Review of Mindy, Mindy, Mindy

"Mindy, Mindy, Mindy" begins with Mork having to spend an entire weekend without Mindy because she's in Kansas on assignment for KTNS-TV. With photos of Mindy adorning the apartment, Mork figures he'd have a good time with Bickley, only to be firmly turned down. Visiting for his 87th birthday is The Elder (Vidal I. Peterson), previously seen in the third season opener "Putting the Ork Back in Mork," who missed seeing the 'soft wrapped one,' and agrees to Mork's suggestion that he clone Mindy. The first comes out an intellectual snob, wearing glasses and in need of a good book, while the second is into wrestling. Enter the one time only presence of landlord Al Klevins (Larry Gelman), ready to install a smoke alarm, who takes one look at the apartment and concludes it's a mess: "hard to tell with all this junk lying around!" A third clone resembles Pam Dawber's Bonny Lee Beaumont in "The Girl, the Gold Watch & Everything," a sexy siren complete with southern accent. Imagine the shock when the real Mindy arrives home in the nick of time, only to discover the various imitations: "Mork, where'd you get the dead Mindys?"
