Featured review
Obsessed with Superman and heroes
"My Dad Can't Beat Up Anybody" finds Mearth enjoying his first movie, the Christopher Reeve SUPERMAN, with daddy Mork losing respect because he can't fly. Once the planet Krypton gets mentioned, Mindy has to prevent Mork from telling their son about the planet Ork, unsure of Mearth's reaction to being an alien. In order to regain his place in the household, and avoid his obsession with GENERAL HOSPITAL, Mork endeavors to get a job like Mindy's (Superman of course had two jobs) but learns his only qualification as a night watchman is that he gets along with the Doberman. While Mindy is away interviewing Colorado's governor, Mearth discovers Mork's red spacesuit hanging in the closet, so the two go off to fight crime as superheroes, encountering a real criminal in a neighborhood bar whose gun wielding antics force an enraged Mork to protect Mearth by summoning hurricane winds.
