In the fourth season, Mork and Mindy were married.
Jonathan Winters, one of Williams' idols, was brought in as their child, Mearth. Due to the different Orkan
physiology, Mork laid an egg, which grew and hatched into the much older Winters. It had been previously explained that Orkans aged "backwards", thus explaining Mearth's appearance and that of his teacher, Miss Geezba (portrayed by then 11-year-old actress
Louanne). Other attempts included the use of special guest stars. However, due to the continuing ratings slide,
Mork and Mindy was cancelled after its fourth season, on May 27, 1982.
