a feature. Contemporary interviews say Robin Williams was given leeway to improvise but this was only about 5% of an episode. These were probably done in rehearsals and incorporated into the final scripts. It would be impossible to film each episode if Williams wholly improvised as the cameras wouldn't know if he was going to hit his marks (i.e. where any actor needs to be so is in frame) and for other cast to react to. So partly true but not the whole story.
Question: I may have this scenario slightly wrong, since I haven't seen it since the show was brand-new, but is there a scene in one episode where Mork (just him-no egg) falls from the sky and into a lake or some kind of body of water? I slightly remember this as a kid but wanted to see if I was right. Anyone know what episode this was from?
