The two of those guys were so nuts, so wonderfully nuts together and so funny.' In retrospect, what a wonderful thing that would have been to have. And wouldn't you know it, Robin's damn management said no. 'Paramount agreed to do it, we all wrote it off as yes. Jonathan would go off and you'd never see him again!' Despite the craziness, Dawber recognized that she was in the presence of two comedic geniuses and concocted a plan to have a documentary made about them.

'Robin could go off, do some brilliant improvisational thing, and come back. It could take up to 2 hours before they could actually begin filming, often exhausting the studio audience with laughter before the filming of the episode could properly start. The addition of Jonathan Winters as Mearth was meant to help spark Robin Williams creativity, but while it succeeded, there was a flip side, in part because Williams and Winters frequently devolved into improvisations that were too X-rated for television. I felt like I was starting to imitate myself on the show.' After a while my ideas started to run out. 'I was getting burned out,' Storm recalled. Remo, Jeannie, Nelson, Lola, Stephanie and Glenda Faye were all dropped, though Glenda Faye made one guest-appearance in ' Long Before We Met.' Resident director Howard Storm also left the series and was replaced by Bob Claver. Bickley and Exidor each made regular appearances throughout the season. Stories revolved around Mork and Mindy's struggles with marriage and parenthood. They honeymoon on Ork, evidently highly successfully, as after a month of marriage in a huge twist Mork falls pregnant and lays an egg from his new belly-button which rapidly grows and hatches their full-grown son, Mearth. Picking up on their finally having declared their love for one another at Season 3's end, Mork proceeds to propose to Mindy, and after overcoming both personal and external obstacles, Mork and Mindy get married, with Mork taking Mindy's surname and becoming a full fledged McConnell. The fourth and final season concluded after 22 episodes on May 27, 1982.

Season Four of Mork and Mindy began airing on Octoon ABC. Link above to 9 Promos shot by Robin Williams (and Ralph James) in 1981 for the opening episodes of Season 4 including Limited Engagement, The Wedding, The Honeymoon and Three the Hard Way.
