SHAZBOT!
I forgot that Mork made an appearance on "Happy Days" once.
I always loved Mindy's amazing hair.

This is long, but extremely important:
The character of Mork was introduced in an episode of Happy Days titled "My Favorite Orkan". Richie tells everyone he has seen a flying saucer but no one else believes him. Fonzie tells him that people make up stories about UFOs because their lives are "humdrum". Then, while Richie is at home, Mork walks in and freezes everyone with his finger except Richie. Mork says he was sent to Earth to find a "humdrum" human to take back to his planet Ork. Richie escapes and runs to Fonzie for help. When Mork catches up to him, he freezes everyone but finds himself unable to freeze Fonzie due to The Fonz's famous and powerful thumbs. Mork challenges Fonzie to a duel: Finger vs. Thumb. After their duel, The Fonz admits defeat. But Mork decides to take Fonzie back to Ork instead of Richie. Then Richie wakes up and realizes he was only dreaming. There is a knock on the door and much to Richie's dismay, it is a man who looks exactly like Mork except in regular clothes asking for directions.
When production on Mork & Mindy began, an extra scene was filmed and added to this episode for subsequent reruns: in the scene, Mork contacts Orson and explains that he decided to let Fonzie go, and was going to travel to the year 1978 to continue his mission.
Fonzie and Laverne (of Laverne & Shirley) appeared in the first episode of Mork & Mindy. In one segment, Mork returns to 1950s Milwaukee where Fonzie sets Mork up on a date with Laverne.
Mork returned to an episode of Happy Days in 1979. Mork tells Richie that he enjoys coming to the 1950s because life is simpler and more "humdrum" than in the 1970s. Fonzie sees Mork and immediately tries to run away but Mork freezes him and makes him stay. He eventually lets him go, but not before Fonzie asks Mork to reveal two things about the future: "Cars and girls". Mork's response is "In 1979... both are faster." The episode is mostly a retrospective in which clips are shown as Richie and Fonzie try to explain the concepts of love and friendship to Mork.
Food for thought...
My only question now is whether Mork and the Fonz ever exchanged notes regarding the Whooper triplets.
