Featured review
Robert Donner debuts as Exidor
"Mork Runs Away" marked the debut of Robert Donner as Exidor, self proclaimed 'Space Admiral' for the Friends of Venus, whose every appearance was enough to set the studio audience into rounds of applause. Mindy's love life has come to a stop since Mork moved in, and a call from an old beau (James David Hinton) has her convincing her father to take Mork to a basketball game. Just as things are becoming romantic, in walks Mork to discuss how Mindy's father put a halt to the game when a series of Mork-inspired mishaps occurred. Misunderstanding the situation, the boyfriend quickly exits, Mindy shedding a few tears that demonstrate to Mork how she's hurting: "your eyes are leaking!" A tear actually forms in his eye as well, so he decides that Mindy would be better off if he ran away for parts unknown. 'Main munchkin' Eugene (Jeffrey Jacquet) figures Mork can't go far on six big ones, so he suggests a nearby flophouse, where Mork meets the equally eccentric Exidor, convinced that the Venusians are coming down to destroy the earth on Labor Day, but will provide a spaceship to save 1000 lucky souls. With only 3 on board thus far, Exidor is delighted to find a true believer, then dismayed to learn that Mork actually visited Venus, reporting that they haven't the technology for space travel. Mindy has no trouble locating Mork with the Friends of Venus, and lets him know that her apartment isn't home without someone she cares about. A tender hug gets Mork going, and he admits he doesn't know what it is! Exidor would total an amazing 23 episodes, all memorable for his presence, forever spouting off to one imaginary playmate after another, Mork always willing to believe his friend if not his eyes.
