I would love to see this on DVD. I'm a big fan of Hanna Barbara and Ruby Spears. They were the bomb back then. Now i didn't grow up in these years but i did grow up in the 80's and 90's which HB and RB were still going strong. Loved every show they ever produced.
I would watch the "Mork & Mindy" portions again just to hear Robin Williams's voice again, and to think "Ah, a few years later he'll voice the Genie in "Aladdin" and be absolutely brilliant". Still miss him...
Talk about forgetting a show. And I did see this on ABC (obviously) since they showed the live action ones of these. Man these were the days you could stay in your pajamas till Noon or after American Bandstand was over and then get on with your day

WOW Been ages since I saw this cartoon. I had seen the Happy Days Gang and Laverne and Shirley cartoon but had forgotten the Mork and Mindy cartoon. Loved all three of the TV shows.
@crescentfreshbret No, just the family sitcoms, which Mork and Mindy was. They also had Mork and Mindy lunch boxes and toys. I really have no idea how Laverne and Shirley got a cartoon. That one had me scratching my head even as a kid.
Mark Evanier has explained it- that ABC made a deal with Garry Marshall (or someone else at Paramount) to air cartoon versions of Marshall's prime time hits. And so there was Fonz & the Happy Days Gang (80) Laverne & Shirley in the Army (81) and finally Mork & Mindy (82). Evanier says none of those 3 shows did as well in the ratings as the shows they replaced. He know this because he worked on Thundarr the Barbarian, which was one of the shows which got booted to make room for Marshall's shows.
@@BobbyDrake2000 I'm thinking The Odd Couple In Space--if not the stone age--would've been more likely, somce we are speaking of Garry Marshall's hits.
Mork: Nanooo, nanooo! Orson: Mork! Mork: Yes, your immenseness? Orson: You won't learn anything about that planet playing games. Go enroll in school. Mork: So I can learn to play games? Orson: No! I mean a regular school! Now go find yourself a place to stay and get hopping! Mindy: Just make yourself at home Mork!
@Neville6000 Well it's just a matter of different time ,different era.....everyone likes something different...fans who grew up in the 60's, 70's 80's 90's and 200's will naturally like those cartoons they grew up with. it's the same with music. you will like the music you grew up with compared to other decades.
If they ever release this show on DVD, I expect both segments released separately - the L&S/Fonz segments would be released with the earlier episodes of L&S in the Army.
I never watch this and it looks like I didn't miss anything. The Fonz cartoon was best when he was in the time machine. It was always interesting to see him handle bad guys from different periods of history.
I remember this. I don't remember a lot about it, though. I remember the Laverne & Shirley theme in the opening medley. I suppose, they were trying to create a Private Benjamin type of feel. Things like this, Plasticman, and the plethora of Live show conversions weren't always the best, but they were far better than the stuff today. I long for crappy 80's cartoons.
I grew up watching "Mork and Mindy" in Arabic dubs in my childhood memories. It seems that Mork and Mindy set off the high school. I thought was a live-action series?
Mork & MIndy was canceled in the summer of 1982, so by the time this cartoon came on in September 1982, the live-action show was off the air. This was probably a desperate attempt by the studio to keep the characters going. All of the original cast from the show did the voices here, but obviously it didn't help since this show was canceled after just one season. I don't think there are any episodes around, I've only ever seen the introduction.
Most of these cartoons (Mork & Mindy) are now on TH-cam. They are really suitable for little kids though. It really is Robin and Pam voicing them....maybe they will put out a dvd set of these someday.
This was a weird time for cartoons a lot of tv shows were getting cartoons. Gill8hand island got a sat morning cartoon. Mr t got a sat morning cartoon. Happy days got one. . all were terrible. Mr t was pretty good. So was hulk hogans rock n wrestling
Hanna-Barbera animated ALL of the segments, and both companies weren't united until Ted Turner's various buyouts of the '90's made them cousins underneath the corporate banner of Warner Bros./Cartoon Network.
I am a happier person not knowing this existed until now. Regarding the comment on the top, I do wonder how much blow was snorted in the executive board room to have this greenlighted.
Excuse me, but I'm a fan of that 'computer animated crud' (Iron Man, Grossology, a couple of others) and they sure as hell are more imaginative than cartoons based on Mork & Mindy/Happy Days/Laverne & Shirley. Just in case you think I don't know what I'm talking about, I'm 41-old enough to have seen these shows.
CSI Plus 4: similar to 'Emergency Plus 4', but with teenagers helping out the CSI guys solve crimes (complete with their own van!) NCIS: TAS, same as CSI Plus 4 Battlestar Galactica, complete with teenagers who are slight 'clones of Lee, Bill Adama, Starbuck, and Tigh NUMBERS: The Animates Series, complete with a team of young helpers of the NUMBERS gang.
The unification of the two companies is more then likely post Taft buy out but don't kid yourself that they practically were always sister companies. The studios shared a lot of talent, collaborated on shows, and even produced several cells with their characters together. If anything Ruby Spears creations might as well be HB's step children and since then they are all now legally Hanna Barberas anyway. Damn shame actually animated crossover didn't get to happen from them all, but i do hear there's drawings for a potential Scooby/Fonzie cross over out there, someone needs to post those things online. And i think i've said this elsewhere, don't get the hate on this. It does exactly what it's supposed to be, a fun celebrity cartoon. I'm not expecting any more than silly fun and that's exactly what this delivers. I'd buy it in a heart beat if CBS releases it as i bet others will too. And hell if Joannie's spinoff can see a release, these animated ones should get out too to milk all the money than can out of the Happy Days franchise.
Adding a minor addendum to that, because i know some internet slouch will throw back at me that everyone hated this, but at this point cut the HB hate bs. WB already shattered that nonsense by welcoming just about all the other things people like to say sucked and everyone hated to DVD. If things like Sealab 2020, Pinky Elmrya and the Brain and Scrappy Doo are all big enough for DVD regardless of what the delusional internet base says, then i'm feeling pretty good that this is too.
I've think i've entered an alternate dimension, where cartoons suck hardcore and openings are nonsensical. But 4kids has always been that way! *Laugh track*
You don't have to get so defensive. This cartoon is far from great, but it aired at a time when Saturday Mornings were still a tradition for cartoons, therefore it gets a pass.
@Neville6000 By P&P I'm referring to Phineas and F(Ph?)erb. Shoulda said P&F. They are original, but not very good. Mork and Mindy was unoriginal AND bad.
ABC canceled Mork & Mindy in May of 1982, right before they made their Saturday Morning Cartoon debut in the fall of that same year, as part of "The Mork & Mindy/Laverne & Shirley/Fonz Hour.
I think the problem with that show is that it wasn't portrayed correctly. I mean you got the idea that the characters were still stuck back at home in their minds instead of seeing marriage as a brave new world. I would've liked it had they been Grace of my Heart. You know, like struggling singer/songwriter as opposed to big fish in a small pond. I mean just the intro alone you get your hopes up that the characters are already stars. Each year should've worked up to that happening by season 7.
Cartoons back than were so awesome!
This was awesome cartoon? Ffs...put the bottle down and go sleep it off...
I would love to see this on DVD. I'm a big fan of Hanna Barbara and Ruby Spears. They were the bomb back then. Now i didn't grow up in these years but i did grow up in the 80's and 90's which HB and RB were still going strong. Loved every show they ever produced.

At least they didn't try making cartoon versions Norman Lear's shows. Can you imagine Archie Bunker in space?😯
So!?!. That's what happened to Thundar the Barbarian. I always thought why did they let the show go. Lots of kids loved that show. Shame on them!!!

All of sudden I have the need to shove a pencil in my eye.
It's still here.
Mork and Mindy the animated series, with 24 episodes, doesn't seem to be available as a DVD box set.
If they ever release this show on DVD, I expect both segments released separately - the L&S/Fonz segments would be released with the earlier episodes of L&S in the Army.
Both The Fonz & The Happy Days Gang and Laverne & Shirley is released on DVD.
I remember that cartoon!
This is more fun to watch when you triping on lsd like i am its awsome
By the power of hasenpfeffer incorporated!
I will take this cartoon over so called cartoons today.
wow never knew this existed

Show stunk in my opinion..
I used to watch the show on TV when I was a kid.
You and only two other ppl...😂🤣
@@celticwarrior6349 Okay...
I use to watch that when I was in the 1st grade: that brought back memories when saturday mornings were "The shit". T_T.

How about The Kid Super-Power Hour with Shazam?
Not all of today’s cartoons are bad. We had gravity falls, amphibia, regular show, and other good shows.
Yet Hanna-Barbera and Ruby-Spears collaborated to work on this show like they did with "The Plastic Man Comedy/Adventure Show."
Robin Williams did not need a cartoon. Hell, he was a cartoon LOL
I grew up watching "Mork and Mindy" in Arabic dubs in my childhood memories. It seems that Mork and Mindy set off the high school. I thought was a live-action series?
Think they could fit Good Times in their too?

Yamoguchie Namu Namu Versus Mork Nanu Nanu
Jeez. The turned EVERY sitcom into a cartoon back then, didn't they?
Damn right. Well said.
I think the joke is that he's a "chauvinist pig." I can't believe I didn't think of that before.
They're both in association with Paramount.
Believe it or not, this was actually a real cartoon!
Damn, what happened to Saturday Mornings?!
I didn't know they did an animated Mork and Mindy,knew about the rest though.
Ruby-Spears Production helped make this cartoon.
This is actual images projected live from the mind of Robin Williams during the filming of Mork And Mindy.He was that high
All i can say is..wow
It's the Mork music for me😸🤭

You must been lonely kid then...lol😅
Again, you said it!
Wow I thought this was some kind of urban legend...it was really a show?
I am a happier person not knowing this existed until now. Regarding the comment on the top, I do wonder how much blow was snorted in the executive board room to have this greenlighted.
Ruby-Spears animated the Mork And Mindy segments while Hanna-Barbera did the Laverne And Shirley/Fonz segments.
I think you can say there were too many spin-offs by this time.
Well lord-knows that All In The Family certainly had enough... with Gloria, Archie Bunker's Place and The Jeffersons.
Ah High School Saturday Mornings :0)
RIP RW!!
why does mork and mindy have the samford and son intro theme? 0:14
I had never thought of the idea of a cartton "Joanie Loves Chachi" before, but it does sounds like an amusing concept! Too bad it never materialized!
I've done the same for Wayne's World, where they start & end the episodes with live-action reflections on the animated adventures they go on.
The Mandela Effect strikes again.
No, only Ruby-Spears made this show. Warner Bros. owns the studio properties and Plastic Man, since he's owned by DC, which is owned by Warners.
You said it.
@gtz1975 There was one done with dogs called the Barkleys. And no, I'm not making that up.
