Out of the Blue

- Trivia Facts

This show was an ill-fated attempt by ABC to further cash in on spin-offs of "Happy Days" (1974). At the time, both "Laverne & Shirley" (1976) and "Mork & Mindy" (1978) were huge successes, so the idea was to use the Mork motif to create a one-off, other-worldly character (Random) on Happy Days, then spin him off as the center of a new show. Robin Williams (I) even guest-starred as Mork in the pilot, but it still wasn't enough to get the show jump-started.
Thirteen episodes were filmed but the show was canceled after nine episodes aired.
